NCTI Field Tech III - IV conventional questions with correct answers

100basefx Answer A 100BaseT variant that runs over fiber-optic cabling. 100BaseFX is generally used for high-speed local area network (LAN) backbones. 100baseT Answer Based on the standard from Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 Ethernet and uses twisted-pair cabling, as does 10BaseT Ethernet. However, 100BaseT runs 10 times faster than 10Base2 and 10Base5, at 100 megabits per second (Mbps). 10base2 Answer Also known as Thinnet, one of several physical cabling standards from Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) for IEEE 802.3 Ethernet networks. 10Base2 uses thin RG-58A/U coaxial cabling for connecting nodes on a bus topology, as does 10Base5. 10base5 Answer also known as Thicknet, 10Base5 was the original Ethernet cabling standard. It is called Thicknet because it uses a coaxial cable approximately 0.4 inch thick. 10baseT Answer One of several physical cabling standards for IEEE 802.3 Ethernet local area networks (LAN). 10BaseT networks use twisted pair cabling for connecting nodes in a star topology. address resolution protocol (ARP) Answer The protocol used by transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) for address resolution. Address resolution refers to the ability of a station to resolve another station's media access control (MAC) (hardware) address given its Internet protocol (IP) address.
