●● 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
●● What 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 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)
●● 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.
●● Which of the following describes a fiber pigtail?
Answer: Fiber-optic cable with pre-connectorized ends.
●● (-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: 29
●● 3 6/9 + 6 1/3 + 9 5/9=
Answer: 19 5/9
●● 4/7 X 9 4/11=
Answer: 5 27/77
●● 8.13 X 0.123=
Answer: 0.99999
●● 0.5349 DIVIDED BY 0.1420=
Answer: 3.7669014
●● Which of the following is a method for controlling expectations?
Answer: Identify the source of emotional overload.
