Ethernet Standards Flashcards
What are the two different types of a copper cable?
Twisted pair and coaxial (coax)
Does a copper cable keep its signal over a long distance, TRUE or FALSE?
FALSE
Does a fiber optic cable support higher bandwidth over longer links than a copper cable, TRUE or FALSE?
TRUE
What is fiber optic cabling divided into?
SMF - Single Mode
MMF - MultiMode
What is the most important institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)?
802.3 Ethernet Standards
How xBASE-y works
10BASE-T
- 10 describing 10Mbps
- BASE because its using a baseband signal
- T because it runs over a Twisted pair copper cabling
What is MAC (Media Access Control)?
Methods a network technology uses to determine when nodes can communicate on shared media and to deal with possible problems.
When a network node connects to the same media is it in the same collision domain? True or False.
True
What is the Ethernet protocol governing contention and media access called?
Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD)
True or False, collision detection mechanism means that only half-duplex transmission is possible?
True
