Answer:

External EMI/RFI

Explanation:

The EMI stands for Electromagnetic interference. It is a radio frequency spectrum which is disturbance that is created by the external source which affects the electric circuit by an electromagnetic induction or conductance. It is also called as the RFI or the radio-frequency interference.

In the context, the three Cat 5e cable were run from the office area to the three computers in the machine shop. The users reports a problem of a very slow network performance and also the switch reports CRC errors. This is mainly caused due to the external EMI or the external RFI.
