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.
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.
