This document provides a complete exam preparation guide with over 100 questions and correct answers for the Construction Coordinator I–II Progression Exam, aligned with the 2025/2026 assessment cycle. It covers technical content required for field engineers, cable technicians, and construction coordinators working within HFC (Hybrid Fiber-Coaxial) networks and broadband infrastructure. The questions focus on real-world technical operations, hardware installation, signal testing, and network configuration, including: HFC and RF technologies: DOCSIS, PacketCable, DWDM, MPEG standards, CMTS function, local ad insertion. Cable systems and equipment: Optical nodes, line extenders, hardline coaxial cable preparation, directional couplers, taps, splitters, power inserters. Signal measurement and integrity: attenuation, return loss, impedance mismatches, signal leaks, VoP, TDR and MTDR use. Network maps and design: interpreting RF design maps, identifying tap values, node splitting, amplifier types, and network architecture symbols. Trenching, boring, and cable burial techniques: chain trenchers, vibratory plows, direct burial best practices, expansion loops, backfilling protocols. Safety standards and construction procedures: conduit installation, operator protection systems, proper handling of boring equipment, electrical grounding, and avoiding utility damage. This document is essential for professionals preparing for promotions, certifications, or internal assessments in: Telecommunications & Broadband Field Engineering Cable Construction Coordination HFC Network Maintenance and Planning Technical Operations and Infrastructure Deployment ISP/OSP Line Technician Training Programs All answers are marked clearly and explained concisely, making the document a high-value reference for test readiness and practical knowledge reinforcement.
