BICSI INSTALLATION QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ALL
CORRECT RECENT UPDATES 2025.
◉ FP Drawing. Answer:Fire Protection Drawing. Indicates the size and route of fire suppression
system piping and associated fire suppression agent heads and nozzles within the structures.
◉ M Drawing. Answer:Mechanical Drawing. Indicates the size and route of the HVAC system
ducts, air handler units, chilled water piping, and refrigerant piping within the structures.
◉ P Drawing. Answer:Plumbing Drawing
◉ S drawing. Answer:Structural Drawing. A drawing that indicates the location of all
components of the building structure itself.
◉ Scope of work. Answer:contract document for the project that covers the requirements for
the ICT systems team. Lists all of the elements of installation and it is usually generated by the
customer or the designer.
◉ T Drawing. Answer:telecommunications, security, and Audiovisual drawing.
◉ T0 Drawing. Answer:Campus or site plans
◉ T1 Drawing. Answer:Layout of complete building per floor
◉ T2 Drawing. Answer:Serving Zones
◉ T3 Drawing. Answer:Communication equipment rooms
◉ T4 Drawing. Answer:Typical detail drawings
◉ T5 Drawing. Answer:Schedules for Cutovers
, ◉ RFI Form. Answer:
◉ American Wire Gauge (AWG). Answer:A system used to provide a standard reference for
comparing various physical demensions of conductor materials. The greater the wire diameter
the smaller the AWG value.
◉ Attenuation. Answer:The decrease in magnitude or the power loss of a signal that propagates
between two points, expressed in (dB) as the ratio of received signal to transmitted signal level.
◉ Bandwidth. Answer:The information-carrying capacity of a system. Expressed in the range of
analog frequencies (e.g. 0Hz to 1 MHz) that can be transported or processed by the system.
◉ Capacitance. Answer:A property of conductors that allows storage of electrical charges when
potential differences (voltages) exist between the conductors. Measured in farads (F).
◉ Crosstalk. Answer:The unwanted transfer of a signal's electromagnetic energy from one or
more circuits to other circuits.
◉ Impedance (Z). Answer:The total opposition to current flow is called ________. Measured in
ohms.
◉ Inductance. Answer:The property of an electromagnetic field built around a conductor that
opposes any changes in current flow in a circuit, both AC and varying DC. The basic unity of
inductance is a Henry (H).
◉ Insertion loss. Answer:The measure of signal loss resulting from the insertion of a
component, or link, or channel, between a transmitter and receiver (often referred to as
attenuation).
◉ Nominal Velocity of Propagation (NVP). Answer:A ratio of the speed of transmission along a
cable relative to the speed of light in a vacuum. It is often stated in percentages.
◉ Resistance. Answer:The property of a conductor to resist the flow of electricity through it.
Expressed in ohms.
◉ Return Loss. Answer:A ratio of the power of the outgoing signal to the power of the reflected
signal. Expressed in decibels.
