Chapter 10 Flashcards
Administration
The methodology defining the
documentation requirements of
a cabling system and its
containment, the labeling of
functional elements, and the
process by which moves,
additions, and changes (MACs)
are recorded. (ISO)
TDMM.* Page G-5
AIM
Automated Infrastructure
Management
Hardware/software system that
documents, monitors, and
automates the management of
information technology.
TDMM.* Page 10-38
Cable Labeling
System
A scheme employed when
identifying communications
cable or its associated
hardware.
TDMM: Page G-28
Identifier
An item of information that links
a specific element of the
telecommunications
infrastructure with its
corresponding record. (T IA)
TDMM.* Page G-94
Labeling System
A methodology which allows
unique identifiers to be assigned
to all elements of an ICT
infrastructure.
TDMM.* Page G-705
RFID
Radio Frequency Identification
Technologies that use radio
waves to automatically identify
people or objects.

manage administration
systems.
1 .Paper-based system
2.General-purpose spreadsheet

What is the minimum
recommended record
keeping system?
Spreadsheet
TDMM.* Page 10-3
Name the 2 most relevant
factors for determining the
minimum class of
administration for a
telecommunications
infrastructure.
- Size of the infrastructure
2.Complexity of the infrastructure
TDMM.* Page 10-4
What is the minimum class
of administration that
should be used to
administer cabling
pathways?
Class 2
TDMM.* Page 10-4
REQUIRED or OPTIONAL?
Are backbone cabling,
multiple element bonding
and grounding systems,
and firestopping required
or optional identifiers in a
Class 2 administration?
1 .Backbone cabling
2.Multi-element grounding and
bonding (earthing) systems
3.Firestopping
TDMM.* Page 10-4
True or False
Class 4 administration
systems may be managed
with a paper-based system.
True. All systems of all classes
can be managed with a paper-
based system; however, paper-
based systems are not
recommended.
TDMM.* Page 10-5
Name 2 requirements for
identifiers in an identifier
per the
Iso/lEc 14763-2 standard.
1 .Must be unique within the
administration system
2.Must explicitly define the
element to which they refer
TDMM.* Page 10-7
Name the 3 basic elements
of an administration
system as described
by the TDMM.
1 .Labeling or other means of
identifying the infrastructure
components and equipment
2.Recordkeeping system
3.Identifier scheme
TDMM.* Page 10-7
Name 4 factors to consider
when choosing a
labeling scheme.
1 .Size of the administration
system
2.Whether it is for an old or new
building or building complex
3. Type of components and
equipment used and planned
4.Owner’s preference
TDMM.* Page 10-12
Name 3 types of
information that should be
included in the identifier for
a telecommunications
cabling pathway.
1 . Type of pathway followed by a
sequential number
2.Floor in multi-story building
3.Campus zone numbers for
underground pathways on large
campuses
TDMM.* Page 10-14
What is the purpose of
adding colored tapes,
labels, or tags to
a cable?
Acts as an aid in troubleshooting
by providing information about
the basic function of the cable
TDMM.* Page 10-16
True or False
Cables shall be labeled on
both ends with the cable
identifier.
True. Cables shall be labeled
on both ends with the
cable identifier.
TDMM.* Page 10-16
True or False
All patch panels have
manufacturer-provided
label fields to support
administration efforts.
False. Many patch panels do not
have manufacturer-provided
label fields and have very little
room for patch panel labels.
