Q

straight through cable identification

A

compare both ends of the cable with one another. if the color and stripe order of the twisted pears are in the same position on both ends of the cable, it is a straight through cable.

Q

Crossover cables

A

used to connect two computing devices directly to one another.

25
Enterprise network
the it infrastructure that midsize and large organizations used to provide connectivity among users devices and applications
26
What can most new enterprise devices do?
detect ethernet connection types and select the correct wires for sending and receiving data using auto medium dependent interface crossover technology.
27
Auto medium dependent interface crossover, Auto-MDI/MDIX ports
they replace the crossover cable function for connecting two devices they use the same sending and receiving wires for data communications
28
what are examples of an enterprise machine
server, switch, router, hub
29
what is a crossover cable connection normally used for
update, repair, perform admin tasks on the enterprise machin
30
where should a crossover cable be connected?
between the ethernet port/ network interface card (NIC) on the it administrative system in the management part of the enterprise machine.
31
What does it crossover cable connection do?
access is the operating system and/or management interface of an enterprise machine, connects to switches, two hubs, a switch to a hub, to routers, two PC, or router to a pc.
32
crossover cables key for a T-568-A
Crossover cable key: Endpoint 1 of the Ethernet cable: Pins 1 & 2 - Green wires for sending data Pins 3 & 6 - Orange wires for receiving data Endpoint 2 of the Ethernet cable: Pins 1 & 2 - Orange wires for sending data Pins 3 & 6 - Green wires for receiving data
33
T-568-B scheme
if you see orange wires start at pin positions 3 and 6, they should cross over to pin positions 1 and 2 at the opposite end of the cable. Green wires should start at pin positions 1 and 2, crossing over to 3 and 6 at the opposite end. This wiring crossover is needed to connect two computers that transmit and receive data on the same wires. Blue and brown wires do not cross over to different positions in this set-up.
34
Straight-through cables use the T568B wiring scheme, while crossover cables use
both schemes.
35
The most common plug that terminates twisted pair network cables
RJ45, register jack 45.
36
what is the purpose of switches
to connect many network devices
37
how many network ports do servers and desktops usually have
one or two
38
what do most network ports have?
a link light and an activity light
39
when is a link light lit
when a cable is properly connected to two devices that are both powered on
40
when does an activity light flash
when data is transmitted across a cable
41
what should I know about port lights
there's almost always troubleshooting data available through them
42
how reports connected to the network
usually through cables run through the walls that ended a patch panel
43
what is the patch panel
a device containing many network ports. a container for the endpoints of runs of cable.
44
where do cables go that are run from a patch panel
to switches a routers to provide network access to the computers at the other end of the patch panel links.
45
What is a crimper
a handheld tool that looks like a set of pliers. you use it to squeeze or crimp wires To connect them
46
what is a cable stripper
a hand held the vote that removes the protective rubber coating from cables.
47
what is a wifi analyzer
a scanner then analyzes the power and quality of the wifi in an area, collect data about the wifi and its circumstances. Inspect power and wifi quality
48
what is a toner probe
part of a settled device is used to find the ethernet and other internet connectors. one device plugs into a cable while the other device uses a tone which gets louder as it gets closer to the device plugged into the cable
49
what is a punch down tool (krone tool)
a tool used to punch down wires into panels or jacks. first the protective covering is taken off the wires, then the wires are punched in place
50
what is a cable tester
a device that digitally measures integrity of a cable for compliance with developed cabling standards.
51
what does a cable tester measure
attenuation impedance noise near end crosstalk attenuation to crosstalk ratio (ACR) powerSum NEXT It measures integrity for standards compliance
52
Attenuation
The loss of communication signal strength that is measured in decibels
53
Impedance
the effective resistance of an electric current or component to alternating current, arising from the combined effects of ohmic resistance and reactance
54
Noise as detected by a cable tester
voltage, current spikes, random noise, crosstalk
55
Near end crosstalk (next)
Measures the signal coupled from one pair of wires to another. refers to the ability of twisted wire cabling to reject crosstalk. Measures crosstalk pairs of wire at the near end of the circuits, link, or channel where the signal is sourced
56
ACR, Attenuation to crosstalk ratio
a parameter measured when testing a communication link, which represents the overall performance of the cable. a mathematical formula that calculates the ratio of attenuation to near end crosstalk for each combination of cable pairs
57
PSNEXT, PowerSum NEXT
This measures the total crosstalk between one wire pair and all its neighbors
58
Loopback plug
a device that tests ports. wires are connected in a loop that sends traffic back to the port after it receives it
59
network tap
a device that copies traffic information for use in monitoring devices. an external device.
