You're adding new wires in your building for some new offices. The building has a false ceiling that holds the lights and provides an air path for heating and air conditioning. You'd like to run your Ethernet cables in this area. Which type of cable must you use?
No. You shouldn't use multi-mode patch cables with single-mode GBIC modules
You're building a new network for a small financial services startup company. Security is paramount, so each organization within the company will have its own network segment separated by a router. However, funds are limited, and you've been asked to keep costs to a minimum. You've acquired a used fiber optic switch, and you want to use it to create a fiber optic backbone that interconnects all of the routers. You've purchased several used single-mode GBIC modules on eBay that you'll install on each router to allow them to connect to the switch. Both the switch and the GBIC modules use MTRJ connectors. You connect each module to the switch with 1-meter multimode patch cables. Will this implementation work?
No. You should purchase patch cables that use MTRJ connectors

You've purchased several used 1-meter, multi-mode patch cables from Amazon. But when they arrived, you noticed that they use LC connectors. Fortunately, with some force, you found that you're able to get the LC connectors on the cables to lock into the MTRJ connectors on the GBIC modules and on the switch. Will this implementation work?
No. Cat 5e cabling has more twists per inch than Cat 3 cabling, reducing crosstalk and supporting higher data rates
You're installing network wiring for a new Ethernet network at your company's main office building. The project specifications call for Cat 5e UTP network cabling and RJ45 wall jacks. Near the end of the project, you run out of wire before the last few runs are complete. You have a spool of Cat 3 network cable in storage. Upon closer inspection, it appears very similar to the Cat 5e wiring. To finish the project, should you use the Cat 3 cabling as a substitute for the Cat 5e cabling?
