Module 2.7 Flashcards
A ___________ is an older-style distribution frame used to terminate telephone cabling and legacy data applications (pre-Cat 5)
66 block
A 66 block comprises ______ rows of 4 IDC terminals
50
The ____________ (developed by AT&T) is a type of distribution frame supporting 100 MHz operation (Cat 5) and better
110 block
A 110 wiring block is arranged horizontally rather than vertically, offering better density than a ________
66 block
Where a 110 block uses a two-piece design where wafer blocks are installed over the main block, competing formats ________________ distribution frames use a single module.
BIX and Krone
110 blocks and BIX blocks (developed by Nortel) are common in North America, while some European vendors often prefer ____________
Krone
Type of distribution frame used with twisted pair cabling with IDCs to terminate fixed cabling on one side and modular jacks to make cross-connections to other equipment on the other.
patch panel
Tool used to terminate solid twisted pair copper cable to an Insulation Displacement Connector.
punch down tool
Tool to join a network jack to the ends of network patch cable.
cable crimper
Type of distribution frame with pre-wired connectors used with fiber optic cabling.
Fiber distribution Panel
Fiber patch cables are used to complete the link from the wall port to the NIC and from the patch panel to the __________
switch port.
Using connectors does reduce the overall performance of the cable. Each connector will “cost” a certain amount of insertion loss (typically budgeted as ______ dB) and reflection loss.
0.5
Tool for joining strands of fiber optic cable with minimal signal loss.
Fusion Splicer
Connectors for ______________ splicing do not require a tray and the protective cover is built into the connector.
field terminated
Component in a network interface that converts data to and from the media signalling type. Modular transceivers are designed to plug into switches and routers.
transceivers/media converters
