Question 31

A small business owner purchases a building and wants to set up an internet connection. A technician examines the target network room and discovers a coaxial wall jack. Which of the following internet types would the technician most likely recommend for the new business?

A. Fiber

B. Satellite

C. DSL

D. Cable

Show Answer

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:
A coaxial wall jack is characteristic of cable internet service, which uses coaxial cable infrastructure. DSL uses telephone lines (RJ11), fiber uses fiber-optic cabling/ONT, and satellite requires a satellite dish rather than relying on an existing coax wall jack as the access medium.

Question 32

A technician needs to provide equipment for an international contractor. Which of the following cables would most likely change depending on the equipment's destination?

A. Power

B. Ethernet

C. FireWire

D. USB

Show Answer

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:
Power cables and plugs vary by country due to different outlet types, voltages, and frequencies. Ethernet, FireWire, and USB cables are standardized internationally and generally do not change based on destination.

Question 33

Which of the following systems most likely contains ECC memory?

A. A high-end gaming console

B. A file server

C. A smartphone

D. A laptop

Show Answer

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:
ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory is primarily used in systems where data integrity and reliability are critical, such as file servers and enterprise servers. Consumer devices like gaming consoles, smartphones, and most laptops typically use non-ECC memory due to cost and compatibility considerations.

Question 34

Which of the following can be used by a mobile device to access a secure building?

A. Hotspot

B. Near-field communication

C. Infrared scanner

D. Geolocation

Show Answer

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:
Near-field communication (NFC) is commonly used for mobile access control systems. A mobile device can emulate a secure credential and communicate with an NFC-enabled door reader to unlock and access a secure building. Hotspots provide network connectivity, infrared scanners are not the standard mobile building access method, and geolocation only determines position rather than granting physical access.

Question 35

Which of the following cloud types should be used when minimizing cost is the priority?

A. Dedicated

B. Shared

C. Private

D. Hybrid

Show Answer

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:
Shared (multi-tenant) cloud environments distribute infrastructure costs across many customers, making them generally the lowest-cost option. Dedicated and private clouds provide isolated resources at higher cost, while hybrid deployments typically add management complexity and expense rather than minimizing cost.

Question 36

Which of the following cable types must be used when running copper network cable through a suspended ceiling that is used for air ventilation?

A. Plenum

B. Multimode

C. Coaxial

D. Twisted pair

Show Answer

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:
Plenum-rated cable is required in plenum spaces such as suspended ceilings used for air handling because its jacket is designed to produce less smoke and fewer toxic fumes in the event of a fire. The other options describe transmission media or fiber types rather than the required fire-rated cable jacket.

Question 37

A user has issues selecting objects on their tablet. The user tries to select an object, and the object that opens is to the right of the object that the user selects. Which of the following should a technician do to troubleshoot the issue?

A. Change the stylus.

B. Calibrate the digitizer.

C. Check for malware.

D. Clean the screen.

Show Answer

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:
A consistent offset between the touch point and the object that is activated indicates the touch input mapping is inaccurate. Calibrating the tablet's digitizer realigns touch coordinates with the display. Replacing the stylus, checking for malware, or cleaning the screen would not typically correct a systematic positional offset.

Question 38

Which of the following describes the function of an injector?

A. To provide only data connectivity

B. To supply power across a cable

C. To improve wireless performance

D. To extend a network connection

Show Answer

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:
An injector in networking typically refers to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector, which injects electrical power onto an Ethernet cable so compatible devices can receive both power and data over the same cable. It does not solely provide data connectivity, improve wireless performance, or extend network reach.

Question 39

A technician needs to change the VLAN configuration for all the desktops in the sales office. Which of the following devices should the technician connect to in order to complete the task?

A. Modem

B. Hub

C. PoE injector

D. Managed switch

Show Answer

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:
VLAN membership and port VLAN configuration are configured on a managed switch. Hubs do not support VLANs, modems provide WAN connectivity, and PoE injectors only supply power over Ethernet without VLAN management.

Question 40

HOTSPOT - An office manager reports that a printer is experiencing performance issues. All double-sided printouts are getting stuck in the printer and must be manually removed. Additionally, there are streaks of faded text running down each page. INSTRUCTIONS - Using the dropdown menus, select from the available printer parts to replace only the faulty components on the office printer to resolve the stated issues. If at any time you would like to bring back the initial state of the simulation, please click the Reset All button.

Show Answer

Correct Answer: Duplexer Toner

Explanation:
Replace the duplexer to fix jams that occur only during double-sided printing. Replace the toner cartridge to resolve faded vertical streaks, which are commonly caused by a depleted or defective toner/drum assembly.
