{latest 2026 -2027 update} questions and
answers 100% correct
What is the difference between the fiber-to-the-node (FTTN) and fiber-to-the-curb
(FTTC) topologies? - correct 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)? - correct
answer Optical splitters.
Which 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? - correct answer Distributed star.
,Which element of a passive optical network (PON) uses a Bragg grating filter? -
correct answer Optical line terminal (OLT).
Which element of a passive optical network (PON) uses patch panels? - correct
answer Optical distribution network (ODN).
What is it about radio frequency over glass (RFoG) that made broadband 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)? - correct answer RFoG can operate in
parallel with GPON or EPON, which eliminates the need for any downtime during the
transition.
,How are optical splitters used in the forward path? - correct answer In the forward
path, optical splitters are used as passive branching devices that divide an optical
signal across multiple output fibers.
Which of the following describes a fiber pigtail? - correct answer Fiber-optic cable
with pre-connectorized ends.
Heat shrink tubing is installed over the fusion-splice to strengthen and protect it. When
should the heat shrink be installed on the fiber? - correct answer Before stripping the
plastic coating from the fiber.
Which of the following are statements of true axioms? - correct answer When A = C
and B = C, then A = B because both are equal to C, which supports the axiom: Quantities
equal to the same quantity are equal to each other.
, Simplify and solve the equation: If E = IR then I = ? - correct answer E/R
The square of 7 = - correct answer 49
The square root of 81 = - correct answer 9
0.00004 = ______ x 10 to the power of ______. - correct answer 4, -5
(75 x 10 to the power of 3) + (25 x 10 to the power of 4) = - correct answer 32.5 x 10 to
the power of 4
10 to the power of -3 has a metric prefix of ______. - correct answer Milli
(480 x 10 to the power of -5) divided by (60 x 10 to the power of -3) = - correct answer
8 x 10 to the power of -2
