Across
- 2. The location in the cable plant where a connection to a WAN is made, it’s where an organization’s LAN equipment ends and a third-party’s cabling begins.
- 4. ____ Distribution Frame (IDF); A secondary telecommunications closet that houses the cabling and lines for work area computers.
- 5. ____ ____ Interference (RFI); Interference caused by strong broadcast sources that can disrupt network communications.
- 6. (TC); A room or enclosed space where networking equipment is housed to provide connectivity in a nearby work area.
- 7. A specification for organizing cabling in data and voice networks, regardless of the media type or network architecture.
- 11. A device used in the work area in wall plates and surface-mounted boxes to plug a patch cable that connects a computer to the horizontal wiring.
- 12. ___-___ Cable; A type of Ethernet cable used to connect different types of devices where the wire order is the same on both ends.
- 14. ____ Cable; A cable type that carries data over thin strands of glass by using optical (light) pulses to represent bits.
- 16. Network cabling that connects telecommunications closets to equipment rooms, facilitating connection between different floors, wings, or buildings of a LAN. Often uses fiber optic or twisted pair cabling.
- 18. Interference that one wire generates on another wire when both wires are in a bundle.
- 19. A short cable for connecting a computer to an RJ-45 jack or connecting a patch-panel port to a switch
- 20. Representing 0s and 1s as a physical signal, such as electrical voltage or a light pulse; the method used to represent bits on a medium.
Down
- 1. ____-____Cable (TP); A type of cable containing one or more pairs of twisted copper wires enclosed in an outer sheath.
- 3. _____ Interference (EMI); A disturbance to the operation of an electronic circuit or its data, caused by devices that emit an electromagnetic field
- 8. A type of patch cable can connect two similar devices to eachother by crossing the transmit and receive wires.
- 9. A connector used to terminate twisted- pair cable for making patch cables. It has eight wire traces to accommodate a standard twisted-pair cable with four wire pairs.
- 10. ____Wiring; The network cabling running from the work area’s wall jack to the telecommunications closet (IDF), usually terminated at a patch panel.
- 13. ____ Distribution Frame (MDF); The primary distribution frame that serves as the connecting point for backbone cabling and IDFs.
- 15. The collection of all cables and connectors tying a network together.
- 17. (Hz); A unit expressing how many times per second a signal or electromagnetic wave occurs.
