...NT 1310 Mr. Davis January 6, 2016 Unit 3 Exercise 1. Specifications – Definitions Application (in terms of cabling infrastructure) – A system the transmission method of which is supported by telecommunications cabling, such as a 100base-TX Ethernet, or digital voice. Unshielded Twisted-Pair – (UTP) a pair of copper wires twisted together with no electromagnetic shielding around them. Each wire pair is twisted many times per foot to cancel out electrical signal. Shielded Twisted-Pair – A type of twisted pair cable in which the pairs are enclosed in an outer braided shield, although individual pairs may also be shielded. Fiber-Optic Cable - An optical fiber cable is a cable containing one or more optical fibers. The optical fiber elements are typically individually coated with plastic layers and contained in a protective tube suitable for the environment where the cable will be deployed. Optical fiber consists of a core and a cladding layer, selected for total internal reflection due to the difference in the refractive index between the two Dark Fiber – Dark fiber refers to unused fiber-optic cable. Often times’ companies lay more lines than what’s needed in order to curb costs of having to do it again and again. The dark strands can be leased to individuals or other companies who want to establish optical connections among their own locations. Coaxial Cable - is a type of cable for high bandwidth data transmission use that typically consists of a single copper wire...

...Unit 3: Introduction to Marketing Unit code: Y/502/5411 QCF Level 3: BTEC National Credit value: 10 Guided learning hours: 60 Aim and purpose The aim and purpose of this unit is to give learners an understanding of how marketing, research and planning and the marketing mix are used by all organisations. Unit introduction Marketing is at the heart of every organisation’s activity. Its importance is also growing in the non-commercial, public and voluntary sectors. Also, at the heart of marketing is the customer. This unit will introduce learners to some of the tools and techniques all types of organisations use to achieve their objectives. Firstly, learners will explore how different types of organisations use marketing principles to meet the needs of their customers and achieve their objectives. The constraints under which organisations operate are important and learners will study the legal requirements and voluntary codes that affect marketing. Learners will then go on to investigate how organisations collect data through market research and turn it into useful information which can be analysed and used to plan their marketing activities. The segmentation and targeting of groups of customers is a key marketing technique and this is studied in detail. This includes the different bases for segmentation of both consumer and business markets. Next, learners will examine how a marketing mix is developed to meet the needs and aspirations of...

...CMIS 102 Hands-On Lab // Week 3 Overview: This hands-on lab allows you to follow and experiment with the critical steps of developing a program including the program description, analysis, test plan, design (using both flow chart and pseudocode visualization), and implementation with C code. The example provided uses sequential and selection statements. Program Description: This program will calculate the area of a right triangle. The program will ask the user to enter the base and height and then use these values to calculate and then print the area of the triangle. If the area of the triangle is greater than 100 square units, an additional message is printed stating the triangle is too large for the specification. However; if the triangle is less than or equal to 100 square units, the additional message will state the triangle is within specifications. The design step will include both pseudocode and flow chart visualization. Analysis: I will use sequential and selection programming statements. I will define two float numbers for the base and height: base, height. Float numbers were selected as opposed to integers to make sure triangles of all dimensions are possible and not just whole numbers. Float number will store the area: area The area will be calculated by this formula: Area = ½ * (base * height) For example if the base was 4.2 and the height was 5.3 the area would be calculated as: Area = ½ * (4.2 * 5.3) = ½ * (22.26) = 11.13 The additional selection...

Application (in terms of cabling infrastructure): The application layer is the OSI layer closest to the end user, which means both the OSI application layer and the user interact directly with the software application. When determining resource availability, the application layer must decide whether sufficient network or the requested communication exists.. (OSI_model#Layer_7:_application_layer) 2. Unshielded twisted-pair: UTP cable is a popular cable used in computer networking that consists of two shielded wires twisted around each other. In the image to the right, is an example of the different network cables you're likely to encounter. (/jargon/u/utpcable.htm) 3. Shielded Twisted-pair: Twisted Pair (STP) has a fine wire mesh surrounding the wires to protect the transmission; Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) does not. Shielded cable is used in older telephone networks, network, and data communications to reduce outside interference. In the picture to the right, is an example of what these cables look like inside.
