LATEST UPDATE
American Wire Gauge (AWG) --CORRECT ANSWER--A standard rating that
indicates the diameter of a wire, such as the conducting core of a coaxial cable
or the twisted pairs in a UTP cable.
Megahertz (MHz) --CORRECT ANSWER--one million hertz, especially as a
measure of the frequency of transmissions
Megabit (Mb) --CORRECT ANSWER--Approximately one million bits. Often
used as a measurement of data transfer throughput.
Bandwidth --CORRECT ANSWER--The amount of data that can be transmitted
over a network in a given amount of time.
Decibel (dB) --CORRECT ANSWER--A unit used to compare the loudness of
different sounds.
Crosstalk --CORRECT ANSWER--when data bleeds from one pair to another
in a cable
Page 1 of 24
,Alien Crosstalk (AXT) --CORRECT ANSWER--Unwanted signal coupling
from one permanent link to another
25-pair color code --CORRECT ANSWER--White - Blue, orange, green,
brown, slate
Red - Blue, orange, green, brown, slate
Black - Blue, orange, green, brown, slate
Yellow - Blue, orange, green, brown, slate
Violet - Blue, orange, green, brown, slate
Fiber color code --CORRECT ANSWER--Blue, Orange, Green, Brown, Slate,
White, Red, Black, Yellow, Violet, Rose, Aqua
NVP --CORRECT ANSWER--Nominal Velocity of Propagation
Insertion loss --CORRECT ANSWER--The difference in the amount of power
received before and after something is inserted into the circuit.
Resistance --CORRECT ANSWER--Resistance is expressed in Ohms, and is
the property of a conductor to resist the flow of electricity through it. V=IR
Inductance --CORRECT ANSWER--Is a property of an electromagnetic field
built around a conductor that opposes any change in the current flow in a circuit
Page 2 of 24
, Capacitance --CORRECT ANSWER--is a property of conductors that allows
storage of electric charges when potential differences exist between the
conductors.
Impedance (V) --CORRECT ANSWER--Total opposition of current flow
measured in Ohms
USOC --CORRECT ANSWER--Universal Service Order Code
Coaxial cable types --CORRECT ANSWER--Series-6 and Series-11
Coaxial connectors --CORRECT ANSWER--Series-6 uses BNC and F
connectors
Series-11 uses F and N connectors
Fiber connectors --CORRECT ANSWER--SC, ST, and SST(LC or
cladding --CORRECT ANSWER--The glass or plastic shield around the core of
a fiber-optic cable. Cladding reflects light back to the core in patterns that vary
depending on the transmission mode. This reflection allows fiber to bend
around corners without impairing the light-based signal.
