Identify the pin numbers that are used for transmit/receive in both the 568A and 568B standards. (Choose all that apply.) o 1 o 2 o 3 o 4 o 5 o 6 o 7 o 8

o 1 o 2 o 3 o 6

Explain the advantage(s) of the "easy connector type." (Choose all that apply.) o Cable can be crimped and clipped at the same time o The cables are in the correct position according to the standard o You can verify that you've done it correctly o Eliminates the need for a cable tester

o Cable can be crimped and clipped at the same time o The cables are in the correct position according to the standard o You can verify that you've done it correctly

After the front-office network at XYZ Corp. is set up, an accountant realizes that if the loading dock connected to the network, dock workers could log incoming and outgoing shipments and keep the inventory more current. Even though the loading dock is nowhere near the shop floor, the dock is 1100 feet from the front office. What kind of cable would you choose to make this connection? (Choose all that apply.) o UTP o RG-8 coaxial (Thickwire) o Fiber-optic o RG-58 A/U coaxial (Thinwire) o STP

o Fiber-optic Although a segment of 10Base5 would do the job, coaxial cable, particularly Thicknet, is long obsolete in most networking applications. UTP is inappropriate due to the high-noise environment. Likewise, STP cable is not immune to interference, and cable runs are limited to 100 meters. This means that you'd need 4 repeating devices to span the 1100 feet. The best, and only reasonable, choice for this situation is fiber-optic cable.

XYZ Corp. is planning a new network. Engineers in the design shop must have connections to accountants and salespeople in the front office, but all routes between the two areas must traverse the shop floor, where arc welders and metal-stamping equipment create potent amounts of EMI and RFI. Given that both the design shop and front office use 10BaseT (twisted-pair Ethernet), how might you interconnect these two areas? (Choose all that apply.) o RG-58 A/U coaxial (Thinwire) o STP cable o RG-8 coaxial (Thickwire) o Route cabling through metal conduit o Fiber-optic cable o UTP cable

o STP cable o Route cabling through metal conduit o Fiber-optic cable

Identify the tools that were used to create the patch cable. o UTP cabling o Cable tester o Cable stripper o Crimping tool o Type 110 punchdown tool o RJ-45 plugs

o UTP cabling o Cable tester o Cable stripper o Crimping tool o RJ-45 plugs
