NCTI Field Tech III - IV conventional Exam
Questions And Answers
100basefx -
correct answer ✅A 100BaseT variant that runs over fiber-optic
cabling. 100BaseFX is generally used for high-speed local area
network (LAN) backbones.
100baseT -
correct 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 -
correct 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 -
correct 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.

Questions And Answers
10baseT -
correct 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) -
correct 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.
appletalk -
correct answer ✅Was Apple's proprietary, seven-layer, peer-to-
peer network communications protocol for Macintosh networks.
AppleTalk ran on Apple network topologies, as well as over
Ethernet and Token Ring networks.
asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) -
correct answer ✅A cell-switching network that consists of multiple
ATM switches that forward each individual cell to its final

Questions And Answers
destination. ATM can provide transport services for audio, data, and
video.
Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) -
correct answer ✅Described in RFC (Request for Comments) 951, is
a method in which a diskless workstation or terminal can obtain an
Internet protocol (IP) address from a BOOTP server.
bridge -
correct answer ✅A hardware device that connects local area
networks (LAN). It can be used to connect LANs of the same type or
LANs with different types of medias. A bridge operates at the Data
Link Layer (Layer 2) of the Open Systems Interconnection reference
model (OSI/RM).
bridge router (brouter) -
correct answer ✅A brouter is an internet working device that
combines the functions of both a bridge and a router. See router.
broadcast -
correct answer ✅The term broadcast is used in several different
ways in communications and networking. With respect to local area
networks (LAN), the term refers to information (that is, frames) sent
