IES EXAM QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS
Approved Equal - Answers -When an alternative product is being proposed by the AE
or the GC they shall require DCE review prior to product purchase.
AE - Answers -The professional person or architectural/engineering firm responsible for
the system design; and the development and preparation of these Specifications and
related Drawings. The use and intent of the term is also implied by the words "AE" and
"Engineer of record".
Basket Tray - Answers -Used in this Section shall mean a type of cable tray
manufactured from welded steel or stainless-steel wires into a basket pattern and
formed.
Bonding - Answers -The permanent joining of metallic parts to form an electrically
conductive path that will assure electrical continuity and the capacity to conduct safely
any current likely to be imposed.
Bonding Conductor for Telecommunications - Answers -A conductor that interconnects
the buildings service equipment (power) ground to the telecommunications grounding
system.
Cable Tray - Answers -A unit or assembly of units or sections and associated fittings
forming a structural system used to securely fasten or support cables and raceways.
(NEC 392.2). This term shall mean a metal, ladder-style open ventilated system with
side rails and ladder-rung bottom.
Contractor - Answers -Partnership or corporation to whom the Contract for the
Telecommunications work has been awarded.
Equipment Bonding Conductor - Answers -The copper conductor extending from the
equipment being grounded to the telecommunications main grounding busbar or the
telecommunications grounding busbar. Equipment may be electronic equipment
specified to be grounded, cable tray, ladder rack, equipment racks and cabinets, and
the like.
Fiber Duct - Answers -Or Fiber Runner as used in this Section shall mean a raceway
channel system manufactured from flame-resistant PVC and ABS materials designed
specifically to route fiber optic cables, patch cords and multi-fiber cable assemblies.
, Furnish - Answers -In the Specifications and on the Drawings shall mean "to supply
and deliver to project site, ready for installation"
Ground - Answers -A conducting connection, whether intentional or accidental between
an electrical circuit or equipment and the earth, or to some conducting body that serves
in place of the earth.
Grounding Electrode Conductor - Answers -The conductor used to connect the
grounding electrode to the equipment grounding conductor, or to the grounded
conductor of the circuit at the service equipment, or at the source of a separately
derived system.
Grounding Electrode System - Answers -an electrode(s) as specified in ANSI/NFPA 70
(NEC), Article 250 Part H
Horizontal Cable - Answers -The cabling between and including the
telecommunications outlet/connector and the horizontal cross-connect located in the
indicated Cable Room For Wireless LAN applications in the Data Center COLO, the
cross connect exists at the interface of the AP and SMA-N adapter cable.
High Density Polyethylene Duct (HDPE) - Answers -Refers to the duct the OSP cabling
shall traverse through. The duct is typically 4" (100mm) Outer Diameter with ribbed
internal sides to reduce friction on the fiber cables. This is typically installed from a
coiled roll to reduce the number of joints in the ducts.
Innerduct - Answers -a single or multi-compartment raceway system intended to be
installed within a larger duct in order to provide several inner raceways. Often consists
of round corrugated or non-corrugated high density polyethylene (HPDE) in sizes
ranging from ½" (12mm) to 2" (50mm) placed into the larger duct in multiple size
configurations. Also available in multi-cell fabric systems with various sized
compartments. Primary use to allow multiple optical fibers to be placed into a larger duct
at different times.
Install - Answers -To place in position, and to connect complete per factory instructions,
ready for service or use.
Outside Plant - Answers -Telecommunications infrastructure designed for installation
exterior to buildings.
Owner/Owner's Representative - Answers -The person/team designated to administer
the terms and conditions of the Plans and Specifications after the contract award and
during the construction or installation phase on behalf of the entity "Microsoft". This
person/team will include the specific engineering personnel from Microsoft DCE
Telecommunications working on this project.
