Optical Fiber Transmission Modes, Network Switching, and Routing Fundamentals
Optical Fiber Transmission Modes and Applications
1. Modes of Transmission in Optical Fibers
Optical fibers transmit light beams through different paths called modes of propagation. The type of propagation mode determines whether the fiber is classified as multimode or singlemode.
Multimode Fiber
Multimode fiber allows light beams to travel through multiple modes or paths simultaneously. This type of fiber can support over a thousand light propagation paths. Multimode fibers are cost-effective and

Joins
JOIN – brings together data from two or more related tables into one resultant table.
INNER JOIN – also known as equi-join; the joining condition is based on equality between values in the common columns.
OUTER JOIN – rows that do not have matching values in common columns are also included in the result table.

The Testing Process
Component Testing
- Testing of individual program components.
- Usually the responsibility of the component developer (except sometimes for critical systems).
- Tests are derived from the developer’s experience.
System Testing
- Testing of groups of components integrated to create a system or sub-system.
- The responsibility of an independent testing team.
- Tests are based on a system specification.
Defect Testing
The goal of defect testing is to discover defects in programs. A successful defect

1. Threads
a. What is a thread?
A thread is a program unit executed independently of other parts of the program. It allows a program to run two or more tasks simultaneously.
b. Provide an example of when using threads would be appropriate.
In a web environment, using threads is appropriate when handling images, text, and animations concurrently.
c. Explain the purpose of the run() and start() methods in a thread.
run() method: Defines the code that the thread will execute.
start() method: Initiates the
Windows Server 2003: An Overview
Windows Server 2003
The Windows Server 2003 operating system is part of Microsoft’s Windows Server brand and was launched in 2003. It is based on NT technology and uses NT kernel version 5.2.
Overview
Windows Server 2003 can be considered a modified version of Windows XP. While it retains most features, some are disabled by default to optimize performance and prioritize server functionality. For instance, the Luna GUI, known as Windows XP’s visual style, is replaced with the classic Windows interface.

Functions of the Control Unit During Instruction Execution
The control unit is the part of the CPU responsible for directing operations. It sends control signals outside the CPU to manage data exchange with memory and I/O devices. It also issues internal control signals for data transfers between registers, ALU operations, and other internal tasks. The control unit receives input from the instruction register, flags, and control signals from the bus.
The control unit’s primary role is to orchestrate
