Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

17. A connector used to terminate coaxial cable used for transmitting television and broadband cable signals






18. 4th layer; protocols ensure that data are transferred from point A to point B reliably and without errors; services include flow control - acknowledgment - error correction - segmentation - reassembly - and sequencing






19. Secure sockets layer-encyrpts TCP/IP transmission including web forms- en route b/w the client server using public key encryption technology






20. Communications that occur in discrete units where the start of a unit is signaled by a start bit at the front and the end of the unit is signaled by a stop bit at the back.
