What is a fiber distribution panel, and how is it used?

A fiber distribution panel (FDP) is a device on a rack that allows fiber optic cables to converge, connect to each other, and connect to fiber optic equipment that connects to a network's ISP (Internet service provider) - an FDP is used to join two separate segments of a network that are using different forms of fiber optic cables, such as SMF (single mode fiber) and MMF (multi mode fiber).

What is the hidden node problem, and how can it be mitigated?

A hidden node problem is a problem in which a node is physically too far away from another node such that the two nodes cannot collaborate on collision prevention, or a situation in which a node is physically too far away from an access point's coverage area such that it cannot check for collisions when sending transmissons to it. - this can be mitigated with RTS/CTS (request to send/clear to send). This is an exchange in which the source node specifically requests to exchange information with an access point and the access point responds with an acknowledgment and grants permission for the source node to communicate with it. During this time the access point will not listen for any other nodes on a network until the source node has finished communicating with it.

Noise can degrade or distort a signal on a network; what are some of its causes?

- EMI (electromagnetic interference): this is a form of noise caused by electrical appliances such as washing machines, microwaves, and motors, it primarily affects wired networks. - RFI (radio frequency interference): this is a form of EMI and noise caused by radio frequency transmissions such as radio broadcast waves of satellite TV signals, and it primarily affects wireless networks. - crosstalk: a form of noise in which the signal being sent along a wire or cable interferes with the signal being sent along an adjacent wire or cable. There are three different types of crosstalk: - alien crosstalk: occurs when two signals being sent on two different cables interferes with each other's own signals. - NEXT (near end crosstalk): a form of crosstalk that occurs near the source of the signal along a wire or cable. - FEXT (far end crosstalk): a form of crosstalk that occurs on the opposite side of the source of the signal along a wire or cable.

What is the difference between single mode fiber and multimode fiber, and how do they compare?

- Single mode fiber (SMF) is a fiber optic cable that has a more narrow core that sends only one pulse of light in one direction from the source to its destination. SMF provides the highest bandwidth of any transmission medium and is used on the backbone of the Internet due to how incredibly far SMF signals can be sent. However, it is extremely expensive to use and install SMF. - Multi mode fiber (MMF) is a fiber optic cable with a wider core that sends multiple pulses of light that travel in different directions from the source to its destination. MMF also provides excellent bandwidth, but because it sends multiple pulses of light it can only send signals over short distances, making it a good choice for connecting devices and networking equipment to network backbones. MMF is also much more affordable than SMF which makes it more commonly used.

Radiation patterns can be used to classify antennas into what two basic categories?

- unidirectional antennas: Antennas that broadcast a signal in one specific direction. - omni-directional antenna: An antenna that broadcasts a signal with equal strength and distance in all directions.

What are some of the different types of wireless topologies that can be created?

Ad hoc: a wireless topology in which nodes are connected to each in close proximity, face each other, and there is no connectivity device or access point used. Infrastructure: a wireless topology in which a connectivity device such as a wireless access point or access point provides network access and connectivity to the nodes in a network. Mesh: a wireless topology in which multiple wireless access points or access points are used together for fault tolerance and redundancy in a network and to grant nodes connectivity and network access.

When deciding antenna types, why might the use of an omnidirectional antenna be inadvisable?

An omni-directional antenna might be inadvisable if you want to be able to direct the Wi-Fi signal to a more specific area. Since an omni-directional antenna broadcasts a signal in every direction, some of the antenna's coverage area will not be of use to clients using the Wi-Fi network. For example, if you were to install an access point with an omni-directional antenna in a highly elevated location, much of the signal would be inaccessible by clients since some of the signal would be sent up into the ceiling or the sky. On the other hand, if you used a unidirectional antenna for the same installation, you could direct the antenna's signal such that your clients could utilize the maximum amount of signal from the antenna.

What is the biggest limiting factor on fiber-optic cable length?

The biggest limiting factor on fiber optic cable length is optical loss, which is the degredation of a light signal as it travels further away from the light source.
