Match each physical layer network issue or diagnostic requirement with the most appropriate hardware testing tool.
- Locating the exact distance to a bend or break in a 2 km single-mode fiber optic linkOptical Time-Domain Reflectometer (OTDR)
- Tracing an unlabelled Ethernet wall outlet back to its corresponding port on a patch panelTone Generator and Probe
- Verifying the operational integrity of a network interface card's transmit and receive circuitryLoopback Plug
- Identifying a split-pair condition and distance to an open fault on a Category 6 UTP cable runTime-Domain Reflectometer (TDR)
Cevap
The diagnostic scenarios match their respective hardware tools as follows: Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) maps to long-distance fiber breaks; Tone Generator and Probe maps to tracing unlabelled cable runs; Loopback Plug maps to testing interface hardware circuitry; Time-Domain Reflectometer (TDR) maps to copper cable split pairs and open fault distance measurements.
Each tool is paired according to its specific function and physical medium: OTDR tests fiber optic reflections, Tone Generator/Probe traces copper cable pathways, Loopback Plugs test hardware interfaces, and TDR measures electrical reflections on copper twisted-pair cabling.
