25 Questions

1.
This is

2. Has two wires that carry the data signals. One conductor carries a positive signal; one carries a negative signal. Made of 22 or 24 gauge copper wiring. PVC or plenum plastic insulation surrounds each wire. Two wires are twisted to reduce the effects of EMI and crosstalk.

3. Cable that has core made of plastic or glass. Core carries the signal, the cladding maintains the signal in the center of the core as the cable bends. The sheathing protects the cladding and the core.

4.
Twisted pair cable configuration used to connect to the network through a hub or switch.

5. Fiber optic transmission type that transfers data through the core using multiple light rays. The core diameter is around 50 to 100 microns. Cable lengths are limited in distance.

6.
This is

7. Twisted Pair straight-through standard that arranges wires from pins 1 to 8 in each connector in the following order:
GW, G.OW, B, BW, O, BrW, Br.

8. has a grounded outer copper shield around the bundle of twisted pairs or around each pair to provide protection against EMI.

9.
This is

10.
Is twisted onto the cable. Used to create cable and satellite TV connections. Used to connect a cable modem to a broadband cable connection.

11.
This is

12. Coaxial cable that is used for 10Base2 Ethernet networking (also called Thinnet). 50 ohms Resistance Rating.

13.
This is

14. Twisted pair straight-through standard that arranges wires from pins 1 to 8 in each connector in the following order:
OW, O, GW, B, BW, G, BrW, Br.

15.
This is

16.
Used with single and multi-mode cabling. Push on, pull off connector type that uses a locking tab to maintain connection. Each wire has a separate connector. Uses a ceramic ferrule to insure proper core alignment and prevent light ray deflection.

17.
This is

18.
Molded onto the cable. Used in 10Base2 Ethernet networks.

19.
This is

20.
Used with twisted pair cable. Has 4 connectors. Supports up to 2 pairs of wires. Uses a locking tab to keep connector secure in outlet. Used primarily for telephone wiring.

21.
This is

22.
Used with twisted pair cable. Has 8 connectors. Supports up to 4 pairs of wires. Uses a locking tab to keep connector secure in outlet. Used for Ethernet and some token ring connections.

23.
This is

24.
This is

25.
Used with single and multi-mode cabling. Composed of a plastic connector with a locking tab. Uses metal guide pins to ensure it is properly aligned. A single connector with one end holds both cables. Uses a ceramic ferrule to insure proper core alignment and prevent light ray deflection.
