interference. The new building is approximately 800 meters away from the existing
network. Which cable type should the administrator choose?
Category 5 STP
Category 6 UTP
coaxial
fiber optic
 
Which three factors are reasons to choose a client/server model for a network instead of
peer-to-peer? (Choose three.)
The network is small with less than eight users.
The company network requires secure access to confidential information.
The users need a central database to store inventory and sales information.
Each user understands how to safely share files across a network.
The data gathered by the employees is critical and should be backed up on a
regular basis.
All employees passed a strict background check as part of the corporate hiring
practices.

A company has a remote branch office that has no access to any high-speed WAN or
broadband services. The network administrator is considering Power Line
Communication (PLC) to connect the branch office to the main office. What are two
advantages of PLC? (Choose two.)
It is less expensive than using an analog PSTN modem.
It can provide dedicated connections with speeds that exceed most LAN
technologies.
It can provide bandwidth in excess of the bandwidth that is provided by
analog PSTN modems.
It provides a more secure network connection through the use of encryption
technologies.
It can carry both voice and data signals across power lines.
 
What is the maximum range a data signal can travel through a 1000BASE-T network
segment?
3280 ft (1000 m)
1640 ft (500 m)
984 ft (300 m)
607 ft (185 m)
328 ft (100 m)

Which topology has only one central point of failure, is easy to troubleshoot, and is most
commonly implemented in newer networks?
bus
mesh
ring
star
 
Which term describes the process of adding headers to data as it moves through the
layers of the OSI model?
demultiplexing
encapsulation
encoding
encryption
segmentation
 
Which technique is used to ensure that data from one computer does not collide with
data from any other computer in a CSMA/CD network?
Computers receive a token that allows them to send a message. They then pass the
token to the next computer.
Computers listen to the network for clearance to send data.
Each computer that is connected to the network transmits data on a different
frequency.
Each time slot on the network is allocated to a different computer. A computer can
only transmit in the allocated time slots.
 
Which device enables computers to be attached to a network without segmenting the
network?
bridge
hub
router
switch
