17
Q

predominant fiber connector

A

LC-type connector

18
Q

PC connector

A

physical contact

2 pieces of fiber touch when inserted

highly polished & slightly spherical to reduce signal loss at point of connection

19
Q

flat-surface connector

A

older

left small gap between fibers due to imperfections in the glass

20
Q

UPC connector

A

ultra physical contact

polished extensively for superior finish

significantly reduces signal loss

21
Q

APC connector

A

angled physical contact

adds 8 degree angle to curved end > further reducing signal loss

connection does not degrade from multiple insertions

22
Q

media converters

A

simple boxes with a port or dongle on either side

used to connect any type of Ethernet cabling together

23
Q

common media converter variants

A

SMF to UTP/STP

MMF to UTP/STP

fiber to coaxial

SMF to MMF

24
Q

GBIC

A

gigabit interface converter

standard developed to support modular gigabit networks

modules can be replaced within hardware to convert from 1 type to another

i.e. RJ-45 to SC

25
Q

SFP

A

small form-factor plug-cable

smaller, swap-able module that has replaced GBIC

26
Q

defining factors of 10 GbE

A

type of fiber used

wavelength of laser

physical layer signaling type

factors also determine max signal distance

uses MMF rather than SMF

distance drops to 220 m for most variants

37
Q

10GBaseT

Q

MSAs

A

multisource agreements

agreements among manufacturers to make interoperable devices and standards

39
Q

MSA-base modules

A

plugs into 10 GbE equipment

enables conversion between media types by inserting the correct transceiver

40
Q

common MSA module

A

XENPAK

41
Q

SFP+

A

enhanced small form-factor pluggable

1 of the most popular 10 GbE transceivers

42
Q

multispeed Ethernet network

A

series of high speed (compared to the rest of the network) switches maintain the backbone network

no computers (except maybe some servers) connect to the backbone

each floor has its own switch that connects to all nodes

each floor has a high speed connection to the main backbone switch for that floor

must have switch with dedicated high speed ports (often fiber)
