Q

Cross-Over Cable

A

With Rj 45 connectors, if we have B standard on one end and A standard for the other end, we create a cross over cable.

Crossover cables reverse the sending and receiving wire pairs from one end to the other.

We use cross over cables to connect like devices. Computers connected to a computer use a cross over cable, routers to switches, or to connect network cards without a switch.

We connect switches to switches with cross-over cables

Signaling

A

Analog - continuous sine waveform. Suffer degradation when noise is introduced and when the signal is copied and retransmitted

Digital - a representation of the transmission using strict ons and offs. Very robust and fast. Requires additional machinery, can’t send a digital signal straight to a speak and expect it to work

59

A

Method by which multiple analog or digital signals are combined into one signal over a shared mediumDe-

67
Q

Time Division Multiplexing is a method of multiplexing where the separate data streams are divided using time, instead of space or frequency

70
Q

Divides bandwidth into separate chanels across a wide or broad band of frequencies

DSL, Cable TV, 2 way communuication

71
Q

Baseband

A

Uses the entire bandwidth of the network connection or media. Incredibly high data rates
