BICSI Level 1 installer Training latest updated questions and
answers
backward compatible - 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 - 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.
