FOA- Fiber Optic Certification Exam
No fiber optic cable needs to be grounded - CORRECT ANSWER-False - any electronic
material must be grounded
The cladding is the portion of the fiber you are removing during stripping - CORRECT
ANSWER-The buffer is what you take off
Single mode fiber cables are usally color coded in gray - CORRECT ANSWER-Fase -
Yellow
Loose tube may require the instalation of what - CORRECT ANSWER-Breakout kit
Laser optimized OM3 and OM4 multimode fiber with a 50/125 micron core gives more
distance with gigabit networks - CORRECT ANSWER-True
Composite cables have only fiber - CORRECT ANSWER-false- they also have copper
Orange cable contains multimode fiber - CORRECT ANSWER-True
Aqua color indicates laser optimized OM3 or OM4 fiber - CORRECT ANSWER-True
The testing phase of a project is when you do loss/budget anaylisis - CORRECT
ANSWER-False - should be done in the planning stage
Distribution cables use mass fusion splicing - CORRECT ANSWER-False- Ribbion
cable uses mass fusion
50/125 microns represents a single mode fiber size - CORRECT ANSWER-False-
Single mode fiber is 8/10 microns
Multimode Fiber has a greater bandwidth than single mode fiber - CORRECT
ANSWER-False - Single mode has less dispersion: more bandwidth
The 9 portion of the 9/125 fiber represents cladding size, the diameter in microns -
CORRECT ANSWER-False 9= core size
