Correct Which of the following describes the point where the service provider's responsibility to install and maintain wiring and equipment ends and the customer's begins? Demarc Vertical cross connect Punch down block IDF Explanation When you contract with a local exchange carrier (LEC) for data or telephone services, they install a physical cable and a termination jack on your premises. The demarcation point (demarc) is the line that marks the boundary between the Telco equipment and the private network or telephone system. Typically, the LEC is responsible for all the equipment on one side of the demarc, and the customer is responsible for all the equipment on the other side of the demarc. A punch down block is a block used to connect individual copper wires together. While the demarc might terminate in a punch down block, punchdown blocks are used within other locations at the customer site. An intermediate distribution frame (IDF) is a smaller wiring distribution point within a building. IDFs are typically located on each floor directly above the main distribution frame (MDF), although additional IDFs can be added on each floor as necessary. A vertical cross connect connects the IDF to the MDF on a different floor. References

Correct You have a network that occupies all three floors of a building. The WAN service provider has installed the line in a wiring closet on the main floor. You have a wiring closet on the two remaining floors directly above the wiring closet on the main floor. What would you use to connect the wiring closets together? Vertical cross connect Demarc extension Smart jack Horizontal cross connect Explanation A vertical cross connect joins the main distribution frame (MDF) on the main floor to intermediate distribution frames (IDFs) on upper floors. Cabling runs vertically (up and down) between the MDF and the IDFs. A horizontal cross connect joins IDFs on the same floor. Cabling runs horizontally (sideways) between the IDFs. A smart jack is a special loopback plug installed at the demarcation point for a WAN service. Technicians at the central office can send diagnostic commands to the smart plug to test connectivity between the central office and the demarc. A demarc extension extends the demarcation point from its original location to another location within the building. The demarc extension typically consists of a single wire bundle

The demarc extension typically consists of a single wire bundle that attaches to the existing demarc and supplies a termination point to a different location. You might need a demarc extension if your network occupies an upper floor of a building. The LEC typically installs the demarc on the MDF on the bottom floor, and you'll need to install an extension to place the demarc on the IDF on your floor.

Correct Which recommendation should you follow while using 110 blocks for connecting Cat5 and higher data cables? Keep wire pairs twisted up to within one half of an inch of the connector. Connect wires using the T568B standard. Use C-5 connectors. Connect wires using the T568A standard. Explanation When you use Cat5 (or higher) wiring, preserve the twists in each wire pair to within one half of an inch of the connecting block. Use C-4 connectors to connect four pairs of wires. When connecting data wires on a 110 block, you typically connect wires in the following order: White wire with a blue stripe followed by the solid blue wire. White wire with an orange stripe followed by the solid orange wire.

Correct Which of the following uses metal clips placed over plastic slots to connect individual copper wires? 100 pair 66 block 110 block 25 pair Explanation A 110 block is a punch down block that uses metal clips fitted over plastic pins. To connect wires using a 110 block, place the wires in the plastic slots, attach the metal clip, and then punch down the connecting cable on the top of the clip. A 66 block uses metal pins to connect wires. Wires are placed in the pins, and pins within a row are electrically connected. 25 pair and 100 pair are cable bundles that include multiple pairs of copper wires (either 25 pairs of wires or 100 pairs of wires).

Correct You are preparing to attach wires in a 110 block. You want to connect the wires and trim off the excess at the same time. Which of the following should you do? (Select two.) Point the cut side of the tool towards the wire end. Use the end without a cutting blade. Use a punch down tool with a notched blade. Point the cut side of the tool toward the connected end of the wire. Use a punch down tool with a straight blade. Explanation Use a punch down tool to connect wires to a 110 or 66 block. When using a punch down tool, choose the right blade for the job: Use a notched blade for a 110 block. Use a straight blade for a 66 block. For both blade types, you can use the end without a cutting blade if you want to punch down without cutting the wire.

Correct Which of the following terminates individual wires from a 25-pair or 100-pair cable using female RJ45 ports? 110 block 66 block Horizontal cross connect Patch panel Explanation A patch panel is a device that typically connects individual stranded wires into female RJ45 connectors. For example, you might connect four pairs of wires from a punch down block to a port on the patch panel. On the patch panel, you then connect drop cables (cables with RJ45 connectors) to the patch panel on one end and a computer on the other end. Use 66 and 110 blocks to connect individual wires within a wiring closet. These punch down blocks connect the individual wires together, but they do not terminate in RJ45 connectors. A horizontal cross connect connects IDFs on the same floor. References 3.3.3 Wiring Distribution 3.3.4 Use Punchdown Blocks 3.3.5 Wiring Distribution Facts
