◉ What is the return signal pass band frequency used in most of
North America? Answer: 5-42 MHz.
◉ What is the primary difference between coaxial express cable and
coaxial distribution cable in an HFC architecture? Answer: Taps are
installed on coaxial distribution cable and not on express cable.
◉ Which testing device is the best to use to measure cable faults?
Answer: A time domain reflectometer (TDR).
◉ Which of the following is used to define the waveform of an
optical signal? Answer: Wavelength.
◉ What is the function of an interdiction unit? Answer: An
interdiction unit controls the level of service to the drop ports it
contains.
◉ Which of the following devices is an active device? Answer: An
addressable tap
,◉ The impedance of coaxial cable or a device is made up of the
combined effects of which three electrical properties? Answer:
Resistance, inductance, and capacitance.
◉ When all other factors are equal, if the bonding wire and the cable
connecting the drop cable to consumer electronics are the same size,
which should be shorter in order to correctly bond the installation?
Answer: The bonding wire.
◉ What is the definition of tap value? Answer: The signal loss
between the tap input port and the tap ports.
◉ Alternating current is a current Answer: That changes direction
(or alternates) in the conductor each time the potential difference
applied to the ends of the conductor changes (or alternates) its
polarity.
◉ A simple AC generator containing a wire loop rotating between
the poles of a magnet produces AC voltage Answer: Through
magnetism and mechanical motion.
◉ The amount of power lost as a result of conversion to heat in
power transmission lines Answer: Is directly proportional to the
amount of resistance present and to the square of the amount of
current.
,◉ To transmit AC power efficiently, what power line voltage-current
combination would deliver the same amount of power as 10 amps
and 10,000 volts, but with the least heat loss? Answer: 2 amps and
50,000 volts.
◉ In a power transmission circuit, the transformer located near the
user's home, typically Answer: Converts the high voltage, low
current combination carried on the transmission lines to a low
voltage, high current combination for residential use.
◉ All true AC waveforms Answer: Always are symmetrical about the
horizontal axis.
◉ The output voltage waveform generated by an AC generator
during one complete rotation of the generator's armature Answer: Is
called a sine wave.
◉ The square wave and the sawtooth wave AC waveforms Answer:
Seem to decrease "instantly" from a maximum positive value to a
maximum negative value of voltage or current.
◉ The polarity of a DC waveform Answer: Does not change.
, ◉ A fluctuating DC waveform Answer: Can be identical to an AC
waveform, except that the fluctuating DC waveform never changes
polarity.
◉ One cycle Answer: Is equal to one complete rotation of the
armature of an AC generator.
◉ What is the wavelength of one cycle of an AC waveform when: (1)
the frequency of the waveform is 80 Hz; (2) the speed of light is
300,000 kilometers per second; and (3) the waveform has an
amplitude of 5 volts? Answer: 3,750 km.
◉ What is the time period of one cycle or wavelength of an AC
waveform when the frequency of the waveform is 50 Hz? Answer:
0.0200 seconds.
◉ A phase angle Answer: Is the amount of time, in degrees, it takes
the waveform to change from the zero-degree reference point to any
other point on the waveform.
◉ The amplitude of a waveform is defined as Answer: The maximum
level of either half-cycle of the waveform.
◉ The peak value of a waveform Answer: Is another name for the
amplitude of the waveform.
