Supporting Cabling and Physical Installations

MODULE INTRODUCTION

At the Physical layer, networks are made from different cabling types and their connectors and transceivers. These establish direct links between nodes in a local segment. At the Data Link layer, nodes in these segments are given a standard means of exchanging data as frames.

As they are closely related, networking products often define standards for both the Physical and Data Link layers. While plenty of products have been used in the past, many cabled networks are now based on the Ethernet standards. Understanding the options and specifications for Ethernet are essential to building and supporting networks of all sizes.

In this module, you will summarize standards for deploying Ethernet over copper and fiber optic media types and identify the tools and techniques required to deploy and troubleshoot Ethernet cabling.

 

MODULE OBJECTIVES

In this module, you will do the following:

  • Summarize Ethernet standards.
  • Summarize copper cabling and connector types.
  • Summarize fiber optic cabling and connector types.
  • Describe physical installation factors for rack-based installations in server rooms and datacenters.
  • Deploy and troubleshoot Ethernet cabling.
