What are network connectivity test sets?
Network connectivity test sets are used to test for proper transmission and reception of data communication signals between devices within a network.
Some connectivity test sets are nothing more than fancy cable testers that check for continuity while others can test…?
Twisted pair cables, network connectivity, and Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Connectivity test sets can also see if data is streaming between the _______ and ________ on your network, also testing the cables between each device.
switch and each of the various hosts
In a network test, a series of ________ determine and report information about a switch or device
queries
When checking cables, some test sets are ___________ testers that pass bits across the cable while others evaluate the _______ qualities of the cable using a series of radio frequency (RF) tests to determine the transmission parameters of the cable.
transmission
physical
The parameters are compared to the test limits specified by IEEE
802.3 for Ethernet to include…?
10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T, 2.5GBASE-T, 5GBASE-T and
10GBASE-T.
Some test sets for cables measure the delay skew between pairs and Transmission parameters such as…?
Insertion loss, Return loss, NEXT, Delay skew between pairs, and wiremap showing opens, shorts, split pairs and miswires.
