Twisted Pair Cable Termination Standards

The two standards that determine how twisted pair cable is terminated is _______ and _______.

• None of the above

• Crossover and Straight Through

• TIA/EIA 568A and TIA/EIA 568B

• Twisted Pair Code A and Twisted pair Code B

Transmission mediums are the physical pathways that connect computers, other devices, and people on a network—the highways and byways that comprise the information superhighway.

• True

• False

There are two types of coaxial cable connectors commonly used in networks today, RG-6 and RG-59, can terminate with one of two connector types: an F-type connector or a ______________ connector.

• Straight Tip

• RG-56

• ABC

• BNC

A twisted pair cable may contain from 1 to __________ wire pairs.

• 420

• 4200

• 4

• 8400

Media converters are able to _________

• convert any type of media such as AVI to MPEG

• play any media type

• interconnect fiber networks together easily to increase bandwidth

• interconnect different types of cables within an existing network receiving data from one type of cable and convert the signals for transmission along another cable type

The difference from Single Mode Fiber to Multi Mode Fiber is _________.

• the increase topology requirements of SMF

• MMF can only be used in a home network

• in MMF, light is generated by an LED and can travel at different angles

• MMF is not as sturdy, therefore, can break more often than SMF

RJ-45 connectors are commonly used in a fiber optic only setups.

• False

• True

Two coaxial cable types commonly used in networks today, they are _______ and _______.

• RG-7, RG-60

• Thicknet, Thinnet

• RG-6, RG-59

• RG-8, RG-58

TIA/EIA has specified two different methods of inserting twisted pair wires into RJ-45 plugs:

• TIA/EIA 567A and TIA/EIA 568B.

• TIA/EIA 568A and TIA/EIA 568B.

• TIA/EIA 568A and TIA/EIA 568C.

• TIA/EIA TIA/EIA 568B and B+.

Fiber optic cables can provide ________.

• easy, hassle free installation

• a path for analog signals to traverse

• extremely high throughput up to 100 Gigabits

• all of the above
