2024 BICSI CABLE INSTALLATION
CHAPTER 5 EXAM WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS
What're the 3 types of Splice closure: - CORRECT-ANSWERS- Straight
- Branch
- Butt
Cables should always be installed _______ or ________ to major building
structure. - CORRECT-ANSWERS- Parallel
- Perpendicular
Generally, backbone copper cable is spliced using: - CORRECT-ANSWERS-
Single Connectors
- Multi-splicing modules
Single connectors: Note card - CORRECT-ANSWERS- Are not to be used in
category-compliant installations
- Are available in designs capable of terminating two or three conductors
- Can be filled or non-filled
- Accept different gauge wires
- Require no special tools
- Require minimum setup time
- Are not recommended for splices of more than 50 pairs
What're examples of consistent methods? - CORRECT-ANSWERS- Not
allowing cable to twist, kink, or bind
- Maintaining the minimum cabled bend radius
- Avoiding physical damage to the cable jacket
- Not exceeding the maximum pulling tension
- Conditioning cables per the manufacturer's instructions
Two common modulars splicing techniques - CORRECT-ANSWERS- Inline
- Foldback
Wire is placed in a straight-across arrangement and allows little wire slack.
What splicing method is this referring to? - CORRECT-ANSWERS- Inline
splicing
Foldback splicing method allows: - CORRECT-ANSWERS- The conductor to be
folded back into the splice
, Most balanced twisted-pair cable splicing is performed with splicing modules.
True or False - CORRECT-ANSWERSTrue
The inline method is not designed to be rearranged & should receive
minimum handling.
True or False - CORRECT-ANSWERSTrue
Foldback method allows maintenance, rearrangement, & transfer of the
conductors.
True or False - CORRECT-ANSWERSTrue
Foldback requires more cable to be stored within the splice and could
increase the size of the needed splice closure.
True or False - CORRECT-ANSWERSTrue
Most splices are not foldback.
True or False - CORRECT-ANSWERSFalse
In most cases, a bonding braid and an insulating sleeve are provided along
with the screen/shield bond connector.
True or False - CORRECT-ANSWERSTrue
The position of the splicing head is important to the operation so that the: -
CORRECT-ANSWERS- Wires will fit snugly into the splicing head and
connector module
Optical Fiber cable splices cannot always be avoided because of the
following conditions: - CORRECT-ANSWERS- Cable plant layout
- Length
- Raceway congestion
- Requirements for a transition splice between non-listed OSP cables and
listed cable at the building's entrance point
- Unexpected requirements
Splices and unjacketed fiber strands are protected and secured by a
_________. - CORRECT-ANSWERS- Splice Closure
Splice enclosure is generally secured to a ___ or ___. - CORRECT-ANSWERS-
Rack
- Wall
The splice closure contains the optical fiber splices in _____ or _____ typically
in groups of 6, 12, 24, or more. - CORRECT-ANSWERS- Splice Trays
- Organizers
Planning is not a critical part of the splicing operation.
