What statement accurately describes what a cable bend radius determines? A cable bend radius defines the twist rate of the cable inside of the insulation. A cable bend radius is the radius of the maximum arc into which you can loop the cable without impairing data. A cable bend radius determines the total number of bends that can exist in an overall cable before data is impaired. A cable bend radius is the radius of the minimum arc into which you can loop the cable without impairing data.
A cable bend radius is the radius of the maximum arc into which you can loop the cable without impairing data.
What standard describes uniform, enterprise-wide cabling systems, regardless of who manufactures or sells the various parts used in the system? ISO 9001 IEEE 802.3 ITU 922 TIA/EIA-568
TIA/EIA-568
What statement regarding main distribution frame or main distribution facilities is accurate? The MDF is the centralized point of interconnection for an organization's LAN or WAN. The MDF and entrance facility are always in separate rooms. The MDF refers to the racks holding network equipment in an organization. The MDF provides intermediate connection between the IDF and end-user equipment on each floor.
The MDF is the centralized point of interconnection for an organization's LAN or WAN.
What does backbone cabling consist of? It is cabling that connects workstations to the closest data room and to switches housed in the room. Short length cables with connectors at both ends. The shielded cables that are used for high data transmission rates between an organization and an ISP. The cables or wireless links that provide interconnection between the entrance facility and MDF, and between the MDF and IDFs.
The cables or wireless links that provide interconnection between the entrance facility and MDF, and between the MDF and IDFs
Why should you not leave more than 1 inch of exposed cable before a twisted-pair termination? Exposing more cable than necessary can cause corrosion of the copper wire. The termination will fail over time due to oxidation. The cable will lose its conductive properties. The exposure of the cable can cause transmission interference between wires.
The exposure of the cable can cause transmission interference between wires.
A master service agreement (MSA) is a contract that defines the terms of future contracts between parties, such as payment terms or arbitration arrangements. True False
True

VoIP router VoIP LEC (local exchange carrier) VoIP PBX (private branch exchange) VoIP ATB (analog telephone branch)
VoIP PBX (private branch exchange)
What statement correctly identifies the purpose of a software patch? A software patch is a container for new software, and must be installed on relevant devices and incorporated with network resources. A software patch is a correction, improvement, or enhancement to software. A software patch involves the process of reverting to a previous version of software after attempting to upgrade it. A software patch is a major change to a software package that enhances the functionality and features of the software, while also correcting bugs and vulnerabilities.

What does a statement of work document do? It documents the intentions of two or more parties to enter into a binding agreement, or contract, and is sometimes used between an informal handshake and the legally binding signatures on contracts. It documents in detail the work that must be completed for a particular object, and includes specifics such as tasks, deliverables, standards, payment schedule, and work timeline. It is a contract that defines the terms of future contracts between parties, such as payment terms or arbitration arrangements. It is a legally binding contract or part of a contract that defines, in plain language and in measurable terms, the aspects of a service provided to a customer, such as the service provided by an ISP.

During termination of twisted pair cabling, what should be done to ensure minimal cross talk is introduced? Each pair should be stripped of insulation so that it doesn't get caught in the jack. No more than 1 inch of the cable should be exposed. No less than 1 inch of the cable should be exposed. Each pair should be twisted around another pair to reduce cross talk.
No more than 1 inch of the cable should be exposed.
In general, how much can a twisted-pair's cable be bent before data transmission may be impeded? No more than ten times the diameter of the cable. No more than four times the diameter of the cable. Twisted pair cable has a near infinite bend radius. No more than two times the diameter of the cable.
