Answer 4

110 Punch Down Tool

Question 5

In 10/100/1000BASE-T applications, the maximum cable distance of a CAT 6 cable including patch cables is limited to __________________________? *

Answer 5

100 meters

Question 6

The term ________________________________ describes a communication system in which the media carries one signal only. That signal may have many components, but from the perspective of the wire or fiber, it is the only signal. *

Answer 6

Baseband

Question 7

For CAT5e, CAT6 UTP ethernet cabling the pairs must not be untwisted at the connector more than______________ in order to prevent crosstalk or return loss at high frequencies. *

Answer 7

1/2”

Question 8

For digital devices, bandwidth is usually expressed in____________________. Choose all that apply. *

Answer 8

• bits per second (bps)

* Bytes per second (Bps)

Question 9

___________ is directly related to cable length, so it’s important to keep the slack out of cable runs. Rule of Thumb: Do not leave COILS of cabling in the wall or ceiling cavity. A small service loop (aprox 2’) at each end is all that is required.

Answer 9

Inductance

Question 10

____________ is a natural consequence that refers to any reduction (loss) in the strength of a signal and it can occur in both optical and electrical signaling. *

Answer 10

Attentuation

Question 11

_______________________ occurs when too much wire is untwisted causing the signals to radiate into other pairs within the cable, and occurs most frequently at the point where the connector attaches to the wire. *

Answer 11

Crosstalk

Question 12

In which order should the UTP wires be placed in the slots on the wiring block with the white wire of each pair first as you learned from your reading? *

Answer 12

Blue, Orange, Green, Brown

Question 13

The cabling installed in the ceiling for Local Area Networks (LAN’s) is stranded wire, with each pair twisted at a different rate. *

Answer 13

False

Question 14

This tool is designed to test all common low voltage cabling systems found in today’s networks to ensure the cabling meets the TIA/EIA standard being tested. *

Answer 14

Multimedia cable tester

Question 15

Which of the following is the “preferred” tool to use when removing the cable jacket from stranded ethernet cabling? *

Answer 15

Ethernet UTP/STP cable stripper

Question 16

In order to build a patch cable you will need to separate the wires and order them according to the proper colour code for the type of connection being made (T568A or T568B). *

Answer 16

True

Question 17

What type of battery is used to power the wire tracer probe and transmitter that was included in your tool kit? *

Answer 17

9 volt

Question 18

How many conductors are there in a Category 5e UTP cable? *

Answer 18
