Answer 1

Twisted pair and coaxial (coax)

Question 2

Does a copper cable keep its signal over a long distance, TRUE or FALSE?

Answer 2

FALSE

Question 3

Does a fiber optic cable support higher bandwidth over longer links than a copper cable, TRUE or FALSE?

Answer 3

TRUE

Question 4

What is fiber optic cabling divided into?

Answer 4

SMF - Single Mode

MMF - MultiMode

Question 5

What is the most important institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)?

Answer 5

802.3 Ethernet Standards

Question 6

How xBASE-y works

Answer 6

10BASE-T
- 10 describing 10Mbps
- BASE because its using a baseband signal
- T because it runs over a Twisted pair copper cabling

Question 7

What is MAC (Media Access Control)?

Answer 7

Methods a network technology uses to determine when nodes can communicate on shared media and to deal with possible problems.

Question 8

When a network node connects to the same media is it in the same collision domain? True or False.

Answer 8

True

Question 9

What is the Ethernet protocol governing contention and media access called?

Answer 9

Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD)

Question 10

True or False, collision detection mechanism means that only half-duplex transmission is possible?

Answer 10

True
