1. Which organization defines the two different patterns, or wiring schemes, called T568A and T568B?
- TIA/EIA
- TCP/IP
- IEEE
- IETF
Explanation: The TIA/EIA organization defines two different patterns, or wiring schemes, called T568A and T568B. Each wiring scheme defines the pinout, or order of wire connections, on the end of the cable.
2. Directly connecting like-devices, such as two computers, requires what type of UTP Ethernet cable?
- crossover
- straight-through
- STP
- CAT 3
Explanation: Devices that are directly connected and use the same pins for transmit and receive require the use of a crossover cable in order to reverse the transmit function and receive function so that the devices can exchange data.
3. Connecting a unlike-devices, such as a computers to an Ethernet switch, requires what type of UTP Ethernet cable?
- crossover
- straight-through
- STP
- CAT 3
Explanation: Devices that use different wires for transmit and receive require a straight-through cable to exchange data. Straight-through cables have the same color patterns on both ends of the cable.
