Chapter 2 Flashcards
Which topologies require termination?
in a BUS topology, all computers connected to the network via a main line. The cable had to be terminated at both ends to prevent signal reflection.
Star-Bus is an example of a _____ topology?
Star-bus is a HYBRID topology because it uses a star physical topology and a bus signal topology.
Of the topologies listed, which one is the most fault-tolerant? A. Point-to-Point B. Bus C. Star D. Ring
Star is the only topology that has any fault tolerance.
What term is used to describe the inter-connectivity of network components?
Topology is the term used to describe the inter-connectivity of network components.
Coaxial cables all have a(n)_____ rating.
All Coaxial cables have an Ohm Rating. RG-69 and RG-6 both are rated at 75 Ohm.
Which of the following is a type of coaxial cable? A. RJ-45 B. RG-59 C. BNC D. Barrel
RG-59 is a type of coaxial cable
Which network topology connected nodes with a ring of a cable?
The aptly named Ring Topology connected nodes with a central ring of cable.
Which network topology is most commonly seen only in wireless network?
Mesh is, for the most part, unique to wireless networks.
Which of the following is a duplex fiber-optic connection? A. LC B. RJ-45 C. ST D. SC
Only the LC connector is designed for duplex fiber-optics.
What is the most common category of UTP used in new cabling installations?
Cat 6 is the most common cabling category used today, although Cat 6a and Cat 7 are gaining in popularity.
What Topology connects all devices in a line?
Bus - that connects all the computers in a line.
What Topology stops the data flow if there is a break in the network?
Ring - A break in a ring topology network simply broke the circuit, stopping the data flow.
what topology has a central connection box for all computers on the network?
Star - Uses a central connection box for all the computers connected on the network.
If one of the cables broke, all of the other computers could still communicate. What is this called?
Fault Tolerance
From how the signal travel electronically is called?
Logical Topology
