Exam 4: Connecting Through a Cabled Network

Driver ____________________ means that a digital signature is placed in the driver.

The ____ version of Fast Ethernet transmits signals in a timed-delay manner, timing the signals to avoid collisions.

The MAC controller formats frames at the MAC sublayer of the OSI Data Link layer.

Identify five services that can be delivered by a full HFC (hybrid fiber/coax)system.

Attenuation, or power loss, in fiber-optic cable is measured in ____.

Besides fast transmission, what are two important benefits of demand priority?

Fiber-optic cable is capable of handling high-speed network transmissions from 100 Mbps to ____.

How do the wavelengths of visible and infrared light relate to the quality of light transmission signals?

______________________________ cable consists of pairs of insulated solid wire surrounded by a braided or corrugated shielding.

____ uses a local bus design that enables the use of separate buses for network interfaces and for disk storage.

Provide a description of a thick coax cable.

A(n)____ is a device that can transmit and receive, such as transmitting and receiving signals on a communications cable.

____ cable is the most frequently used network cable because it is relatively inexpensive and easy to install.

The size of a fiber-optic cable is measured in ____.

Why is uniform twisted-pair cable (UTP)generally preferred over shielded twisted-pair cable (STP)?

For effective RFI and EMI reduction in shielded twisted pair cables, the interval of twists or lay length in each pair should be different.

10 Gigabit Ethernet operates at ____, meaning that two-way transmissions may occur simultaneously.

The 100BaseX segment limitations for twisted pair are the same as for 10BaseT.

Identify and describe the two varieties of multimode cable.
