1.1.2 Aim of Computer
Networks
Sharing resources in one workgroup :
Data file
Printer
Information sharing among distant
computers :
Electronic mail (email)
File transfer protocol (ftp)
Telnet
Communication medium :
Video conferencing
Instant messaging
Internet phone
Centralized system administration :
Server
Centralized backup
Internet access
1.1.3 Types of Network
Local Area Networks (LAN) :
A local area network (LAN) is a
computer network that interconnects
computers within a limited area such
as a home, school, computer
laboratory, or office building using
network media.
Metropolitan Area Networks (WAN) :
Metropolitan Area Networks (WAN) is a
computer network larger than a local
area network, covering an area of a
few city blocks to the area of an entire
city, possibly also including the
surrounding areas.

What Does Structured Cabling Look Like?
(To answer that I would use the word organization)
In a structured cabling system, a series of patch panels and trunks are used
to create a structure that allows for hardware ports to be connected to a patch
panel at the top of the rack. That patch panel is then connected to another patch
panel via a trunk (multi-fiber assembly designed for use in conveyance) in the
MDA (Main Distribution Area).The MDA is the key aspect of structured cabling.
This is where all the MACs (Moves, Adds, and Changes) can be made with short
length patch cords.
See below for some helpful diagrams.

1.2.5 Benefits of Structured Cabling?
With an organized structured cabling system the benefits are:

1.3.1 Basic Safety
a) Engineering Controls
Safety goggles,
Eye wear
Ear plugs and muffs
Respirators and dust masks
Protective gloves
Work boots
Hard hat
1.3.1 Basic Safety
c) Good Work Habit
Keep a clean workspace. Clean up at the end of your work day and
store tools properly. A rats nest can hide problems and add to
confusion.
Observe your surroundings.
Use tools for the job they were designed to perform.
Do not eat or drink in the work area.
Report problems or injuries immediately.
Know how to reach emergency personnel.
Put your emergency contact information in your cell phone.
1.3.2 Federal Regulations and
International Standard
Federal Regulation
Federal regulations and international standards have
been created to prevent injuries from laser radiation.
A federal regulation is a law based on the specific
country.
1.3.2 Federal Regulations and
International Standard
Organizations that published Laser Safety Standard/guidlines:
International Standard
Based on ANSI Z136.2., designations relate to the potential for ocular hazards to
occur only when the OFCS is being serviced.
SG1 An OFCS in this SG has a total output power that is less than the
accessible emission limit (AEL) for Class I (400nW) and there is no risk of
exceeding the maximum permissible irradiance (MPI) when viewing the end of
a fiber with a microscope, an eye loupe, or the unaided eye.
SG2 An OFCS is in this SG only if wavelengths between 400nm and 700nm
are emitted. Such lasers are potentially hazardous if viewed for more than 0.25
second.
SG3A An OFCS in this SG is not hazardous when viewed with the unaided eye
and is hazardous only when viewed with a microscope or eye loupe.
SG3B An OFCS in this SG does not meet any of the previous criteria.
1.3.2 Federal Regulations and
International Standard
OSHA Laser Hazard Classes
IEC Laser
Hazard
Classifications
List of
the hazards
associated with
each class.
Many of the
products used in
fiber-optic
communication
systems and test
equipment are
Class I;
however, some
equipment may
be Class IV.
1.3.3: Discuss Safety Around
Electricity
Hazards example:
Light Source
most lasers and LEDs used in fiber optics operate
in the near-infrared and infrared
(IR) wavelengths and are invisible to the eye, they
can still cause damage if they are delivered
at high intensity, or if the exposure is long enough.
1.3.3: Discuss Safety Around
Electricity
Chemicals/Alcohol
There are several types of chemicals, including 99 percent
isopropyl alcohol for cleaning components, solvents for
removing adhesives and other materials, and anaerobic
epoxy for making connectors is used.
Alcohol can also cause irritation to your eyes, skin, and
mucous membranes (nose and mouth) if it comes in direct
contact with them.
1.3.5: Discuss Lab and Workplace
Safety Practices
First Aid Kit
Fire Extinguisher
Injury Prevention
Follow all national, industry, and workplace safety rules
Training is essential when working with electricity, power
tools, or any other potential hazardous equipment
Use safety equipment
Be alert and act professionally
Stay current on issues related to safety and health in the
workplace
