03. Which characteristics describe fiber optic cable? (Choose two.)
- It is not affected by EMI or RFI.
- Each pair of cables is wrapped in metallic foil.
- It combines the technique of cancellation, shielding and twisting to protect data.
- It has a maximum speed of 100 Mbps.
- It is the most expensive type of LAN cabling.
04. When is a straight-through cable used in a network?
- when connecting a router through the console port
- when connecting one switch to another switch
- when connecting a host to a switch
- when connecting a router to another router
05. Refer to the exhibit. Which type of Category 5 cable is used to make an Ethernet connection between Host A and Host B?
- coax cable
- rollover cable
- crossover cable
- straight-through cable
06. Which method of signal transmission uses radio waves to carry signals?
- electrical
- optical
- wireless
- acoustic
07. In most business LANs, which connector is used with twisted-pair networking cable?
- BNC
- RJ-11
- RJ-45
- Type F
08. Which of the following is a characteristic of single-mode fiber-optic cable?
- generally uses LEDs as the light source
- relatively larger core with multiple light paths
- less expensive than multimode
- generally uses lasers as the light source
09. Which type of cable run is most often associated with fiber-optic cable?
- backbone cable
- horizontal cable
- patch cable
- work area cable
10. What are three measures of data transfer? (Choose three.)
- goodput
- frequency
- amplitude
- throughput
- crosstalk
- bandwidth
11. With the use of unshielded twisted-pair copper wire in a network, what causes crosstalk within the cable pairs?
- the magnetic field around the adjacent pairs of wire
- the use of braided wire to shield the adjacent wire pairs
- the reflection of the electrical wave back from the far end of the cable
- the collision caused by two nodes trying to use the media simultaneously
12. What is a primary role of the Physical layer in transmitting data on the network?
- create the signals that represent the bits in each frame on to the media
- provide physical addressing to the devices
- determine the path packets take through the network
- control data access to the media
13. In LAN installations where potential electrical hazards or electromagnetic interference may be present, what type of media is recommended for backbone cabling?
- coax
- fiber
- Cat5e UTP
- Cat6 UTP
- STP
14. What is a possible effect of improperly applying a connector to a network cable?
- Data will be forwarded to the wrong node.
- Data transmitted through that cable may experience signal loss.
- An improper signaling method will be implemented for data transmitted on that cable.
- The encoding method for data sent on that cable will change to compensate for the improper connection.
15. Which fiber connector supports full duplex Ethernet?
* (Third one is the correct one)
16. What is considered a benefit of wireless as a media choice?
- more host mobility
- lower security risks
- reduced susceptibility to interference
- less impact of the surroundings on the effective coverage area
17. What characteristic of UTP cable helps reduce the effects of interference?
- the metal braiding in the shielding
- the reflective cladding around core
- the twisting of the wires in the cable
- the insulating material in the outer jacket

And another new one:
A customer installs a wireless access point at home in the closet next to the kitchen. The customer mentions that the wireless communication performance seems degraded when the cordless phone or the microwave oven is in use. What is the possible reason for this degradation?
The access point is close to walls.
The cordless phone joins the WLAN and shares the available bandwidth.
The wireless signal is in the same radio frequency range as the household devices are in.
The access point is on the same electrical circuit as the phone base unit and microwave oven are.
The surge of electricity when a microwave oven is in use disrupts the operation of the access point.
