What is the best approach to repairing an aerial fiber-optic drop cable for FTTx applications? - correct
answer Replace the entire section of fiber drop cable.
What is the difference between the FTTN and FTTC topologies? - correct answer An
FTTC is allowed a smaller number of RF amplifiers between the optical fiber and the customer premises.
What are the three categories of the fiber-optic cable used to identify the location of the fiber in the
network? - correct answer Trunk, branch, and drop
Which type of fiber topology used in a PON places the PON splitters at the headend while providing one
designated fiber for every customer premise? - correct answer Home-run
Which PON element uses patch panels? - correct answer ODN
What is the one main function of the FDH? - correct answer The FDH provides
effective fiber management by grouping splitters into local serving areas.
What is the purpose of the MST? - correct answer It provides access to connect fiber-
optic cable drops from the customer premises to the network.
What is the purpose of a fiber demarcation box? - correct answer It provides a safe
place to splice, split, distribute, store, and cross-connect fiber optics.
How are optical splitters used in the forward path? - correct answer As passive
branching devices that divide an optical signal across multiple output fibers.
What is the main benefit of deploying WDM technology? - correct answer It will
increase the capacity of the existing fiber networks tenfold without adding any more fiber.
