4 Network Media and Topologies Online Quiz Questions

A link is rated for 1 Gbps, but a file transfer runs at a lower rate. Is the file transfer rate the link's bandwidth?

An installer needs twisted-pair cable with added shielding to help protect a connection from electrical noise. What type of cable should the installer choose?

A small office wants a layout in which failure of one computer's cable will usually affect only that computer, while failure of a central device could affect many connections. Which topology best fits this design?

A company is evaluating fiber for a high-capacity link between facilities. Select all properties of fiber that support considering it for this link.

A diagram shows devices physically arranged around a central access point, but users share wireless communication. Does the physical layout alone determine the network's logical topology?

A computer sends data through a path whose slowest switch port is rated at 100 Mbps. What is the maximum rate of the complete path in Gbps? Enter the value in Gbps.

A network designer wants redundant paths between selected key devices but does not want to connect every device directly to every other device. Which topology choice best meets that goal?

A team investigates why Wi-Fi performance varies between users. Select all factors identified as possible causes of changes in wireless signal quality or performance.

An organization wants to expand its network across several floors by connecting groups of local star networks through higher-level devices. Which topology fits this design, and how does its arrangement support expansion?

A growing organization connects several floor-level star networks through higher-level devices, creating a layered layout. Which topology name describes this arrangement?

A network facility needs a fiber link between distant locations. Which fiber type is described as suited to longer links because it limits light to a narrower path?

A technician finds that each endpoint has its own connection to a central switch rather than sharing one main cable. Which physical topology does this describe?

Each device in a network connects to its neighbors in a loop, and traffic may travel around that loop. What topology does this describe?

A Wi-Fi connection can provide mobility, but its signal quality and performance may vary with obstacles, interference, and the number of devices sharing the radio channel.

A technician is choosing twisted-pair cable for an area where electrical noise is a concern. Which type adds shielding to help protect against that noise?

A data path contains links rated at 1 Gbps, 100 Mbps, and 500 Mbps. What is the maximum possible end-to-end rate in Mbps?

Devices are arranged around a central access point, but they communicate by sharing wireless access. Which statement correctly distinguishes the physical and logical topologies?

A network's devices share one main cable. A fault in that cable disrupts the network. Which topology does this describe?
