Please sign up for the course before taking this quiz.

1. Which wiring standards are commonly used for terminating RJ45 Ethernet connectors?
1
- Cat6 and Cat6A
- T568A and T568B
- IEEE 802.1Q and 802.1X
- T568C and T568D
2. Why are crossover Ethernet cables less commonly required with modern network devices?
1
- T568A is no longer supported
- Auto-MDI/MDIX can automatically handle transmit and receive pair orientation
- Modern Ethernet uses only four wires
- Fiber optic cables replaced them completely
3. How many positions and contacts does the connector commonly called RJ45 use in Ethernet cabling?
1
- 4P4C
- 10P8C
- 8P8C
- 6P4C
4. In the T568B wiring standard, which color is used on Pin 1?
1
- Blue
- Green
- White/Orange
- White/Green
5. Which statement about RJ45 and SFP is correct?
1
- Both can only be used with fiber optic cables
- RJ45 is a modular transceiver and SFP is an Ethernet cable
- SFP ports always use RJ45 connectors
- RJ45 is commonly used with twisted-pair copper Ethernet, while SFP can support fiber or copper depending on the transceiver
6. Which RJ45 connector type is generally more appropriate for an environment with significant electromagnetic interference (EMI)?
1
- Unshielded RJ45
- Standard telephone connector
- Shielded RJ45
- RJ11
7. What is the main difference between T568A and T568B?
1
- T568B supports higher Ethernet speeds
- T568A uses only four conductors
- The blue and brown pairs are reversed
- The orange and green pairs swap positions
8. What should you use after crimping an RJ45 connector to check the cable for common wiring problems?
1
- SFP transceiver
- Multilayer switch
- Cable tester
- Wireless controller
