Fiber Installation and Activation EXAM
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\




QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS |\ |\




All fiber-optic communication systems must contain - CORRECT
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



ANSWERS ✔✔An optical fiber transmission medium
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\




The optical fiber core - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Transmits the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



optical signal, and its structure and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\




chemical makeup are critical to fiber operation.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Wavelengths used in a fiber-optic communication system -
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Include 1,310 nm and 1,550 nm in
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



single-mode transmission |\




systems.


As a lightwave enters an optical fiber, - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



✔✔Its speed decreases, and the lightwave refracts at an
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




angle.


Attenuation in fiber - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Can be caused by
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



absorption, scattering, macrobends, and
|\ |\ |\




fiber numerical aperture mismatch.
|\ |\ |\

,Which of the following is not an advantage of optical
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




fiber? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Fiber carries more electrical
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



current and radiates more
|\ |\ |\




energy than coaxial cable.
|\ |\ |\




Which of the following is true about light source selection
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




criteria? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Cost should never be a higher
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



concern than the quality of
|\ |\ |\ |\




the signal required to meet system performance.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Laser diodes - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Being applied for the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



upstream transmission from homes and
|\ |\ |\ |\




businesses are DFB lasers, due to the increased bandwidth
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




demands of voice and data services
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Which of the following is not true about optical detector
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




selection criteria? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Silicon is a more
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



suitable photodetector material than
|\ |\ |\




indium gallium arsenide for wavelengths of 1,310 or
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




1,550 nm.
|\

, Avalanche photodiode detectors - CORRECT ANSWERS |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



✔✔Require high stability power supplies because bias voltages
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




to create high electrical fields also must be high.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Fiber Optics - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Light transmission
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



through optical fibers for communications purposes.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Hybrid Fiber/Coax (HFC) - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔A broadband
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



cable system architecture that uses both fiber-optic and coaxial
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



cable.


Fiber to the home (FTTH) - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Distribution
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



of communication services by providing fiber-optic links all the way
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



to each house
|\ |\




Wavelength - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The length of a sinusoidal
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



wave form measured from any point on one wave, to the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



corresponding point on the next wave, such as from crest to crest. In |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



other words, a wavelength is the distance an electromagnetic wave
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



travels in the time it takes to oscillate through a complete cycle.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




In optical terms a wavelength and the frequency of light are
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



considered synonymous. Fiver-optic communications typically use
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\



850nm, 1310nm, 1,550 nm wavelengths for signal transport.
