cct5 Flashcards
A detailed, thorough analysis of all ofthe features currently existing at a customer site.
Site Survey
Known as NFPA 70, this is a standard for the safe installation of electrical wiring and equipment. It is part of the National Fire Codes series published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).
National Electrical Code (NEC)
The process of determining the route of cable through a building.
Installing Pathways
The vertical and horizontal route of the telecommunications cable.
Pathway
Cable and connecting hardware that interconnectsbetween telecommunications rooms,equipment rooms, and entrance facilities.
Backbone Cable
A panel (e.g., wood or metal)used for mounting connecting hardware andequipment.
Backboard
Any enclosed channel designedfor holding wires or cables.
Raceway
A tubular rigid or flexible metallicor non-metallic raceway through whichcables can be pulled.
Conduit
True or False:Horizontal cables can rest on drop ceilings.
False
A support mechanism used to route and support telecommunications cable or power cable. Typically, these are equipped with sides that allow cables to be placed within the sides over its entire length.
Cable Trays
Wire management ring made of metal or plastic, and shaped like the letter D for routing and supporting distribution cables and/or cross-connections on a backboard.
D-Ring
A right to use another person’s real estate fora specific purpose. The most common type is the right to travel over another person’s land, known as a right-of-way.
Easement
Cable that runs from the telecommunications room to a device. It may be installed in either a horizontal or vertical plane.
Horizontal Cable
Association that writes and administers the NationalElectrical Code.
NFPA (National Fire Protection Association)
A designated area used for transport ofenvironmental air as part of the air distribution system.Because it is part of the air distribution system, cablesinstalled in this space require a higher fire rating.
Plenum
Cable that is run in the plenum spaces ofbuildings.
Plenum Cable
Group of computers that communicate as if they were attached to the same wire, regardless of their physicallocation.
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network)
Has the same attributes as a physical LAN, but allows for computers to be grouped together even if they are notlocated on the same LAN.
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network)
A broadcast domain created by switches.
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network)
When a groups of users need to be on the same broadcast domain because they are running the same applications, what can a customer’s IT vendor implement?
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network)
• Employees of a company use this to connect from a remote location into their office. This can be useful when employees are traveling or are a telecommuter.
VPN (Virtual Private Network)
Why not just subnet the network instead of using VLAN’s?
With a VLAN, devices in different physical locations can be on the same local area network.
If a company has locations that they wish to join in a single private network, they can create an this type of VPN to connect LAN to LAN.
Intranet-based VPN
When a company has a close relationship with another company, they can build an this type of VPN that connects LAN to LAN.
Extranet-based VPN
Most VPNs rely on this to create a private network that reaches across the Internet. This is the process of placing an entire packet within another packet and sending it over a network.
Tunneling
A large business is any business with greater than how many users?
50 users
A device that provides hotel management with the ability to monitor the network and directs the user to the hotel’s designated first page/splash screen.
IP3 Net Server
Also known as a channel deletion filter, this device deletes unused channel and inserts local feed for subscription channel.
Notch Filter
This happens when a TV signal (of the same frequency and video content) arrives at a receiver just before, or just after, the desired TV signal.
Ghosting
This is the ghosting type that appears to the left of the picture.
Following Ghost
This is the ghosting type that appears to the right of the picture.
Leading Ghost
This is caused in one channel by the carrier from another transmitter operating on the same channel.
Co-channel Interference
A method of reception using an RF current of the proper magnitude and phase relation so the received voltage is of the same nature as the original wave.
Zero Beat
Ingress from transmitters operating in the upstream frequency bandwidth with the majority of ingress entering the system between the tap and the customer’s TV set.
Return Path Interference
At any temperature above absolute zero, this is caused by random electron activity of the atoms that make up the conductor, resistor, or any part of the passive circuit in question.
Thermal Noise
Change in “termination noise” amounts to approximately ___ dB per 20 degree Fahrenheit change in temperature.
0.17 dB
In cable TV, we use ___ degrees Fahrenheit (293.15 degrees Kelvin) as our temperature of reference.
68 degrees Fahrenheit
Another source of interference that affects the return path, but is not ingress related, is ___..
Common Path Distortion (CPD)
A chemical change caused by a reaction to oxygen such as rust.
Oxidation
What are the four types of maps used in cable network design?
- Base Map2. Strand Map3. Design Map4. Amplifier Schematics or Tree Maps
This type of map resembles a street map, complete with features like lakes and rivers, streets, and boundaries.
Base Map
This type of map shows the locations of the electronic equipment, including the head-end and any hubs, also amplifiers, power supplies, and taps.
Design Map
This type of map also includes symbols indicating the other service companies using a pole, such as the power company, the telephone company, or both.
Strand Map
This type of map provides the layout of the system in a condensed form. They typically show how active devices are cascaded and how they connect to the head end, hub, or node. Power supply boundaries are alsonoted.
Amplifier Schematic or Tree Map
This is the name of a corrected map.
As-Built map
The numbering system used to catalogue your system maps.
Map Grid System
Sending AC voltage from two different power supplies, causing a large spark.
Bucking Power
The first priority when installing or replacing a dropis:
Safety
This compensates for cable non-linearity
Equalizer
The part of the Optical Fiber that transmits light
The Core
A “leading” Ghost image is usually due to:
Signal Ingress
QAM
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
This is caused by random electron activity
Thermal Noise
The most likely system components to cause waveform distortions are:
Amplifiers
When using a Tone Generator, always:
Disconnect from the Tap before use
TDR
Time Domain Reflectometer
CRAN
Converged Regional Area Network
A Fiber Link System is made up of what three components?
Cable, Transmitter, Receiver
The wavelengths of light used in Broadband Communications are:
1310nm and 1550nm
This connects directly to the IP3 server via an Ethernet cable.
MPG (MegaPort Gateway)
This is a custom Ethernet Network that allows customers to seamlessly link multiple locations together and exchange data up to 1Gb per second.
ENS (Ethernet Network Service)
Symmetrical dedicated Internet bandwidth that is configurable.
Tailored Bandwidth
This routing protocol supports multihoming with load balancing for faster, more efficient routing between networks.
BGP Routing Protocol
Through this connectivity type, any site can send traffic to any other site, within a customer’s network, through a single Ethernet interface.
Any-to-any connectivity
In general, if the building has wooden exterior siding, you will drill from:
Inside to Outside
For building with exteriors like brick, shingles, stucco, and tile, try to drill carefully from:
Outside to Inside
This cable shall be used in vertical shafts and from floor to floor in multistory buildings.
CATVR (Riser)
This cable shall be suitable for general purpose use with the exception of plenums and risers.
CATV (V-Rated)
This is installed in each guest room to convert the coaxial signal back to Ethernet over CAT5. It also provides a connector for the coaxial cable thatruns to the television.

CCT5 stands for:
Customer CommTech 5
This hospitality device has 6 or 12 cable cards.
