Topologies and Cabling Flashcards
Most popular Topology used today
Star-Bus / or Hybrid Topology
Where all hosts are connected to all host at the same time and is great for Wireless networks.
Mesh Topology (or Mess)
Mesh Topologies have __________ which when a cable breaks between 2 computers, it doesn’t affect the connection between the other machines.
Fault Tolerance
Partially Mesh networks use________ for better connectivity
Extenders
How is the Electronic Circuit Flow of Frames explained?
Logical Topology
What determines which coax cable it is, thickness, and conductor
RG or ( Radio Grade ) rating
Resistance is measured in:
OHMS
RG-6 is the standard Coax Cable used and works up to:
75 OHMS
Standard connector used on RG-6
F-Type
What type of connector Pushes on and twist?
BNC
What type of cable has 2 inner conductors in a twisted pair instead of 1
Twinaxial / Twinax cable
Twinax use what type of connectors
BNC and SFP+
Coaxial Advantages
- highly resistance to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
- Highly resistance to physical damage
Coaxial Disadvantages
- Inflexible or difficult to install
- Expensive
Benefits of Twisted Cables :
- reduce Electromagnetic Interference ( EMI )
- reduce Crosstalk
- utilize 4-Pairs
UTP has a maximum distance of:
4-pairs
100 meters or 325 ft
Ethernet uses what type of connectors:
RJ-45
UTP’s have 2 terminating standards which are:
- TIA/EIA 568-A
- TIA/EIA 568-B
