Q

____________________ is immune to electromagnetic or radio-frequency interference.

A) Twisted pair cabling
B) CSMA/CD
C) Broadband coaxial cabling
D) Fiber-optic cabling

A

Fiber-optic cabling.
Companies that want to ensure the safety and integrity of their data should use fiber‐optic cable because it is not affected by electromagnetic or radio‐frequency interference. Even though some copper cables have shielding, they are not immune to EMI or RFI. This eliminates twisted pair and coaxial. CSMA/CD is an access method, not a cable type.

You need to put a connector on the end of an Ethernet crossover cable. The existing end has a white and green colored wire at pin 1. What color do you need to make pin 1 on the new end?

A) White/green
B) Green
C) White/orange
D) Orange

A

White/orange.
A crossover cable will flip pins 1 and 3 on each end. Therefore, this end needs to have the white/orange wire as pin 1. The correct order for this cable should be white/orange, orange, white/green, blue, white/blue, green, white/brown, brown.

Q

___________________ is the type of media access method used by NICs that listen to or sense the cable to check for traffic and send only when they hear that no one else is transmitting.

T568A/T568B, CSMA/CD, CSMA/CA, Demand priority

A

CSMA/CD.
Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) specifies that the NIC pause before transmitting a packet to ensure that the line is not being used. If no activity is detected, then it transmits the packet. If activity is detected, it waits until it is clear. In the case of two NICs transmitting at the same time (a collision), both NICs pause to detect and then retransmit the data. CSMA/CA listens to the line as well but tries to avoid collisions. T568A/T568B are twisted pair wiring standards. Demand priority is a media access method, but we didn’t discuss it at all in the chapter as it’s not related to the A+ exam. It’s used with a standard called 100BaseVG.

Q

Your ISP has just finished running fiber-optic cable in your neighborhood, and you want to switch from cable Internet to a faster fiber-optic connection. Which of the following statements is true about how you will get an Internet connection?

A) You will continue to use your cable modem.
B) You need to switch to using a DSL modem.
C) You need to switch to using an ONT.
D) You need to switch to using PoE.

A

You need to switch to using an ONT.

Fiber‐optic Internet connections use an optical network terminal (ONT) to terminate the fiber and translate it into a digital connection over copper cable inside your home. A cable modem and DSL modem connect copper to copper. Power over Ethernet (PoE) is not relevant in this situation.

Q

If you are going to run a network cable in the space above the drop ceiling in your office, which type of cable should you use?

Plenum, PVC, Coaxial, Fiber-optic

A

Plenum.
For areas where a cable must be fire retardant, such as in a drop ceiling, you must run plenum‐grade cable. Plenum refers to the coating on the sleeve of the cable, not the copper or fiber within the cable itself. PVC is the other type of coating typically found on network cables, but it produces poisonous gas when burned.

What Ethernet specification would you be running if you needed to make a connection of 10 Gbps over a distance of 5 kilometers?

10GBaseER, 10GBaseT, 10GBaseSR, 10GBaseLR

A

10GBaseER.
If you need to make a connection that is 5 kilometers long, then you are limited to fiber‐optic cable, specifically single‐mode fiber (SMF). Two common SMF standards are 10GBaseER and 10GBaseEW. (Think of the E as extended.) A T designation in an Ethernet standard refers to twisted pair. SR and LR are fiber standards that do not stretch for 5 kilometers.

Which of the following are advantages to using a SAN? (Choose two.)

A) More storage space on the network
B) More efficient data storage
C) Faster data access
D) Automated data backups

A

More efficient data storage
Faster data access

B, C. Storage area networks (SANs) have many advantages, including block‐level data storage, which is more efficient. They also reduce network loads, provide faster data access, and are easily expandable. They do not inherently provide more storage space (although they are easy to expand) or do automated data backups (although they are easier to set up).

You are installing a network at a friend’s house, and it’s impossible to run a network cable from one point in the house to another. Your friend does not want to use wireless networking. Which of the following is the best option to get network connectivity between the two points?

Power over Ethernet injector, Power over Ethernet switch, Ethernet over Power, Router

A

Ethernet over Power.
Ethernet over Power can transmit network signals over power lines within a closed circuit, such as a house. It’s the best choice. PoE devices provide power to devices that have only an Ethernet connection available. A router is for connecting network segments together.

A

Firewall.
The job of a firewall is to block unwanted network traffic. Firewalls do this by using a list of rules called an access control list (ACL). Routers connect networks to each other, and switches are central connectivity points for networks. A network attached storage (NAS) device is like a dedicated file server.

RG-6, RG-8, RG-58, RG-59

A

RG-6.
The two RG standards used for cable television are RG‐6 and RG‐59. Of the two, RG‐6 is better because it can run longer distances and can handle digital signals. RG‐59 is for analog signals only. RG‐8 is thicknet coax, and RG‐58 is thinnet coax.
