Which fiber connector contains two strands of fiber in each ferrule? ST LC SC MT-RJ

MT-RJ The MT-RJ connector is unique from SC, ST, and LC connectors in that it contains two strands of fiber in a single ferrule; with two strands per ferrule, a single MT-RJ connector provides full-duplex signaling.

What type of fiber-cable problem is caused when pairing a 50-micron core cable with a 62.5-micron core cable? Wavelength mismatch TX/RX reverse Dirty connectors Fiber type mismatch

Fiber type mismatch Same-mode cables can be mismatched if the cores have different widths; a cable with a 50-micron core should not be connected to a cable with a 62.5-micron core, even though they're both MMF, as this results in a fiber type mismatch. Signal loss and other errors can be caused by dirty connectors. A wavelength mismatch occurs when transmissions are optimized for one type of cable but sent over a different type of cable. A TX/RX (transmission/receive) reverse occurs when the TX and RX wires are crossed in a twisted-pair cable.

Which transmission characteristic is never fully achieved? Bit rate Bandwidth Latency Throughput

Bandwidth Bandwidth refers to the amount of data you could theoretically transmit during a given period of time but is never fully achieved. Latency describes the brief delay that takes place between the instant when data leaves the source and when it arrives at its destination. Throughput refers to the number of data bits (0s and 1s) that are actually received across a connection each second. Throughput is also called bit rate.

Which of these categories of twisted-pair cable can support Gigabit Ethernet? Cat 5e, Cat 6a, Cat 7 Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 3 Cat 6, Cat 7a, Cat 5 Cat 5, Cat 6, Cat 7

Cat 5e, Cat 6a, Cat 7 Cat 5e is the minimum category of twisted-pair cable that supports Gigabit Ethernet. Cat 6a and Cat 7 also support Gigabit speeds or higher.

Suppose you're creating patch cables to be used in a government office. What color wire goes in the first pin? Brown White/orange Blue White/green

White/green The federal government requires T568A on all federal contracts for backward-compatibility. Pin 1 in the T568A pinout takes the white and green striped wire.

What is the earliest twisted-pair cabling standard that meets the minimum requirements for 10GBASE-T transmissions at 100 meters? Cat 6a Cat 5e Cat 6 Cat 7

Cat 6a While Cat 6 cable can support 10 Gbps speeds at shorter distances, Cat 6a is the first category of cable rated for 10 Gbps at 100 meters.

Which kind of crosstalk occurs between wire pairs near the source of the signal? FEXT Alien TX/RX reverse NEXT

NEXT NEXT (near end crosstalk) occurs between wire pairs near the source of a signal. Alien crosstalk occurs between two cables. FEXT (far end crosstalk) is measured at the far end of the cable from the signal source. A TX/RX (transmission/receive) reverse occurs when the TX and RX wires are crossed.

Which cable is best suited for ultra-high-speed connections between a router and a switch on the same rack? RG-6 coaxial cable Cat 6 twisted-pair cable Cat 5e twisted-pair cable Passive twinaxial cable

Passive twinaxial cable Twinax an inexpensive option for short, high-speed connections, such as when connecting switches to routers or servers in a data center; passive twinax is sufficient for the shortest distances of less than about 5 or 7 meters. RG-6 coaxial cables is used to deliver broadband cable Internet service and cable TV, particularly in the last stretch to the consumer's location. Cat 5e and Cat 6 twisted-pair cable have more limited available throughput than twinax.

Which kind of multiplexing assigns slots to nodes according to priority and need? STDM (statistical time division multiplexing) CWDM (coarse wavelength division multiplexing) WDM (wavelength division multiplexing) TDM (time division multiplexing)

STDM (statistical time division multiplexing) STDM (statistical time division multiplexing) assigns time slots to nodes (similar to TDM) but then adjusts these slots according to priority and need. TDM (time division multiplexing) divides a channel into multiple intervals of time, or time slots. WDM (wavelength division multiplexing) carries multiple light signals simultaneously by dividing a light beam into different wavelengths, or colors, on a single fiber. CWDM (coarse wavelength division multiplexing) lowers cost by spacing frequency bands wider apart to allow for cheaper transceiver equipment.

Which part of a toner and probe kit emits an audible tone when it detects electrical activity on a wire pair? Tone locator Toner TDR Tone generator

Tone locator A tone locator, or probe, emits an audible tone when it detects electrical activity on a wire. A tone generator, or toner, issues a signal on a wire that is then detected by the tone locator. A TDR (time domain reflectometer) issues a signal on a cable and then measures the way the signal bounces back (or reflects) to the TDR.
