use multipair UTP cables for backbone connections with _running_____used in the
telecom closet for connections to horizontal cables running to the desktop.
-Gigabet Ethernet - -TIA Cat 5e or "enhanced Cat 5' cable or ISO/IEC Class D cable was
introduced to support the needs of what the computer network?
-100 MHz - -For certifying Cat 5e/Class D Performance, installed cables are tested at

certification to _______MHz.
-All of these - -A copper time domain reflectometer (TDR) can be used to
find_________.

Cat5e/6 or Class D/E UTP cabling, what must be remembered to maintain the
performance of the installed cable?
-Bix block - -Which punchdown block is more often used with multipair cables for
POTS (plain old telephone service) connections?
, -True - -Standards are written by manufacturers as minimum specifications to ensure
interoperability among various manufacturer's products.

UTP in a structured cabling system or fiber optics also.
-False - -Gigabit and faster networks only work fiber optics.
-False - -Fiber optic installations do not require inspection for compliance to local
building or electrical codes since they do not contain copper wires.
-True - -The US National Electrical Code (NEC) requires removal of all "abandoned"
communications cabling for fire safety.
-True - -The international standards include a Class F cable for highest performance
networks that some manufacturers sell in the US as Category 7, but it is not currently a
US standard.
