Multiple Select

Based on the slides, which characteristics describe the inside of a UTP cable?

• Contains 4 pairs of color-coded wires

• Each pair is twisted together

• Protected by an outer plastic jacket

• Uses shielding for protection

Multiple Choice

What is the main purpose of twisting the pairs of wires inside a UTP cable?

• To cancel interference and prevent crosstalk

• To make the cable stronger

• To reduce the cost of the cable

• To increase the cable length

Multiple Select

Which of the following are defined by the TIA/EIA-568 standard?

• Cable types

• Length limits

• Connectors

• Termination methods

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is NOT a property of fiber-optic cabling?

• Higher bandwidth than copper

• Supports longer distances (up to 100 km or more)

• Immune to EMI/RFI and electrical hazards

• Requires no specialized skills or equipment to install

Multiple Select

Which of the following statements correctly describe single-mode fiber (SMF)?

• Has a small core

• Uses a laser light source

• Best for short distances

• More expensive than multimode

Multiple Choice

What is the main difference between single-mode and multimode fiber regarding the path of light?

• Single-mode fiber sends light in multiple angles, multimode in one straight path

• Single-mode fiber sends light in one straight path, multimode at multiple angles

• Both send light in one straight path

• Both send light at multiple angles
