Subject : it-skills
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.
1. Faster wireless standard 20-25






2. Most common cabling used in networking. Usually connects nodes to the main network.






3. The sender transmits the data to the destination without establishment of a connection.






4. IEEE standard for wireless networking






5. A type of fiber optic connector. These connectors are square shaped and have release mechanisms to prevent the cable from accidentally being unplugged






6. Which protocol provides the user with many functions of the world wide web?






7. NAT






8. Measure of the difference between the highest and lowest frequencies that a medium can transmit






9. Most resistant to EMI






10. A form of fiber-optic cable that supports only one signal transmission at a time and that is used mainly for long- distance communication.






11. Is a secure form of HTTP






12. In TCP - a term used to describe a TCP header and its encapsulated data (also called an L4PDU). Also in TCP - the process of accepting a large chunk of data from the application layer and breaking it into smaller pieces that fit into TCP segments. In






13. Works closely with IP in providing error and control information - by allowing hosts to exchange packet status information to help move the packets along the internetwork






14. Asynchronous digital subscriber line. Method of providing internet service that uses the standard phone line - but transmits data at a different frequency than voice. Faster than ISDN.






15. Determines the network path on which to route packets - Help reduce network congestion - Establishes virtual circuits - Routes packets to other networks - resequencing packet transmissions when needed - Translates between protocols






16. Determines standards for the electronics industry and other fields - such as chemical and nuclear engineering - health and safety - and construction






17. Helps you identify percentage of traffic that compromises broadcasts






18. A far-reaching system of networks that usually extends over approximately 48 kilometers (about 30 miles) and often reaches across states and continents.

25. A connector that is used for thin coax cable and that has a boyonet-like shell.






26. Communications cable that consists of one or more glass 0r plastic fiber cores inside a protective cladding material - covered by a plastic PVC outer jacket. Signal transmission along the inside fibers typically uses infrared light.






27. The IEEE standard for Ethernet networking devices and data handling (using the CSMA/CD access method)






28. Standards organizations representing 157 countries headquartered in Geneva. Goal is to establish international standards to facilitate global exchange of information and barrier-free trade

31. A TCP/IP utility that at its simplest returns either to IP address of a host if its host name is specified or its host name if its IP address is specified






32. Multiple physical/non-physical mediums for connecting computers






33. Which layer in the OSI network model is responsible for providing a set of interfaces for applications to obtain access to networked services?






34. CSU






35. Techniques that employ hardware and software to province assurance against equipment failures - computer service interruptions - and data losses
