relatively larger core with multiple light paths

less expensive than multimode

generally uses lasers as the light source



5

Which method of signal transmission uses radio waves to carry signals?

electrical

optical

wireless

acoustic



6

Which characteristics describe fiber optic cable? (Choose two.)

It is not affected by EMI or RFI.

Each pair of cables is wrapped in metallic foil.

It combines the technique of cancellation, shielding and twisting to protect data.

It has a maximum speed of 100 Mbps.

It is the most expensive type of LAN cabling.



7

When is a straight-through cable used in a network?

when connecting a router through the console port

when connecting one switch to another switch

when connecting a host to a switch

when connecting a router to another router



8

Which OSI layer is responsible for binary transmission, cable specification, and physical aspects of network communication?

Presentation

Transport

Data Link

Physical



9

In most business LANs, which connector is used with twisted-pair networking cable?

BNC

RJ-11

RJ-45

Type F



10

What encoding scheme does 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet use?

Manchester

Differential Manchester

4B/5B

5B/6B



11

An installed fiber run can be checked for faults, integrity, and the performance of the media by using what device?

light injector

OTDR

TDR

multimeter



12

In which of the following situations would a crossover cable be used? (Choose two.)

switch to router

switch to PC

router to PC

switch to hub

13

Which OSI layer is responsible for binary transmission, cable specification, and physical aspects of network communication?

Presentation

Transport

Data Link

Physical

14

What is a possible effect of improperly applying a connector to a network cable?

Data will be forwarded to the wrong node.

Data transmitted through that cable may experience signal loss.

An improper signaling method will be implemented for data transmitted on that cable.

The encoding method for data sent on that cable will change to compensate for the improper connection.
