Final answer:
In standard networking infrastructure, horizontal cabling runs from the IDF to the wall jack, and a patch cable connects a workstation to a wall jack. The correct terms are 'Horizontal' for the cabling from the IDF to the wall jack, and 'Patch' for the cable from the wall jack to the workstation.
Step-by-step explanation:
In an office with standard networking infrastructure, horizontal cabling runs from the Intermediate Distribution Frame (IDF) to the wall jack, and a patch cable connects a workstation to a wall jack. The correct answer to the question is:
Horizontal, Patch
Horizontal cabling is used to connect the telecommunications rooms to individual outlets or work areas on the same floor, typically using twisted pair or fiber optic cables. Patch cables are shorter cables used to connect end user devices like computers to the wall outlet, enabling them to attach to the network.
Regarding the truthfulness of the statement about high-voltage wires, the answer is false. High-voltage wires that are connected to tall metal-frame towers are indeed held aloft by insulating connectors to minimize the risk of electricity arcing to unwanted paths. However, these wires are generally not wrapped in insulating material because they can operate safely without insulation due to the high towers that distance them from people and objects, in combination with the air acting as an insulator.
