Question 4

A campus is a required identifier for which class(es) of telecommunications administration?

a. Class 4
b. Class 3 and higher
c. Class 2 and higher
d. All classes

Answer 4

a. Class 4

p 10-6 Table 10.1

Note, Class 3 only classifies Campus (interbuilding) backbone cable and Campus backbone termination position, pair, or strand and NOT CAMPUS. CAMPUS is for Class 4.

Question 5

When determining the minimum class of administration required, the ____ of telecommunications spaces is one indicator of complexity.

a. Locations
b. Contents
c. Type
d. Number

Answer 5

d. Number

p 10-4

The most relevant factors in determining the minimum class of administration is the size and complexity of the infrastructure.

The number of telecommunications spaces (e.g., ER, TR, EF) is one indicator of complexity.

Question 6

Which one of the following is required information for the administration record of the Cabinet, Rack, Frame, or Wall Segment component in the Spaces and Pathways category?

a. Manufacturer and part number
b. Available space
c. Total space
d. Cabinet identifier

Answer 6

d. Cabinet identifier

p 10-8 Table 10.2

Also required:

• Space record
• Cable record

Question 7

ANSI/TIA-606-B specifies the records required by class of administration. Telecommunications space records are required for all classes of administration.

a. True
b. False

Answer 7

b. False

p 10-37 Table 10.5

Note, this differs from Table 10.1 on page 10-6. Table 10.1 states ALL CLASSES. Since the question specifically calls out ANSI/TIA-606-B, go with FALSE, per Table 10.5.

Question 8

The administration of pathways and spaces, and outside plant elements is recommended for buildings larger than:

a. 10,000 square meters (107, 645 square feet)
b. 7000 square meters (75,347 square feet)
c. 5000 square meters (53, 820 square feet)

Answer 8

b. 7000 square meters (75,347 square feet)

p 10-4

Classes are scalable and allow expansion without requiring changes to existing identifiers or labels. For mission-critical systems, buildings larger than ≈7000 m2 (75,347 ft2) or multi-tenant buildings, administration of pathways and spaces and OSP elements is recommended.

Question 9

ANSI/TIA-606-B specifies the records required by class of administration. Building backbone cable records are only required for class 3 and higher of administration.

a. True
b. False

Answer 9

b. False

p 10-6 Table 10.1

Is also required for Class 2 and higher.

Question 10

The class of telecommunications administration system recommended for a campus environment is:

a. Class 1
b. Class 2
c. Class 3
d. Class 4

Answer 10

c. Class 3

p 10-5

Class 3 administration addresses the needs of a campus, including its buildings and OSP elements.

Note, Table 10.1 states otherwise.

Question 11

The administration of pathways and spaces, and outside plant elements is recommended for buildings larger than:

a. 10,000 m2 (107, 645 ft2)
b. 7000 m2 (75,347 ft2)
c. 5000 m2 (53, 820 ft2)

Answer 11

b. 7000 m2 (75,347 ft2)

p 10-4

For mission-critical systems, buildings larger than ≈7000 m2 (75,347 ft2) or multi-tenant buildings, administration of pathways and spaces and OSP elements is recommended.

Question 12

Which one of the following is an optional identifier for a class 1 telecommunications administration system?

a. Secondary bonding busbar (SBB)
b. Primary bonding busbar (PBB)
c. Telecommunications bonding backbone (TBB)
d. Telecommunications bonding conductor (TBC)

Answer 12

c. Telecommunications bonding backbone (TBB)

p 10-6 Table 10.1

Question 13

Which one of the following is optional information for the administration record of the Primary Bonding Busbar (PBB) component in the Bonding and Grounding (Earthing) category?

a. Date of measurement
b. GEC identifier
c. Busbar type
d. PBB connection positions

Answer 13

d. PBB connection positions

p 10-11 Table 10.2

Question 14

The administration of cabling pathways in a class 2 telecommunications administration system is:

a. Required
b. Optional

Answer 14

b. Optional

p 10-4

The presence of cabling pathways may be assumed, so the administration of these elements is optional.

a. True
b. False

Answer 16

a. True

p 10-10 Table 10.2

Question 17

Which one of the following is part of the security metric to consider in selecting the appropriate labels for an administrative system?

a. Tamper resistance
