BICSI
Administration - correct answer-Method for labeling, documentation, and usage
needed to implement moves, additions, and changes of the telecommunications
infrastructure
Alien Crosstalk - correct answer-Measure of unwanted signal coupling between
adjacent cabling or components
All-Thread-Rod - correct answer-A straight section of round rod stock that has
threads installed over its entire length. Also known as the threaded rod.
Anchor - correct answer-1. Fastening Device
2. In an outside plant environment, a device made up of a single plate or series of
flat plates and combined with a rod having a connecting eye
Architectural Structures - correct answer-Load bearing structures. Ie Walls, floor,
ceilings, roofs
Attenuation - correct answer-Decrease in magnitude of transmission signal strength
between points, expressed as ratio of output to input. Measured in decibels (dB)
usually at a specific frequency (copper) or wavelength (optical fiber), the signal
strength may be power or voltage
Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) - correct answer-Entities responsible for
interpretation and enforcement of local building and electrical codes.
Backboard - correct answer-Wooden or metal panel used for mounting connecting
hardware and equipment
Bacbone - correct answer-1. Facility (pathway, cable, conductors) between any of
the following spaces: telecommunication rooms, telecommunication enclosures,
common telecommunications rooms, floor-serving terminals, entrance facilities,
equipment rooms, and common equipment rooms.
2. In a data center, a facility (pathway, cable, conductor) between any of the following
spaces: entrance rooms or spaces, main distribution areas, horizontal distribution
areas, telecommunication rooms
Backbone Cabling - correct answer-Cable and connecting hardware that provides
interconnections between telecommunications rooms, equipment rooms, and
entrance facilities.
, Backbone Pathway - correct answer-The portion of the pathway system that permits
the placing of backbone cables between the entrance location and all cross-connect
points within a building and between buildings
Bandwidth - correct answer-1. Range of frequencies available for signaling
expressed in hertz
2. The information handling capability of a medium, expressed in units of frequency
(hertz)
Beam Clamp - correct answer-Device attached to a building structure to hold cable
supports or equipment
Bend Radius - correct answer-The radius of curvature that a media can bend without
signal degradation
Binder Group - correct answer-One of two or more bound copper pairs or optical
fiber strands within a cable..
Blueprint - correct answer-A reproduction of an architectural plan and/or technical
drawing that provides details of a construction project or an existing structure
Bonding - correct answer-The permanent joining of metallic parts to form an
electrically conductive path that will ensure electrical continuity and the capacity to
conduct safely any current likely to be imposed
Bonding Conductor - correct answer-Conducted used for bonding
Bonding Conductor for Telecommunications - correct answer-A conductor that
interconnects the building's service equipment (poweR) ground to the
telecommunications grounding system.
Braid - correct answer-A group of non-insulated conductors interwoven to surround
one or more insulated conductors
Bullwheel - correct answer-A large wheel used to maintain an arc when feeding large
cables into a backbone pathway
Bundle - correct answer-1. Many individual optical fibers contained within a single
jacket or buffer tube. Also, a group of buffered optical fibers distinguished in some
fashion from another group in the same cable core.
2. Also used to indicate time and common handling of multiple cables routed
together
