Media Types Flashcards
the difference between the different cable categories is the _______ _____ they can handle without having any crosstalk.
maximum, speed
The numbers of these cable categories represent the _________ of the twists that are applied to the _____.
tightness, wires
Category 3 has a maximum speed of __ megabits per second. And this is an old category, that was used on old ______-__ Ethernet networks.
10 mbps, 10BASE-T
Category 5 has a maximum speed of ___ megabits per second and these were used on _______-__ & ___ Ethernet networks.
100 mbps, 100BASE-T, TX
Category 5e is an _________ version of category 5, and it has speeds of over ____ megabits per second. And these are used on ________-__ Ethernet networks.
enchanted, 1000 mbps, 1000BASE-T
Category 6 also has a maximum speed of ____ megabits per second. And is also used on ________-__ Ethernet networks
1000 mbps, 1000BASE-T
Category 6 is more of a _______ duty cable when compared to category 5e. And is also used on _______-__ networks. Which has a max speed of ______ megabits per second. But only for cable lengths of less than 100 meters.
heavier, 10GBASE-T, 10,000 mbps
Category 6a or _________. And this has a maximum speed of ______ megabits per second. And is used on 10GBASE-T networks. And unlike category 6, this has a _______ length of 100 meters.
augmented, 10,000 mbps, maximum
Unshielded twisted pair is by far the most ________ type of _____ that is used today.
common, cable
UTP, It consists of ____ pairs of ___________ wires twisted around each other. The wires are twisted to prevent ______________ interference or crosstalk.
four, unshielded, electromagnetic
UTP Cabling is mainly used on _____ ____ networks.
Local, area
In UTP Cabling, The greater number of ______ , the better prevention of __________.
twists, interference
shielded twisted pair is very similar to unshielded twisted pair, except that it has a ____ shield that covers the _____.
foil, wires
(STP) This shielding adds a layer of protection against _______________ interference leaking into or out of a _____.
electromagnetic, cable
Coaxial cable is used today primarily by _____ providers, to provide a computer with _________ _______ connection.
cable, broadband, internet,
Early on, Coaxial cables was used as the ________ for networks, such as a ___ network.
backbone, bus
There are two common types of coaxial cable __-_ and __-__
RG-6 and RG-59
(1st Type of Coaxial cable) RG-6 = made for ____ distances and commonly used for _____ television and internet __________.
long, cable, connection
(2nd Type of Coaxial cable) RG-59 = made for _____ distances and generally used for __ /__ video.
short, HD/HQ
Fiber optic cable uses pulses of _____ to send ____. And as a result, it is very fast and it can span for great _________.
light, data, distances
There are two different modes in fiber optics
SMF (Single Mode Fiber), MMF (Multi-Mode Fiber)
Single mode fiber = is a fiber optic cable that allows _____ to enter only at a ______ angle
light, single
(SMF) so when this type of transmission of _____ enters at this _____, it can span for great distances.
light, angle
in multi-mode, light travels in ________ beams that reflect off the _____ of the cable. also, multi-mode fiber is made for _____ distances.
multiple, walls, short
- Sometimes you might need to convert different media types in your network.
- So if you’re running different types of media such as fiber ,Ethernet, or coaxial within your network, then you can convert and connect all these different types by using a _____ _________ .
media converter
Media converters allows you to convert to different types of _____. Such as converting single and multi-mode fiber to ________ , fiber to coaxial, and single mode fiber to multi-mode fiber, and so on.
media, ethernet,
