110 Multiple choice questions
Term 1 of 110
The National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) provides guidelines concerning which portion of
the fiber-optic cable network?
Standards for the color coding of fiber optic cables for identification purposes.
Maximum heights for installing fiber optic cables in residential areas.
Guidelines for the aesthetic arrangement of fiber optic cables in public spaces.
Minimum safety clearances between different conductors of overhead and underground
electric supply and communications lines.
Term 2 of 110
What is an option available on most optical nodes for connecting to the power supply?
Via a wireless connection that eliminates the need for physical cables.
By connecting to a backup generator that activates during outages.
Through a power cable that is connected from the power supply directly to the power
port of the node.
Using a solar panel that charges the node during daylight hours.
Term 3 of 110
When installing fiber-optic cable over coaxial cable, what should be done at the coaxial cable
expansion loops?
Secure the fiber-optic cable to the strand across the coaxial cable expansion loops
using plastic cable ties or support straps.
Wrap the fiber-optic cable in insulation at the expansion loops.
Use metal clamps to secure the fiber-optic cable to the coaxial cable.
Leave the fiber-optic cable loose to allow for expansion.
,Term 4 of 110
What is required of mechanical splices used for acceptance testing?
A mechanical splice used for acceptance testing should be simple to use and reusable.
A lead technician would likely document troubleshooting results.
A mechanical splice requires extensive training to operate effectively.
A mechanical splice must be complex to ensure accurate testing results.
Term 5 of 110
What is the purpose of the call list with regards to fiber-optic restorations?
To maintain a list of all equipment that is out of service.
To ensure that all staff members are aware of their lunch schedules.
To provide quick access to the proper departments and staff required for restorations.
To track the performance metrics of the restoration team.
Term 6 of 110
What step should be performed at the beginning of every fusion splicing operation?
A useful question might be, "What is the time allowance for service restoration from
notification of the problem to restored service?"
Make a number of test splices to set up the fusion splicer and to verify the instrument's
settings and calibration for both the environment and the type of fiber to be spliced.
A controlled environment such as a splicing van, trailer or tent and a stable work surface
that is large enough to accommodate the fusion splicer, tools, and the splice closure.
Water causes the glass core of the optical fiber to become opaque, which degrades the
signal as its transported through the fiber.
,Term 7 of 110
Which of these are concerns for radio frequency over glass (RFoG) and, fiber-to-the-x (FFTx)
systems?
Consideration of how and who will provide AC power to the optical network terminal
(ONT) at the customer premisis
Assessment of the bandwidth limitations of copper wiring in the network.
Evaluation of the environmental impact of fiber optic manufacturing processes.
Determination of the maximum distance for signal transmission over coaxial cables.
Term 8 of 110
Which type of passive optical network (PON) access architecture replaced asynchronous PON
(APON)?
Gigabit-capable PON (GPON)
Point to multipoint (p2mp)
Ethernet Pon (epon)
Fiber-to-the-home (ftth).
Term 9 of 110
What are some prerequisites before performing a fusion splice of optical fibers?
The offline type routes incoming power directly to connected devices and switches to
battery backup during a power interruption
Task options, which include range, pulse width, wavelength, measuring mode,
backscatter coefficient, and index of refraction.
Cable pulling tension and cable bend radius.
A controlled environment such as a splicing van, trailer or tent and a stable work surface
that is large enough to accommodate the fusion splicer, tools, and the splice closure.

The fixed V-Groove splicer.
The pulse width is set too long.
The pasprofile alignment system splicer.
Term 11 of 110
Which of the following is true about fiber network restoration planning?
The restoration plan should be kept secret to prevent unauthorized access.
Responsibility for update and control of the restoration plan document must be defined
or it will quickly become obsolete and useless.
All team members should independently create their own restoration plans.
The restoration plan must be updated only once a year regardless of changes.
Term 12 of 110
Which type of map contains node information?
Design Map
Strand Map
Fiber Assignments.
