ACCURATE REVIEW
●● bend radius
Answer: the minimum radius you can bend a cable before damaging it
and causing distortion of the electrical signal, resulting in cross talk or
noise.
●● cable crimper
Answer: a tool used to attach the RJ-45 connector to the bulk
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Ethernet cable.
●● Cable tester
Answer: tool used to test whether an assembled cable will conduct
electricity. with a network cable tester, the sequence of flashing lights
determines the cable type and functionality.
●● Category 6 (CAT6)
Answer: a type of ethernet twisted-pair cable. the different categories
achieve different speed because of the number of twists in the wire.
●● coaxial cable (coax)
, Answer: cable used for TV and Ethernet networks, consisting of an
insulated tube that a central conductor runs through. Used in Thinnet,
thickness and legacy networks.
●● Cross talk
Answer: interference in a network, such as telephone, radio or ethernet
networks, that is caused by electromagnetic interference. This can occur
when cables are run near electrical devices.
●● crossover cables
Answer: a type of twisted-pair cabling used to connect one computer to
another. It is used for direct file transfers. Crossover cables can connect
any similar devices, such as computer to computer, hub to hub, etc.
●● EIA/TIA 568-A and 568-B
Answer: The Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) and
Telecommunication Industry Association (TIA) standards for connecting
UTP cable. 568-B is considered the industry standard.
●● Electromagnetic interference (EMI)
Answer: The static noise that is produced by electromagnetic signals that
can interfere with other electromagnetic signals and render them
unintelligible. In Ethernet networks, placing cable beside other electrical
devices can cause EMI. This leads to dropped packets, resulting in
slower networks because lost data must be re-sent.
