1. What does UTP stand for?

Explanation

UTP stands for unshielded twisted pair. This is a type of cable commonly used for Ethernet connections. It consists of multiple pairs of twisted copper wires, which helps to reduce electromagnetic interference. The term "unshielded" indicates that the cable does not have any additional shielding to protect against interference. The term "twisted pair" refers to the way the wires are twisted together, which further helps to minimize interference. Overall, UTP is a cost-effective and widely used cable for networking purposes.

The 2.4GHz frequency offers good range and can penetrate walls and obstacles relatively well. It is also a widely supported frequency by various devices, making it a popular choice for WiFi networks.

Submit
9. How fast is 10baseT?

Explanation

10baseT refers to a type of Ethernet network standard that uses twisted pair cables. It has a maximum data transfer rate of 10Mbps, which means it can transmit data at a speed of 10 megabits per second. This is a relatively slower speed compared to other Ethernet standards like 100baseT or 1000baseT, which provide higher data transfer rates of 100Mbps and 1000Mbps respectively. Therefore, the correct answer is 10Mbps.

Submit
10. What does MMF stand for?

Explanation

In networking, MMF stands for Multimode Fiber. Multimode fiber is a type of optical fiber primarily used for transmitting data over shorter distances. It has a larger core diameter compared to single-mode fiber, allowing multiple modes (or paths) of light to propagate through the fiber. This makes it suitable for applications such as local area networks (LANs) and data center interconnects.

Multimode fiber is commonly used because it is more cost-effective for shorter distance applications and supports higher data rates compared to copper cables.

Submit
27. What surrounds the 4 pairs of twisted copper wires in a Cat5e STP patch cable?

Explanation

wisted pair cables are often shielded in attempt to prevent electromagnetic interference. Because the shielding is made of metal, it may also serve as a ground. However, usually a shielded or a screened twisted pair cable has a special grounding wire added called a drain wire. This shielding can be applied to individual pairs, or to the collection of pairs. When shielding is applied to the collection of pairs, this is referred to as screening. The shielding must be grounded for the shielding to work.
