Fiber Optics 1-2-3
What are the parts of an optical fiber that are NOT strippable? - Answer-The part of an optical fiber that
is not strippable is the cladding.
Which is larger: a nanometer or a kilometer? - Answer-A kilometer is larger than a nanometer.
Does the failure to follow a code have legal ramifications? - Answer-Yes, the failure to follow a code has
legal ramifications.
Describe the two causes of intrinsic attenuation. - Answer-The two causes of intrinsic attenuation is
scattering, and then absorption.
Describe how microbending impacts fiber optic light transmission. - Answer-Microbending impacts fiber
optic light transmission by changing the light angle that causes light loss.
0 dBm is relative to how much power? - Answer-0 dBm is relative to 1 MW.
Fiber transmission takes place in what part of the optical spectrum? - Answer-Fiber transmission takes
place in the infirade part of the optical spectrum.
What is the term used to describe the bending of light as it passes through different transparent
mediums? - Answer-The term use to describe the bending of light as it passes through different
transparent mediums is refraction.
What term is used to describe the sum of all reflections returning back to the transmitter? - Answer-The
term used to describe the sum of all reflections returning back to the transmitter is ORL.
, what is a mode? - Answer-A mode is a discrete light path within the core of the fiber between the
transmitter and the receiver
which fiber has the highest possible bandwidth? - Answer-The fiber with the highest possible bandwidth
is OM4
different wavelengths of light travel at_______ speed through the fiber - Answer-different wavelengths
of light travel at Different speeds through the fiber
what decreases as the number of modes in a fiber increases - Answer-Wavelengths decrease as the
number of modes in fiber increase
