1.

What kind of cable is it?

a)

Multimode

b)

Coaxial cable

c)

Fiber-optic cable

d)

Single-mode

2.

___________ can reach distances of several miles or kilometers before the signal needs to regenerate.

a)

Single-mode

b)

Fiber-optic cable

c)

Ethernet cable

d)

Multimode

3.

(a)   is the cable that has a thicker core than a single-mode cable. It is easier to make, can use simpler light sources such as Light Emitting Diodes (LEDS), and works well over distances of a few kilometers or less.

4.

It takes all the bits being sent out by the computers and relays them onto the other devices on the network.

(a)  

5.

What type of glass fiber-optic cable is it?

a)

Multimode

b)

Single mode

6.

(a)   is the cable that has a very thin core. It is harder to make, uses lasers as a light source, and can transmit signals dozens of kilometers with ease.

7.

This picture is a

a)

Straight-through Ethernet Cable

b)

Cross-over

8.

Give at least 3 materials and tools used for making Ethernet cables.

4 lines
9.

It can be used to connect two network devices directly, without the need for a router in the middle.

a)

Ethernet cables

b)

Straight-through Ethernet Cable

c)

Single-mode

d)

Cross-over cable

10.

It simply reverses some of the pins so that the output on one computer is being sent to the input of another.

a)

Single-mode

b)

Router

c)

Cross-over cable

d)

Straight-through Ethernet Cable

11.

Fiber-optic cable can reach distances of several miles or kilometers before the signal needs to______

a)

Regenerated

b)

Assemble

c)

Flow

12.

Common connectors for fiber-optic networks are_____

a)

Straight-through Ethernet Cable

b)

RJ45 Crimping tool

c)

SC, ST, and LC

d)

Ethernet cable tester

13.

This picture is a

a)

Optical fiber

b)

EMI or RMI

c)

Cross-over cable

d)

Straight-through Ethernet Cable

14.

This is a glass or plastic conductor that transmits information using light.

(a)  

15.

Fiber optic cable has one or more optical fibers enclosed in a sheath or jacket. Because it is made of glass, fiber- optic cable is not affected by __________.

a)

EMI or RMI

b)

SC, ST, and LC.
