| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Capacitor | A device that stores an electric charge. |
| MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) | A document that provides information related to potential hazards and safety precautions within an organization |
| Grounding prong | The middle prong of a computer plug is |
| CRT (cathode ray tube) monitor | A device that can store large amounts of electricity, even when unplugged |
| ESD (Electrostatic discharge | Flow of electricity from one electrically charged object to another |
| Sag | Power condition of over-voltage that lasts seconds |
| Surge protector | Power condition of under-voltage that lasts milliseconds |
| Line conditioner | A device that protects against over-voltages by switching a device off before an over-voltage can damage it |
| Brownout | Drop in voltage due to the large number of computer being run at the same time |
| Denatured isopropyl alcohol | Tool used to clean metal contacts (like those found on expansion cards). |
| Temperature | Factor that lets a computer equipment to age and degrade faster due to not having proper fans or air conditioning systems. |
| Backout plan | A plan that specifies how you will return affected systems to their original states if your implementation fails |
| Positive pressure systems | Pressure systems that protect the air quality in the facility by causing air to be forced out through doors, windows, and other openings. |
| Negative pressure systems | Pressure systems that draw air in, potentially bringing in airborne particles such as dust or smoke. |
| EMI and RFI | Two types of interference that affect computer networks |

| Punch down tool | A punch down tool is used to secure cable wiring to a punch-down block or a patch panel. |
| Multimeter | A device that tests various electrical properties such as AC and DC voltage, current (amps), resistance (ohms), capacitance |
| Cable tester | A tool that verifies that a network can carry a signal from one end to the other and that all wires within the connector are in the correct positions. |
| Loopback plug | A tool used to test network communications by redirecting a signal from the transmit port on a device to the receive port on the same device. |
