Network Cable Management & Labeling Practices

1. What is the standard impedance for Cat6 Ethernet cables?

50 ohms

75 ohms

100 ohms

120 ohms

2. Which cable management practice is essential for maintaining network performance and supporting future growth?

Minimizing documentation

Using the same cable type for all connections

Regular audits and organized records of all installations

Avoiding changes to the existing infrastructure

3. What should be included in a network cable label at minimum?

Just the cable number

Source and destination identifiers

Installation date and technician name

Equipment serial numbers only

4. Which of the following best prevents cable damage during installation?

Pulling cables at high tension

Using proper pulling tension and avoiding sharp bends

Routing cables through tight conduits

Bundling all cables with tight cable ties

5. What is the typical maximum cable run length in horizontal cabling systems?

50 meters

75 meters

90 meters

120 meters

6. Which wiring scheme should be used consistently throughout a network installation?

Either 568A or 568B, but consistently applied

Mix both schemes for flexibility

Use 568A only for all connections

The scheme doesn't matter as long as cables work

7. What is the purpose of a cable tray in network infrastructure?

To store spare equipment

To support and organize cables while allowing for airflow

To increase network security

To reduce electromagnetic emissions

8. Which type of cable is used for backbone connections between network closets?

Cat5e twisted pair

Multimode fiber or single-mode fiber

Coaxial cable

Serial cables

9. What is the main advantage of using structured cabling systems?

Reduced equipment lifespan

Scalability, flexibility, and ease of management

Increased power consumption

Lower network security standards

10. Which documentation should be maintained for network cable installations?

Cable inventory, termination records, and as-built diagrams only

Complete inventory, termination records, locations, and testing results

Just a simple list of cable types

No documentation is necessary

11. What is the primary purpose of implementing a cable labeling system in a network infrastructure?

To reduce equipment costs

To enable quick identification and troubleshooting of network connections

To make the server room aesthetically pleasing

To comply with marketing standards

12. Which of the following is NOT a recommended practice for cable management?

Using cable ties and velcro straps for organization

Keeping cables away from power lines

Coiling excess cable tightly near the connection point

Labeling both ends of each cable

13. What is the maximum number of patch cords that should be connected to a single patch panel port?

One

Two

Three

Five

14. Which color-coding standard is used for Cat5e and Cat6 Ethernet cables?

Red, blue, green, yellow, orange, white

White-orange, orange, white-green, blue, white-blue, green, white-brown, brown

Black, red, yellow, green, white

Single color with numbered bands

15. What does proper cable management help prevent in network infrastructure?

Electromagnetic interference and signal loss

Increased bandwidth capacity

Faster data transmission speeds

Higher network security

16. Which device is used to test and verify proper cable termination in network installations?

Network analyzer

Cable tester or continuity tester

Oscilloscope

Spectrum analyzer

17. What is the minimum bend radius for Cat6 cables to prevent signal degradation?

One inch

Four times the cable diameter

Six inches

One foot

18. Which labeling standard is most commonly used for network patch panels in enterprise environments?

ISO/IEC 11572

TIA/EIA 568A and 568B

IEEE 802.3 labeling scheme

ISO 9001 documentation standards

19. What is the recommended maximum distance for a Cat6 Ethernet cable in a structured cabling system?
