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
When light travels through a fiber-optic cable, the change in
refractive index causes the light to refract off which of the
following?
The boundary between the core and the cladding
Which of the following requires a laser transmitter?
Single-mode fiber
, In what part of a building would you typically find punch-
down blocks?
Wiring closet
Which OSI model layers are concerned primarily with
applications?
The top three
Which layers are primarily concerned with moving raw data?
The lower four
Which of the following is the primary purpose of a Physical
Layer protocol?
Transmit bits across a physical link
Which of the following will not occur at the Physical Layer?
Rerouting of information
Which of the following is the primary purpose of a Data Link
Layer protocol?
Transmit frames across a physical link
