4th 901 Networking Flashcards
_____ is a fiber optic subscriber connector and it uses a square connector
SC
______ is a straight tip fiber optic connector and it uses a bayonet connection, similar to BNC.
ST
______ is a fiber optic lucent connector. Its square size type is similar to an SC but is slightly smaller.
LC
_____ is a 2 pair 4 wire copper connector, typically used with analog phone lines
RJ-11
_____ is a four pair (8 wire) copper connector, typically used with ethernet lines
RJ-45
____ is a wiring standard for twisted pair cabling. Pins 1,2,3, and 6 are wired differently from a T568B.
T568A
_____ is a wiring standard for twisted pair cabling, and it is the most common type.
T568B
_____ is a bayonet type coaxial connector that twist and locks into place
BNC
_____ is a coaxial connector that is commonly used with cable modems and on RG-6 cabling
F-connectors
____ is a fiber cable used for long distance runs (greater than 2 kilometers) and typically uses a laser as a light source.
Single-mode fiber (SMF)
_____ is a fiber cable used for shorter distance runs (less than 2 kilometers) and typically uses a LEDs as a light source.
Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF)
_____ is a twisted pair cabling that provides an extra layer of protection inside the cable to help with shielding from interference. Each end of the shielding should be grounded.
Shielded Twisted Pair (STP)
_____ is an early use ethernet cable that ran at speeds of 10mbps up to 100 meters. This technology has been depreciated.
CAT3
_____ is an upgrade from CAT3 ethernet that allowed speeds of 100mbps and 1gbps up to 100 meters. This technology is also depreciated.
CAT5
____ is an enhanced version of CAT5 that allows the same speed as its predecessor. This technology allows you to get up to 1gbs at cable runs up to 100meters, something regular CAT5 had issues with.
CAT5e
_____ was created to account for new speeds up to 10gbps this was limited drastically from the distances of other standards topping out at 55 meters.
CAT6
____ is an enhanced version of CAT6, commonly known as CAT6a, it allows a full 10gbps at 100 meters.
CAT6e
____ a newer of CAT6 which allows shielding of the cabling at the same speeds and distances of 10gbps and 100 meters.
CAT7
_____ is used to run in plenum space, typically above a drop ceiling. This special type of cable helps reduce the chemicals that may burn during a fire.
Plenum Cable
______ is used in standard network cabling as a jacket for the cables.
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
______ allows you to use the wires in the cabling for more than one device. This is not recommended. It reduces signal quality.
Splitters
______ is used for longer cable runs, typically for the service providing company for carrying Internet or digital applications.
RG-6
______ is used by service providers for shorter cable runs, typically its found inside of buildings. It is not intended to carry ethernet traffic since it has an impedance of 75 ohms.
RG-59
_____ is a 32-bit address used for IP communication. Its address is separated into 4 octets, with 1 to 3 numbers in each octet.
IPv4
_____ is a 128-bit address used for IP communication. It was the result of an overhaul to IPv4, as the depletion of IP addresses began to become a concern. It created 340 undecillion unique addresses.
IPv6
_____ is an address that is routable and reachable on the internet. This is typically used in WAN applications to communicate across a service provider’s backbone.
A public address
____ is an address that is not routable via the internet, and is used only for local communication within a LAN. An ISP will block private IP addresses to/from the internet. These are defined in RFC 1918 for further research.
A private address
____ is a Microsoft developed protocol which assigns you an IP address within a reserved, private class when you have failed to receive an IP address from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. This address will always begin with 169.254.
APIPA Automatic Private IP Addressing
____ is an address that is put in manually by a user or administrator. It is often used in smaller or niche environments that don’t use dynamic addressing.
A Static Address
_____ is an address that is automatically assigned, typically by a router or DHCP server. This is typically used in larger environments with lots of nodes.
A dynamic address
