6.3 Practice Questions

What is a major benefit STP provides that UTP does not? Ability to install longer cable lengths Safer for installations in overhead ceiling spaces Greater resistance to interference Lower cost

Greater resistance to interference

Which of the following are advantages of using fiber optic cabling for a network, as opposed to other types of cabling? (Select TWO.) Lower installation cost Immunity to electromagnetic interference Faster installation Increased flexibility Greater cable distances without a repeater

Immunity to electromagnetic interference Greater cable distances without a repeater

A technician must press a cable connector's retaining tab to remove a faulty fiber optic network cable. Which of the following connectors does the cable use? ST LC RJ11 RJ45

LC

Which of the following are characteristics of coaxial network cable? (Select TWO.) It is made of plastic or glass in the center of the cable. It is totally immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI). It uses two concentric metallic conductors. It has a conductor made from copper in the center of the cable. The conductors within the cable are twisted around each other to eliminate crosstalk.

It uses two concentric metallic conductors. It has a conductor made from copper in the center of the cable.

A technician connects two network switches using a twisted pair cable. Neither switch supports auto-uplinking. Which of the following identifies the TIA wiring standard required on each end of the cable? One end must be T568A, and the other must be T568B. Both ends must only be T568B. Both ends must only be T568A.

One end must be T568A, and the other must be T568B.

You are installing networking cable in the air space between the ceiling and the roof of a building. Which type of cabling should you use? PVC Plenum STP Multi-mode fiber

Plenum

A technician is running a network above a dropped ceiling that is also used for ventilation. The cable must be twisted pair and must be capable of Gigabit Ethernet speeds. Which of the following cables should be used? Plenum-rated multimode fiber Riser-rated CAT-5e Riser-rated RG-58 Plenum-rated CAT-6a

Plenum-rated CAT-6a

A technician is installing a cable modem that supplies internet connectivity for a home office. Which of the following cabling types would be used to connect the cable modem to the cable wall outlet? Multimode fiber RG6 CAT 6a CAT 5e

RG6

Which kind of connector do you use to connect a modem to a standard telephone line? RJ45 RJ11 RG58 F-type

Rj11

Which connector is used with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable? DIX RJ45 BNC AUI

Rj45

You have recently been called to troubleshoot network connectivity problems at a user's workstation. You have found that the network cable runs across high-traffic areas on the floor, causing the cable to wear through and break. You have replaced the cable with a plenum-rated and shielded twisted pair cable. You would like to minimize the problem and prevent it from happening again. Which of the following will BEST protect the cable from further damage? Run the cable through the ceiling area instead of across the floor. Periodically check the cable for kinks and wear. Replace the cable when necessary. Run the cable under the carpet. Encase the cable in a protective shield and secure the cable to prevent it from slipping.

Run the cable through the ceiling area instead of across the floor.

A technician is replacing a cable modem. The cable from the cable company has an inner solid wire conductor and an outer mesh conductor separated by PVC plastic insulation. Which of the following network cable types is being used? Twisted pair cable Coaxial cable Fiber optic cable Straight-through cable

coaxial cable

You are using a crimper to attach an RJ45 connector to a Cat 6 UTP cable. You need to use the T568A standard to connect the individual wires to the connector. Which wire should be connected to pin 1? Orange with white Green Blue Green with white

green with white

Match the fiber optic cable types on the left with the appropriate characteristics on the right. Each cable type may be used once, more than once, or not at all. Data transfers through the core using more than one light rays. The core diameter is around 10 microns. Cable lengths can extend a great distance. Cable lengths are limited in distance.
