Answer Key
Fill in the Blanks:
1. CAT6 cables support speeds up to 1 Gbps, making them better for noisy environments.
2. Coaxial cables are typically used for TV and broadband connections.
3. Fiber-optic cables consist of the core, cladding, and protective layers.
4. Wired networks use Ethernet and token ring technologies.
5. WPA3 encryption is employed in wireless network security.
True/False:
6. Coaxial cables are known for their high bandwidth and immunity to interference. (False)
7. Single-mode fiber is suitable for long-distance communication. (True)
8. Wireless networks generally offer faster speeds than wired networks. (False)
9. A firewall is designed to monitor and control network traffic based on security rules. (True)
10. Anti-spyware software provides real-time protection against viruses. (False)

15. Which security measure is recommended for cloud security?
c) Regular security checks
Short Questions:
16. Differentiate between CAT5e and CAT6 cables.
CAT5e cables support up to 100 Mbps and are common in homes, whereas CAT6 cables support
up to 1 Gbps and are better suited for environments with more interference.
17. Describe the structure of a fiber-optic cable.
A fiber-optic cable consists of a core, cladding, and protective layers. The core transmits light,
while the cladding reflects light back into the core, and the protective layers safeguard the cable
from damage.
18. List the advantages and disadvantages of wired networks.
Advantages: Faster and more secure than wireless networks. Disadvantages: Less flexibility and
higher installation cost.
19. What are the main types of firewalls, and how do they function?
Main types: Packet-filtering, stateful inspection, proxy, and next-generation firewalls. They
function by monitoring and controlling incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predefined
security rules.
20. Explain the security measures that should be taken for a wireless network.
Security measures include using WPA3 encryption, strong passwords, and regular monitoring to
prevent unauthorized access and ensure secure communication.
