Progression: Field Tech II - III Conventional Exam 2024

Progression: Field Tech II - III Conventional Exam 2024 What is one reason why broadband cable operators install fiber-optic cable in stages instead of changing the infrastructure all at once? - Answer ️️ -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? - Answer ️️ -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)? - Answer ️️ -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? - Answer ️️ -Distributed star. Which element of a passive optical network (PON) uses a Bragg grating filter? - Answer ️️ - Optical line terminal (OLT). Which element of a passive optical network (PON) uses patch panels? - Answer ️️ -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)? - Answer ️️ -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? - Answer ️️ -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? - Answer ️️ -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? - Answer ️️ -Before stripping the plastic coating from the fiber. Which of the following are statements of true axioms? - Answer ️️ -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 = ? - Answer ️️ -E/R The square of 7 = - Answer ️️ -49 The square root of 81 = - Answer ️️ -9 0.00004 = ______ x 10 to the power of ______. - Answer ️️ -4, -5 (75 x 10 to the power of 3) + (25 x 10 to the power of 4) = - Answer ️️ -32.5 x 10 to the power of 4 10 to the power of -3 has a metric prefix of ______. - Answer ️️ -Milli (480 x 10 to the power of -5) divided by (60 x 10 to the power of -3) = - Answer ️️ -8 x 10 to the power of -2 (250 x 10 to the power of -6) - (7 x 10 to the power of -5) = - Answer ️️ -180 x 10 to the power of -6 (75 × 103) + (25 × 104) = - Answer ️️ -(*Wrong) 100 × 10^3 (-25) + (42) + (-62) + (20) = - Answer ️️ --25 (17) x (-19) = - Answer ️️ --323 (-17) - (-34) = - Answer ️️ -17 -49/-7 = - Answer ️️ -7 (20) / (-4) + (-2) x (-10) - (-2) x (7) = - Answer ️️
