BICSI Level 1 installer Training
backward compatible - correct answer-The ability of a system, software, or standard
to share data, commands, and applications with previous versions of the same
product or standard.
bend radius - correct 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 - correct answer-a tool used to attach the RJ-45 connector to the bulk
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Ethernet cable.
Cable tester - correct 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) - correct 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) - correct 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 - correct 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 - correct 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 - correct 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) - correct 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.
