What is the difference between ADSL and SDSL? ADSL(Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) uses one upload speed from the consumer to an ISP and a faster downloads Speed. SDSL (Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line) Uses equal bandwiths in both directions.
Among satellite, cable Internet, and DSL, which technology experiences more latency? Satellite
When using DSL to connect to the Internet, the data transmission shares the cabling with what other technology? Regular Telephone
When using cable Internet, the data transmission shares the cabling with what other technology? Television
What is the name of the port used by an Ethernet cable? What is the name of the port used by a dial-up modem? Ethernet cable is RJ 45. Dial-up modem is RJ 11
If you want to upgrade your 100BaseT Ethernet network so that it will run about 10 times the current speed, what technology would you use? Gigabit Ethernet is currently replacing 100BaseT Ethernet as the choice for LAN technology
What is the maximum length of a cable on a 100BaseT network? 100 meters
What does the 100 in the name 100BaseT indicate? Transmission Speed 100mb/s
Which type of networking cable is more reliable, STP or UTP? Which is used on LANs? STP
Which is more expensive, UTP CAT6 cabling or STP CAT6 cabling? STP CAT6
When looking at a network cable that is not labeled, describe how you can tell if the cable is a straight-through cable or a crossover cable straight through is same pin out both ends. crossover has transmit and receive lines reversed
What technology is used when power is transmitted on a network cable? Power over ethernet (PoE)
Describe the difference between a hub and a switch. A hub is a multiport repeater of broadcast information (it receives on any port) to all ports
How is a wireless access point that is also a bridge more efficient in handling network traffic than a wireless access point that is not a bridge? A Bridge assist in handing network traffic and can direct known traffic to its destination.
What type of cable uses an F connector? Coaxial Cable
Why does a CAT6 cable have a plastic core? Which two types of cabling is recommended for Gigabit Ethernet? To keep the pairs of twisted wires separated which reduces crosstalk. CAT-5e and CAT6
How many wires does a CAT6 cable have? A CAT6e cable? A coaxial cable? Coaxial has 1
Which tool can you use to verify that a network port on a computer is good? loopback plug
After making a straight-through cable, which tool can you use to certify the cable? cable tester
Which tool can help you find a network cable in the walls of a building? toner probe

Which tool can help you find out which wall jack connects to which port on a switch in an electrical closet? Loopback plug
Name two places where you might find a keystone RJ45 jack in a building. In a patch panel in the network closet and in a RJ45 wall jack
List the number assigned each pair and the color of each pair used in twisted-pair networking cables. Pair 1 is blue; pair 2 is orange; pair 3 is green, and pair 4 is brown.

Of the two standards in Question 26, which standard is the most common? Which is required for all U.S. government installations? T568B, T568A
Using either of the two wiring standards, what are the colors of the two pairs used to send and/or receive data on a 100BaseT network? Green and Orange
How many pairs of wires are crossed in a crossover cable that will work on a 100BaseT network? 2 pair or 4 wires for 100BaseT. 4 pair or 8 wires for 1000BaseT gigabit ethernet, although not usually used.
To prevent crosstalk in a keystone Rj-45 jack, what's the maximum length of wire that should be untwisted? untwisted no longer than half inch
