REVIEW
1. What type of network topology is used when five switches are used on a small LAN and each switch connects to multiple computers on a LAN?
A. A star bus topology or a hybrid topology
2. Place the following networking technologies in the order of their highest speed, from slowest to fastest: WiMAX, Dial-up networking, Cable Internet, Fast Ethernet, and 3G?
A. Dial-up networking, 3G, cable Internet, WiMAX, Fast Ethernet
3. What is the difference between ADSL and SDSL?
A. ADSL uses one upload speed from the consumer to an ISP and a faster download speed. SDSL uses equal bandwidths in both directions.
4. Among satellite, cable Internet, and DSL, which technology experiences more latency?
A. Satellite
5. When using DSL, to connect to the Internet, that data transmission shares the cabling with what other technology?
A. Regular telephone
6. When using cable Internet, that data transmission shares the cabling with what other technology?
A. Television
7. What is the name of the post used by an Ethernet cable? What is the name for the port used a Dial-up modem?
A. RJ-45, RJ-11
8. If you want to update your 100BaseT Ethernet network so that it will run about 10 times the current speed, what technology would you use?
A. Gigabit Ethernet or 1000BaseT
9. What is the maximum length of a cable on a 100BastT network?
A. 100 meters or 328 feet
10. What does the 100 in the name 100BaseT network?
A. The transmission speed of the network, which is 100 Mbps.
11. Which type of networking cable is more reliable, STP or UTP? Which is used on LAN?
A. STP is more reliable, UTP is used on LANs
12. Which is more expensive, UTP Cat-5e cabling or STP Cat-5e cabling?
A. STP CAT5e is more expensive because it is shielded
13. When looking at a network cable that is not labeled, describe how you
