FOA CFOT Certification Exam v11 Study Guide & Practice
Questions
1. A fiber optic inspection microscope can in- True
crease the danger of high powered light
sources by focusing the light coming out of a
fiber into your eye. True or False?
2. A fiber optic power meter measures absolute True
power in dBM (dB referenced to 1 mw) and,
when used with a light source, can measure
insertion loss expressed in dB. True or False?
3. When we say 62.5/125 fiber, what does "62.5" core size, the diameter in microns
mean?
4. When we say 50/125 fiber, what does "125" cladding size, the diameter in mi-
mean? crons
5. OM3 and OM4 multimode fiber with a 50/125 Are "laser optimized" which gives
micron core are now a popular option in more distance capability with giga-
premises cabling systems because they _____. bit networks using laser sources
6. In-multimode fiber, the attenuation (reduction Higher
in optical power) of the fiber is _____ at 850 nm
than at 1300 nm.
7. Which of the following represents a singlemode 9/125 micron
