Progression: Field Tech IV - V
Conventional
Which of the following is most typical of a broadband network? - -Multiple
analog channels
-What components are common to all computer systems? (Check all that
apply.) - -Processor
Memory
Storage
I/O
-What does I/O stand for? - -Input / Output
-A NIC is a device used for: - -Signaling
-A sound card is what general type of computer component? - -Input/output
-Which of the following is managed by the OS? - -Keyboard input
Screen display
File I/O
Peripheral control
-The primary purpose of a device driver is to control hardware under the
supervision of the OS. True or False? - -True
-Which of the following network topologies forms a closed loop? - -Ring
topology
-Which of the following network topologies connects devices to a shared
straight-line cable? - -Bus topology
-M1L5 When is UTP cable preferred over STP? - -When there is little
electrical interference
-Which connector type is used with Thinnet coaxial cable? - -BNC
-Which of the following cable types uses a T-connector to connect each NIC
to the cable? - -Thinnet
-Which of the following cable types can transmit data farthest? - -Fiber optic
-How are bits represented on fiber optic cable? - -Pulses (on/off) of light
, -Which of the following are the two primary types of light sources in fiber
optic cables? - -Laser diode and LED
-What is the main advantage of star topology? - -Ease of management
-Which of the following would not be used in a typical star topology? - -
Thinnet
-How many wire pairs can be terminated on a 66 block? - -25 or 50
-What makes a crossover cable different from a patch cord? - -A crossover
cable uses the 568A pattern on one jack, and the 568B pattern on the other.
A patch cord uses the same pinout pattern on both jacks.
-What is the key reason that smart LAN administrators demand well-made
cable connections? - -Bad cable connections degrade a network's
performance.
-What is the main advantage of using balanced signaling on a serial cable? -
-The cable can be longer because balanced signaling is less vulnerable to
interference.
-What term describes the number of wave crests that pass a fixed point
during a particular period of time? - -Frequency
-In data networking, this term is defined as "Signals may flow in either
direction, but not simultaneously". - -Half-duplex
-Two CPUs have the same size data bus. Which one will process data faster?
- -The one with a higher clock speed
-This unique ID number is coordinated by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers and is used by only one network interface card
anywhere in the world. - -Media access control address (MAC)
-Which is a network management and utility software that is typically used
by network administrators and information systems personnel when the
network is unused or lightly used, often in the middle of the night? - -Backup
and recovery utilities
-Which of the following is also called "Thicknet" or "yellow wire" and includes
two layers of foil shielding as well as an additional copper mesh shield? - -
10Base5 cable
-According to 10BaseT wiring rules, what is the maximum segment length
without a repeater? - -100m
