2.1 Given A Scenario, Deploy The Appropriate Cabling Solution

Question 1

• contains four pairs of wires surrounded by a plastic
  jacket that can transmit and receive data.
• Unprotected by EMI

Answer 1

UTP(Unshielded twisted Pair

Question 2

• consists of twisted pairs of wires surrounded by shielding to protect them from EMI
• six types
• cost more

Answer 2

STP(Shielded Twisted Pair)

Question 3

• central conductor wire (usually copper) surrounded
  by an insulating material, which, in turn, is surrounded by a braided metal shield. The cable is referred to as coaxial (coax for short) because the center
  wire and the braided metal shield share a common axis or centerline

Answer 3

Coaxial

Question 4

Type of 8 Wire connector

Answer 4

RJ-45

Question 5

Telephones used RJ-11 connectors, designed to support up to two pairs of UTP wires

Answer 5

RJ-11

Question 6

Back in the day, the most popular cable used special bayonet-style connectors (RG58)

Answer 6

BNC

Question 7

The most common serial port at the end of the technology was a 9-pin, male D-subminiature

Answer 7

DB-9

Question 8

Parallel was also limited to point-to-point topology, meaning directly connecting two devices with a single cable. They used a 25-pin female

Answer 8

DB-25

Question 9

• used to connect televisions to cable boxes or to satellite receivers
• screws on

Answer 9

F-type

Question 10

• connectors are always duplex, meaning both the send and receive cables are attached.

Answer 10

LC connector

Question 11

Fiber-optic connector used primarily with 2.5-mm, singlemode fiber. It uses a push on, then twist-to-lock mechanical connection commonly called stick-and-twist although ST actually stands for straight
tip.

Answer 11

ST connector

Question 12

Fiber-optic connector used to terminate single-mode and multimode fiber. It is characterized by its push-pull, snap mechanical coupling, known as “stick and click.” Commonly referred to as subscriber connector, standard connector, and sometimes, square connector.

Answer 12

SC connector

Three subtypes
- APC 8-degree angle to the curved end, lowering signal loss further

• UPC polished extensively for a superior finish. These reduce signal loss significantly over PC connectors
• MTRJ The first type of small form factor (SFF) fiber connector, still in common use

Question 13

Cisco module that enables you to add additional features to its routers

Answer 13

small form-factor pluggable (SFP)

Question 14

Modular port that supports a standardized, wide variety of gigabit interface modules.

Answer 14

GBIC

Question 15

enhanced small form-factor pluggable used in 10 GbE networks

Answer 15

(SFP+),

Question 16

BiDi fiber-optic

connector used in 40GBase networks.

Answer 16

quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP)

Question 17

have only a single optical port designed inside to send on one wavelength, such as 1310 nm, and receive on a different wavelength, such as 1550 nm. A corresponding BiDi transceiver must be installed on the other end of the fiber for this to work.

Answer 17

BiDi transceiver

Question 18

• punchdown blocks common in telecommunication

- one or more 25-pair UTP cables

Answer 18

66 block

Question 19

• Introduces less crosstalk than 66 blocks, so most high-speed network installations use the former for both telephone service and LANs
• used to link UTP and STP cables behind an RJ-45 patch panel

Answer 19

110 block

Question 20

• a box with a row of female ports in the front and
  permanent connections in the back, to which you connect the horizontal cables
• come with Cat ratings

Answer 20

Patch panel
