Question 4

What standard does IEEE 802.3ab describe?
A) 1000BaseLX
B) 1000BaseT
C) 100BaseT
D) 1000BaseSX

Answer 4

B) IEEE 802.3ab is the 1000BaseT Standard (also known as Gigabit Ethernet)

Question 5

What is the big physical difference between 1000BaseSX and 100Base FX?
A) 1000BaseSX uses the SC connector exclusively.
B) 1000BaseSX is single-mode, whereas 100BaseFX is multimode.
C) 1000BaseSX uses the ST connector exclusively.
D) There is no difference.

Answer 5

A) While 1000BaseSX look similar to 100BaseFX, the former does not allow the use of the ST connector.

Answer 6

D) 1000BaseLX can go fo 5000 meters.

Question 7

What is a big advantage to using fiber-optic cable?
A) Fiber is common glass; therefore, it’s less expensive.
B) Fiber is not affected by EMI.
C) Making custom cable lengths is easier with fiber.
D) All that orange fiber looks impressive in the network closet.

Answer 7

A) Because fiber uses glass and light, it is not affected by EMI.
