Chapter 2 Fundamentals Of Ethernet Lans Flashcards
What is IEEE
The institute of electrical and electronics engineers, they define the cabling, the connectors on the ends of the cables, the protocol rules, and everything else required to create an Ethernet LAN

What kind of connector do Ethernet copper cables use
RJ-45
UTP
Unshielded twisted pair. The most common type of ethernet cable
EMI
Electromagnetic interference.
What is it called when there is EMI between wire pairs in the same cable.
Crosstalk
GBIC
Gigabit Ethernet Interface Converter. this is the original form factor for a removable transceiver for gigabit interfaces larger than SFPs(small form pluggable) supports speeds of 1 Gbps
SFP
Small Form Pluggable. The replacement for GBICs used on a gigabit interface with a smaller size, taking up less space on the side of the networking card or switch . SFP supports speeds upto 4.25 Gbps
SFP+
Small Form Pluggable Plus. It is the same size as the SFP but used on 10 Gbps interfaces.
How many pairs of wires does 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T require to transfer data?
2 pairs
How many pairs of wires does 1000BASE-T require to transfer data?
4 pairs
