Study Guide To FOA Certification (with 100% correct answers)

Study Guide To FOA Certification (with 100% correct answers) Which fiber optic connector may be used according to the EIA/TIA 568 cabling standard? ANS-Any connector with a FOCIS standards document What UTP Cat 3, Cat 5e, and Cat 6 or Class D, E, and F rating indicate? ANS-The Performance level of unshielded twisted pair cable Commerical phone systems (not VoIP but POTS) traditionally use multipair UTP cables for backbone connections with _running_____used in the telecom closet for connections to horizontal cables running to the desktop. ANS-66 Punchdown blocks TIA Cat 5e or "enhanced Cat 5' cable or ISO/IEC Class D cable was introduced to support the needs of what the computer network? ANS-Gigabet Ethernet For certifying Cat 5e/Class D Performance, installed cables are tested at ________. ANS-100 MHz Category 6/Class E cabling is specified and must be tested during certification to _______MHz. ANS-250 MHz A copper time domain reflectometer (TDR) can be used to find_________. ANS-All of these When terminating Cat5e/6 or Class D/E UTP cabling, what must be remembered to maintain the performance of the installed cable? ANS-Keep the pairs twisted to within 1/2 inch of the termination Which punchdown block is more often used with multipair cables for POTS (plain old telephone service) connections? ANS-Bix block Standards are written by manufacturers as minimum specifications to ensure interoperability among various manufacturer's products. ANS-True While video surveillance systems traditionally used coax cable, they can use UTP in a structured cabling system or fiber optics also. ANS-True Gigabit and faster networks only work fiber optics. ANS-False Fiber optic installations do not require inspection for compliance to local building or electrical codes since they do not contain copper wires. ANS-False The US National Electrical Code (NEC) requires removal of all "abandoned" communications cabling for fire safety. ANS-True The international standards include a Class F cable for highest performance networks that some manufacturers sell in the US as Category 7, but it is not currently a US standard. ANS-True The name for the current generation UTP cable for use with 10 Gigabit network is _______. ANS-Cat 7 Voice grade unshielded twisted pair cables (UTP) which are only intended to carry POTS (plain old telephone service) only need testing for_________. ANS-Wiremap
