DETAILED VERIFIED ANSWERS (100%) | ALREADY GRADED A+
66 block - Correct Answer -Popular for Voice applications, used in some small LAN installs, most are now
cat 5E compliant, available and 25 pair and 50 pair
110 block - Correct Answer -Used for both voice and data, available in 5100 300 and 900 pairs, requires
use of terminating clips or connection block
Coaxial cable - Correct Answer -Used with a series 6 and series 11, used for video applications,
incorporates a solid central conductor, insulated, resistance of 75 ohms
8P8C (RJ 45) - Correct Answer -Eight position eight contacts, Utilize for four pair cable termination
Patch panel - Correct Answer -Keep the sheets removal to a minimum, route from the rear towards the
IDC location, verify the pen/pair assignment, leave spare ports as required
Work area outlet - Correct Answer -Used in face plates and patch panels, must match the wiring
configuration of the patch panel

,Different types of fiber testers - Correct Answer -VFL, OLTS, OTDR
VFL - Correct Answer -Visual fault locator, A visible red laser designed to inject visible light energy into a
fiber brakes and faults will leak light
OLTS - Correct Answer -Optical loss test set, test for the total amount of light loss on the fiber link
OTDR - Correct Answer -Optical time domain reflector, verify loss at splice points and connectors
Pre-termination functions advantages - Correct Answer -improves quality of job, decreases required
time, adds to speed of testing, less rework
Pre-termination functions steps - Correct Answer -Review contract documents, organize cable I
destination, form and dress cables, determine the length in slack required, use proper cable management
hardware
IDC - Correct Answer -Insulation displacement contact, permits the transmission of an insulated
conductor without stripping the insulation

,How many degrees should an IDC connector be installed at - Correct Answer -45
IDC connector advantages - Correct Answer -Provides proper method and length of shealth removal,
avoid severe changes of twist rate
How far before the termination should you maintain the twist rate - Correct Answer -3 inches
Preparation for cable termination steps - Correct Answer -Route the cables for the Block, determine how
to properly access cable channels on the block, determine methods and lengths of sheath removal,
remove cable sheath to manufacturers specifications, separate identify entire binder groups if required,
fan out and form cable pairs from each cable and or binder group
66 block IDC termination procedure - Correct Answer -Step 1 - locate an install bracket on
telecommunication backboard,
step 2 - route the cables through the stand off bracket and out the sides and required positions,
step 3 - snap the 66 block into place on the stand off bracket,

, Step 4 - cut the cable to length apply proper label then remove appropriate length of cheating from the
cable,
Step 5 - Family first pair into the block maintaining the pair twist up to the point of termination,
Step 6 - hook each conductor into correct post,
Step 7 - repeat step five and step six for each of the remaining pairs while remaining proper color code,
Step 8 - using the 66 punch down blade terminate all conductors,
Step 9 - repeat steps four through eight for each cable,
Step 10 - route lacrosse connect wire through the same channel as the terminated cable pairs,
Step 11 - maintain the pair twist up to the point of termination
Step 12 - create a finger loop in the cross connect wire for slack
Step 13 - hook the cross connect wire on the correct post adjacent to the pair to be crossed connected
Step 14 - using the 66 block punch down blade terminate the cross connect wires
