Q

Data Flow of Bus Topology

A

Data from each computer went out on the whole bus and needed terminations at each end to prevent reflection of signal causing network loss

Q

Data Flow of Ring Topology

A

Data moved in a circle from one computer to the next in the same direction and required no termination.

18
Q

RG-59 Coaxial Cable

A

Used primarily for cable tv, rated at 75 OhMs and had F type connector

19
Q

RG-6 Coaxial Cable

A

Much thinner style coax that is mainly used today, rated at 75 Ohms and uses F type connector

20
Q

RG

A

Radio Guide Rating that measure OhM

21
Q

RG-58

A

Used primarily for Television rated at 50 OhMs and had BNC Connector

22
Q

Twisted Pair Cable

A

Consists of twisted pairs of cables bundled together into a common jacket.

23
Q

2 Types of twisted pair cables

A

Shielded and Unshielded

24
Q

STP

A

Shielded twisted pair cable consists of twisted wires surrounded by shielding to protect from EMI.

25
Q

UTP

A

Unshielded Twisted pair cable consists of twisted pairs of wires surrounded by plastic jacket. UTP offers no protection from surrounding EMI.

26
Q

Cat3

A

16MHz, 16Mbps

27
Q

Cat5

A

100 MHz 100Mbps

28
Q

Cat5e

A

100 MHz, 1 Gbps

29
Q

Cat6

A

250 MHz, 10 Gbps

30
Q

Cat6a

A

500 MHz, 10 Gbps

31
Q

Cat7

A

600 MHz, 10+ Gbps

32
Q

RJ-11 Connector

A

Use by landline telephones and had 8 Positions and 8 Contact connectors.

33
Q

RJ-45 Connector

A

UTP connection for standard networking used today

34
Q

Most Common Fiber Optic Cable Size

A

62,5/125 Micro um

35
Q

MMF

A

Multimode Fiber, uses LED’s

36
Q

SMF

A

Single Mode Fiber, Uses lasers

37
Q

Modal Distortion

A

Affects only Multimode Fiber, signals sent at the same time don’t arrive at the same time because the paths differ slightly in length.

38
Q

Transmit wavelength of MMF

A

850-nm

39
Q

Transmit wavelength of SMF

A

1310 nm or 1550nm depending on laser

40
Q

4 Types of Fiber Connectors

A

ST, SC, LC and MT-RJ

41
Q

Serial Cables

A

Used in early networking for point to point connections, had speeds up to 56,000 bps and used DB-9, 9 pin connector

42
Q

Parallel Cables

A

Used in early networking for point to point connections, had speeds up to 2 Mbps and used 25 pin female DB-25 Connector

43
Q

PVC Rated Cable

A

Has no protection from Fire and will create lots of smoke and fumes

44
Q

Plenum Rated Cable

A

Create much less smoke and fumes than PVC cabling but costs a lot more
