Across
- 2. The earliest standard used primarily for voice transmissions; now considered obsolete.
- 3. A cable designed for 100 Mbps Ethernet networks, common in earlier data setups.
- 5. A cable wiring configuration used to connect dissimilar devices (e.g., a computer to a switch).
- 7. Twisted pair cable that includes extra shielding to protect against electromagnetic interference.
- 8. An enhanced version of Cat5 that reduces crosstalk and supports Gigabit Ethernet.
Down
- 1. A wiring configuration that directly connects similar devices (e.g., PC-to-PC) by “crossing over” the transmit and receive pairs.
- 2. Cable used for early Ethernet (10Base-T), supporting speeds up to 10 Mbps.
- 3. The newest standard, primarily used in data centers to support speeds of 25/40 Gbps.
- 4. A cable design where pairs of wires are twisted together to reduce electromagnetic interference.
- 6. A type of twisted pair cable without additional shielding, widely used for networking.
