• 586B

Your boss wants you to connect two of his laptops directly to each other using their network adapters. What kind of cable should you use? 

• Rolled cable

• Crossover cable

• Straight through cable

• Patch cable

You are making a specialized wired connection for a server that will operate on an Ethernet network. Which two wiring colors should you use?

• Orange and green

• Orange and blue

• Orange and brown

The IT director has asked you to connect three new super computers to the backbone of a network that runs at 1 Gbps. The pressure is on! What type of cable will be sufficient for this task?

• Category 3

• Category 5

• Category 5e

• Category 10a

Your network contains many fiber optic connections. Which one of the following does not belong in your fiber network?

• FC connector

• ST connector

• TOSLINK

• 8P8C

What is the maximum distance that twisted-pair cables can transmit signals before experiencing attenuation?

• 50 meters

• 100 meters

• 200 meters

• 500 meters

What is the definition of attenuation in the context of signal transmission through cables?

• The strengthening of an electrical signal

• The distance a signal can travel without disruption

• The reduction in received data compared to what was transmitted

• The time it takes for a signal to reach its destination

Which of the following can be used to extend the range of a cable network when it needs to go beyond 100 meters?

• Adding more cables

• Using fiber optic cables

• Increasing the electrical signal strength

• Installing thicker cables

Twisted-pair cables are categorized based on:

• Color

• Their material composition

• Signal transmission frequency and data transfer rate

• Length

What is interference in the context of network cables, and how can it impact data transmission?

• The speed of data transmission

• The loss of data during transmission

• The type of cable used

• The number of devices on the network
