Red - Blue, orange, green, brown, slate
Black - Blue, orange, green, brown, slate
Yellow - Blue, orange, green, brown, slate
Violet - Blue, orange, green, brown, slate


Fiber color code - CORRECT ANSWER-Blue, Orange, Green, Brown, Slate, White, Red, Black,
Yellow, Violet, Rose, Aqua


NVP - CORRECT ANSWER-Nominal Velocity of Propagation


Insertion loss - CORRECT ANSWER-The difference in the amount of power received before
and after something is inserted into the circuit.


Resistance - CORRECT ANSWER-Resistance is expressed in Ohms, and is the property of a
conductor to resist the flow of electricity through it. V=IR


Inductance - CORRECT ANSWER-Is a property of an electromagnetic field built around a
conductor that opposes any change in the current flow in a circuit


Capacitance - CORRECT ANSWER-is a property of conductors that allows storage of electric
charges when potential differences exist between the conductors.

,Impedance (V) - CORRECT ANSWER-Total opposition of current flow measured in Ohms


American Wire Gauge (AWG) - CORRECT ANSWER-A standard rating that indicates the
diameter of a wire, such as the conducting core of a coaxial cable or the twisted pairs in a
UTP cable.


Megahertz (MHz) - CORRECT ANSWER-one million hertz, especially as a measure of the
frequency of transmissions


Megabit (Mb) - CORRECT ANSWER-Approximately one million bits. Often used as a
measurement of data transfer throughput.


Bandwidth - CORRECT ANSWER-The amount of data that can be transmitted over a network
in a given amount of time.


Decibel (dB) - CORRECT ANSWER-A unit used to compare the loudness of different sounds.


Crosstalk - CORRECT ANSWER-when data bleeds from one pair to another in a cable


Alien Crosstalk (AXT) - CORRECT ANSWER-Unwanted signal coupling from one permanent
link to another


USOC - CORRECT ANSWER-Universal Service Order Code


Coaxial cable types - CORRECT ANSWER-Series-6 and Series-11


Coaxial connectors - CORRECT ANSWER-Series-6 uses BNC and F connectors
Series-11 uses F and N connectors


Fiber connectors - CORRECT ANSWER-SC, ST, and SST(LC or

, cladding - CORRECT ANSWER-The glass or plastic shield around the core of a fiber-optic
cable. Cladding reflects light back to the core in patterns that vary depending on the
transmission mode. This reflection allows fiber to bend around corners without impairing
the light-based signal.


Multimode Fiber (MMF) - CORRECT ANSWER-Larger core with multiple paths of light.
Common for backbone and horizontal cabling in buildings. OM2 - Not recommended for new
installs. OM3 - Higher bandwidth. OM4 - Highest bandwidth for MMF. 2000m/6500ft
limitation. 850 nm and 1300 nm (nanometers)


Singlemode Fiber - CORRECT ANSWER-Smaller core with only one path of lights. Horizontal,
riser, campus environments.
9 um core, 125 um cladding.
OS1 - LAN, tight buffered construction, 1310/1550 nm
OS2 - Outside Plant, 1310, 1490, 1550, 1625 nm
3000m/9842ft limtations.


Ribbon Fiber - CORRECT ANSWER-Multiple 250 um fibers bonded into a flat color coded
ribbon. Can splice a bunch at a time.


Fiber - Tight buffer diameter - CORRECT ANSWER-900 um


Fiber - Acrylate coating diameter - CORRECT ANSWER-250 um


OM1 - CORRECT ANSWER-850 nm OFL - 200 MHz•km (3.5dB/km)
1300 nm - 400 MHz•km (1.5dB/km)


OM2 - CORRECT ANSWER-850 nm OFL - 500MHz•km (3.5dB/km)
1300nm - 500MHz•km (1.5dB/km)


OM3 - CORRECT ANSWER-850 nm OFL - 1500MHz•km (3.5dB/km)
850 nm RFL - 2000MHz•km (3.5dB/km)
