Question

1. With CSMA/CD, what will happen if a host has data to transmit and there is already data on the cable?

   The host will wait for a random backoff period before attempting to transmit again.

2. Which Ethernet standard works at 100 Mbps over Cat 5 or better copper cable?

   100BASE-TX.

3. Which copper Ethernet standard meets the bandwidth requirements for clients in an office network while minimizing costs?

   Gigabit Ethernet. Provisioning 10 GbE would require upgrading the network adapters in most client devices, as well as potentially requiring upgraded cable installation.

4. A network designer wants to run a 10 gigabit backbone between two switches in buildings that are 75 m (246 feet) apart. What is the main consideration when selecting an appropriate copper cable?

   At that distance, some type of shielded or screened cat 6A or better cable is required for the installation to be compliant with Ethernet standard 10GBASE-T.
