hw25

For guided conductive mediums such as UTP (unshielded twisted pair) and coaxial cable, thicker conductors (i.e., lower AWG numbers) result in higher data rate capacities being supported.

a. True

b. False

hw26

Select the correct statement(s) regarding UTP.

b. All UTP wire pairs within a cable (e.g., Cat 5e) are twisted at exactly the same twist ratio

c. UTP signals are balance, which means that each wire within a pair carries the same signal, but with opposite polarities

hw27

Coaxial conductors use unbalanced signals, which means that it is less capable than UTP balanced conductors with regards to data rate capacity and attenuation.

a. True

b. False

hw28

Select the correct statement(s) regarding fiber optic cable.

a. The core and cladding within a fiber optic cable must have the same refractive index in order to achieve TIR (Total Internal Reflection)

b. Only single mode fiber (SMF) can be constructed with either a “step” or “graded index” core

c. LDs have a more narrow spectral width compared to LEDs

d. All of the above are differences between LEDs and LDs

hw31

APD (Avalanche Photo Diode) light detectors amplify optical signals during the optical-to-electron (OEO) conversion. PIN (Positive Intrinsic Negative) light detectors do not amplify the optical signal during the OEO process.

a. True

b. False

hw32

a. True

b. False 6

hw33

Optical amplifiers and switches do not require conversion between optical and electrical signals (i.e., OEO process).

a. True

b. False

hw34

Signal reflection within an unguided medium such as the atmosphere is never beneficial for signal transmission.

a. True b. False

hw35

________ describes the bending of a signal wave caused by changes in the refractive index of the unguided medium.

a. Reflection

b. Refraction

c. Absorption

d. Scattering

Explanation / Answer

35. The answer is C. the fact or phenomenon of light, radio waves, etc. being deflected in passing obliquely through the interface between one medium and another or through a medium of varying density is called refraction.

34. The answer is True. Because due to reflection in unguided media in atmosphere signal may be lost energy with which it carries. So this results in loss of information from it.

I just answered what I know. If any queries comment plz..
