Progression: Field Tech IV - V
Conventional latest update
Which of the following is most typical of a broadband network? - answer Multiple
analog channels
What components are common to all computer systems? (Check all that apply.) -
answer Processor
Memory
Storage
I/O
What does I/O stand for? - answer Input / Output
A NIC is a device used for: - answer Signaling
A sound card is what general type of computer component? - answer Input/output
Which of the following is managed by the OS? - answer Keyboard input
Screen display
File I/O
Peripheral control
The primary purpose of a device driver is to control hardware under the supervision of
the OS. True or False? - answer True
Which of the following network topologies forms a closed loop? - answer Ring topology
Which of the following network topologies connects devices to a shared straight-line
cable? - answer Bus topology
M1L5 When is UTP cable preferred over STP? - answer When there is little electrical
interference
, Which connector type is used with Thinnet coaxial cable? - answer BNC
Which of the following cable types uses a T-connector to connect each NIC to the
cable? - answer Thinnet
Which of the following cable types can transmit data farthest? - answer Fiber optic
How are bits represented on fiber optic cable? - answer Pulses (on/off) of light
Which of the following are the two primary types of light sources in fiber optic cables? -
answer Laser diode and LED
What is the main advantage of star topology? - answer Ease of management
Which of the following would not be used in a typical star topology? - answer Thinnet
How many wire pairs can be terminated on a 66 block? - answer 25 or 50
What makes a crossover cable different from a patch cord? - answer A crossover cable
uses the 568A pattern on one jack, and the 568B pattern on the other. A patch cord
uses the same pinout pattern on both jacks.
What is the key reason that smart LAN administrators demand well-made cable
connections? - answer Bad cable connections degrade a network's performance.
What is the main advantage of using balanced signaling on a serial cable? - answer
The cable can be longer because balanced signaling is less vulnerable to interference.
What term describes the number of wave crests that pass a fixed point during a
particular period of time? - answer Frequency
In data networking, this term is defined as "Signals may flow in either direction, but not
simultaneously". - answer Half-duplex
Two CPUs have the same size data bus. Which one will process data faster? - answer
The one with a higher clock speed
This unique ID number is coordinated by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers and is used by only one network interface card anywhere in the world. -
answer Media access control address (MAC)
Which is a network management and utility software that is typically used by network
administrators and information systems personnel when the network is unused or lightly
used, often in the middle of the night? - answer Backup and recovery utilities
Which of the following is also called "Thicknet" or "yellow wire" and includes two layers
of foil shielding as well as an additional copper mesh shield? - answer 10Base5 cable
