RG-58 is 50ohm cable designed for use with 10base2 ethernet. RG-59 is for television signals,RG-6 is for Satellites and RG-8 is for 10Base5 ethernet.

Front 4

Which type of cable has either an ST or SC connector?

Back 4

ST and SC are two types of Fiber Optic cable connectors.

Front 5

in which type of network are all computers equal participants?

Back 5

A (Peer-To-Peer network) does not have any computers set aside to be servers;all are equal.

Front 6

Which physical topology connects all nodes to a hub?

Back 6

A (Star)consists of several nodes that all connect to a central hub.

Front 7

Which type of server dynamically assigns IP addresses to network nodes?

Back 7

A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server dynamically assigns IP addresses.

Front 8

Which type of internet connectivity does not require a telephone?

Back 8

Cable and two-way Satellite

Front 9

Which type of network uses a multistation access unit (MAU)?

Back 9

Token Ring networks connect all nodes with an MAU in the center. it is a physical star,although it is a logical ring.

Front 10

What is TCP/IP

Back 10

TCP/IP is the protocol used for the internet and most ethernet networks these days. It assigns eatch PC a unique IP address.

Front 11

Speed of Cat 2 Cable?

Back 11

Transmits data at speeds up to 4Mbps. It contains four twisted pair wires.

Front 12

Speed of Cat 3 Cable?

Back 12

Transmits data at speeds up to 10Mbps it contains four twisted pairs of wires with three twists per foot.

Front 13

Speed of Cat 4 Cable?

Back 13

Transmits speeds up to 16Mbps. It contains four twisted pairs of wires.

Front 14

Speed of Cat 5 Cable?

Back 14

Transmits data up to 100Mbps. It contains four twisted pairs of copper wire to give the most protection.

Front 15

Speed of Cat 5e Cable?

Back 15

Transmits data at speeds up to 1Gbps.It also contains four twisted pairs of copper wire,but they are physically seperated and contain more twists per foot than cat 5 to provide maximum interference protection.

Front 16

Speed of Cat 6 Cable?

Back 16

Transmits data at speed up to 2Gbps. It contains four twisted pairs of copper wire.

Front 17

Where is Twisted-Pair cable most often found?

Back 17

10/100BaseT Ethernet networks although other systems can use it.

Front 18

Whats the choice of cable for most LAN?

Back 18

Coaxial Cable

Front 19

Speed of Fiber Optic cable?

Back 19

From 100Mps up to 1Gbps

Front 20

Length of a 10Base2 Cable?

Back 20

Ethernet specification for thin coaxial cable, transmits signals at 10 Mbps (megabits per second) with a distance limit of 185 meters per segment.

Front 21

Distance of 10Base5 Cable?

Back 21

Ethernet specification for thick coaxial cable, transmits signals at 10 Mbps (megabits per second) with a distance limit of 500 meters per segment.

Front 22

Distance of a 10baseT Cable?

Back 22

Ethernet specification for unshielded twisted pair cable (category 3, 4, or 5), transmits signals at 10 Mbps (megabits per second) with a distance limit of 100 meters per segment.

Front 23

Distance of 100BaseT Cable?

Back 23

Ethernet specification for unshielded twisted pair cabling that is used to transmit data at 100 Mbps (megabits per second) with a distance limit of 100 meters per segment.

Front 24

Disadvantages of a peer-to-peer network?

Back 24

* Decentralized - No central repository for files and applications.
* Security - Does not provide the security available on a client/server network.

Front 25

Disadvantages of a client/server network?

Back 25

* Expense - Requires initial investment in dedicated server.
* Maintenance - Large networks will require a staff to ensure efficient operation.
* Dependence - When server goes down, operations will cease across the network.

Front 26

Whats a Client/Server Network?

Back 26

A Network that has one or more computers dedicated for use as a server. Typically has 10 or more Clients.

Front 27

What does a Repeater Do?

Back 27

Allow a cabling system to extend beyond its maximum allowed length by amplifying the network voltages so they travel farther.
