|
|
Term

|
|

|
Definition
|
|
Term

|
Definition
|
|
Term
| 10BaseT networks use a physical ___ topology. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Fast Ethernet (also known as ___) is a network design that provides greater speeds than 10BaseT. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| ___ transmits network data up to 100Mbps, the speeds at which most LANs operate today. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| 100BaseTX is most often implemented with ___ cable, but it can use ___. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| 100BaseTX uses Category __ UTP cable. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Both ___ and ___ use independent transmit and receive paths to support full-duplex communication. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Repeaters are sometimes needed to connect segments that use ___ or ___. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| ___ is the IEEE standard for running Fast Ethernet over fiber-optic cable. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Because fiber is expensive, ___ is largely limited to use as a network backbone. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| The maximum segment length for ___ is 412 meters with half-duplex multimode fiber and 10,000 meters for full-duplex single-mode fiber. |
