Which factor is identified as a weakness of the Vindicator system?

• A. State-of-the-art redundant cables
• B. No power issues
• C. Deteriorating base cables causing outages
• D. Wireless backup eliminates outages

Answer: (C)

Reliability comes from solid physical connections. If the base cables deteriorate, insulation wears, connections loosen, and signal paths become unreliable. That degradation directly leads to outages in the Vindicator system, compromising alarm integrity and availability. Aging infrastructure is a true weakness because it undermines the system’s ability to operate consistently without intervention. The other scenarios describe protective measures or ideal conditions—redundant cables add resilience, no power issues imply a healthy power supply, and wireless backups aim to prevent outages—so they don’t reflect a weakness.
