Conventional Exam/190 Questions &
Answers
What is one reason why broadband cable operators install fiber-optic cable in
stages instead of changing the infrastructure all at once? - -Changing the
infrastructure all at once would cause too many service disruptions.
-What is the difference between the fiber-to-the-node (FTTN) and fiber-to-
the-curb (FTTC) topologies? - -An FTTC is allowed a smaller number of RF
amplifiers between the optical fiber and the customer premises.
-Which of these components is used in a passive optical network (PON)? - -
Optical splitters.
-Which type of star topology used in a passive optical network (PON) places
the PON splitters into fiber access terminal (FAT) located deep in the network
and closer to the customer premises than the centralized split? - -Distributed
star.
-Which element of a passive optical network (PON) uses a Bragg grating
filter? - -Optical line terminal (OLT).
-Which element of a passive optical network (PON) uses patch panels? - -
Optical distribution network (ODN).
-What is it about radio frequency over glass (RFoG) that made broadband
cable operators envision using it to make a seamless transition from the
legacy hybrid fiber/coax (HFC) architecture over to a gigabit-capable passive
optical network (GPON) or Ethernet passive optical network (EPON)? - -RFoG
can operate in parallel with GPON or EPON, which eliminates the need for
any downtime during the transition.
-How are optical splitters used in the forward path? - -In the forward path,
optical splitters are used as passive branching devices that divide an optical
signal across multiple output fibers.
-Which of the following describes a fiber pigtail? - -Fiber-optic cable with
pre-connectorized ends.
-Heat shrink tubing is installed over the fusion-splice to strengthen and
protect it. When should the heat shrink be installed on the fiber? - -Before
stripping the plastic coating from the fiber.
,-Which of the following are statements of true axioms? - -When A = C and B
= C, then A = B because both are equal to C, which supports the axiom:
Quantities equal to the same quantity are equal to each other.
-Simplify and solve the equation: If E = IR then I = ? - -E/R

-(480 x 10 to the power of -5) divided by (60 x 10 to the power of -3) = - -8
x 10 to the power of -2
-(250 x 10 to the power of -6) - (7 x 10 to the power of -5) = - -180 x 10 to
the power of -6
-(75 × 103) + (25 × 104) = - -(*Wrong) 100 × 10^3
-(-25) + (42) + (-62) + (20) = - --25
-(17) x (-19) = - --323
-(-17) - (-34) = - -17
--49/-7 = - -7
-(20) / (-4) + (-2) x (-10) - (-2) x (7) = - -29
-3 6/9 + 6 1/3 + 9 5/9 = - -19 5/9
-4/7 x 9 4/11 = - -5 27/77
-7 3/8 divided by 7 1/4 = - -1 1/58
-8.13 X 0.123 = - -0.99999
-0.5349 divided by 0.1420 = - -3.7669014
, -Which of the following is a method for controlling expectations? - -Identify
the source of emotional overload.
-Which of the following best describes stereotyped thinking? - -Presuming
that all members of a group have certain characteristics.
-The attribute of being "active" as a critical thinker means - -You observe
and take notes relevant to the issue.
-What kind of reasoning is described as applying a general statement that
you know to be true to a new situation? - -Deductive.
-It is essential to pay attention to warning signs of stress overload. Poor
attitude is one of the behaviors that may indicate that you are overstressed.
What are the symptoms of poor attitude behavior? - -A significant change in
attitude with a noticeable movement toward negative, hostile, cynical, or
paranoid thoughts
-You are at a customer's home and you are asking the customer whether the
problem is intermittent or constant. Which step are you using from the six-
step troubleshooting process? - -Identifying the problem.
-Why should you take the time to take notes and accurately record data at
each job location? - -Notes and recorded data are tools that can help you
accurately remember events at a site that can help you determine a plan of
action or evaluate the decisions you made.
-You are at a customer's home and you believe you have solved the
problem. When you check to be sure the resolution did not introduce any
new problems, which step are you using from the six-step troubleshooting
process? - -Verifying the solution.
-To break the habit of a negative self-talk cycle - -Tell yourself "not now"
and move onto a positive thought whenever negative thoughts occur.
-By taking control of the expectations you have, you are - -More likely to
improve your motivation and be a better problem solver.
-Which of the following characterizes the successful troubleshooter? - -
Someone with an inquisitive and relentless desire to solve and fix problems.
-What must a technician be aware of when analyzing a digital TV (DTV)
problem? - -There is frequently more than one contributor to a specific DTV
service problem.
