Across
- 3. (2 words) ______ specifies how cabling should be organized, regardless of the media type or network architecture.
- 5. This category supports mainly 10BaseT Ethernet and 16 Mbps token ring and is the first ANSI/TIA/EIA designation that labels cables as _____ (capable of carrying data) rather than voicegrade.
- 6. (2 words) An _____ is what you plug an RJ-45 connector into when the computer is in a work area away from hubs and switches.
- 8. (2 words) A patch cable (see Figure 4-4) is a short cable for connecting a computer to an RJ-45 jack or connecting a patch-panel port to a switch or hub.
- 12. (3 words) ______ comes in two types: unshielded and shielded (UTP and STP).
- 13. (2 words) _______ (or vertical cabling) interconnects IDFs and MDFs.
- 14. (2 words) The equipment room houses servers, routers, switches, and other major network equipment and serves as a connection point for backbone cabling running between IDFs.
- 15. (2 words)______(also called 19-inch racks because the upright rails are 19 inches apart) hold network equipment, such as routers and switches, plus patch panels and rack-mounted servers.
- 17. Applies to traditional UTP phone cabling, which is designed to carry voice but not data. This cabling is therefore labeled as _____.
- 18. (2 words) Whether STP or UTP, most twisted-pair cabling uses registered jack 45 ______ to plug into network interfaces or other networked devices.
- 19. (2 words) Cable plant is the term for all the cables and connectors tying a network together.
Down
- 1. (2 words) ________ runs from the work area’s wall jack to the telecommunications closet and is usually terminated at a patch panel. Acceptable
- 2. (2 words) ______ as the name suggests, is where workstations and other user devices are located—in short, the place where people work.
- 4. (2 words) _______ is the location of the cabling and equipment that connects an organization’s network to a third-party telecommunications provider.
- 7. (2 words) Interference to electrical signals on copper media comes in the form of _____(EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).
- 9. (2 words) A _____ is a length of cable between two network devices, such as a NIC and a switch.
- 10. (2 words) When figuring the total cost for media, you must include the cabling, connectors, termination panels, wall jacks, termination tools, testing equipment, and, of course, time.
- 11. (2 words) ______ are used to terminate long runs of cable from the work area (where computers are) to the wiring closet (where switches are).
- 14. Another factor determining bandwidth is how bit signals are represented on the medium, a process called _____.
- 16. Another type of interference in copper wires is a form of EMI called _____, which is interference one wire generates on another wire when both are in a bundle (as all cabling in LANs is).
