This type of fiber architecture there is a single fiber coming from the hub that carriers all
of the optical signals

A

centralized split Archectecture

22
Q

This type of fiber architecture there are multiple splitters are distrubuted at various
locations outside of the plant

A

Distributed architecture

23
Q

This type of fiber architecture is similar to the tapped feeder
used in HFC networks

A

Distributed Tap architecture

24
Q

optical network failure

A

Connector contamination

25
Q

What are the 2 types of Fiber inspections

A

Proactive and reactive

26
Q

visually inspecting fiber connectors at every stage of
handling before mating them

A

Proactive

27
Q

visually inspecting fiber connectors after a problem is
discovered

A

Reactive

28
Q

The method most common to
clean fibers

A

Dry cleaning

29
Q

this cleaning process overly
saturare or flood the end face

A

Wet cleaning

30
Q

When splicing fiber the fiber
end must be cut with this

A

cleaver

31
Q

When splicing before adding the connector the end must
be

A

polished

32
Q

When stripping fiber don’t remove more than how many
inches at a time

A

2 inches

33
Q

This splice is when fibers are
join mechanically

A

Mechanical splice

34
Q

Mechanical splice has an
insertion loss of

A

.2-.25 dB

35
Q

This splice is accomplished by the application of localized heat sufficient to fuse or melt two lenghts of fiber forming a
single fiber

A

Fusion

36
Q

When a mechanical spice is completed, an air gap exist between the two fiber
creating a different

A

Index of Refraction

37
Q

Fusion splice has about this insertion loss

A

.01-.05 dB

38
Q

when cleaving the fiber leave on the minimum requirelength
of exposed fiber should be

A

less than 1/2 inch

39
Q

The ONU RF output power level is realated to the optical
input power by this rule

A

2 for 1

40
Q

ONU will not transmit unless it
can hear this

normally carries video signals

A

RFoG

42
Q

Before a splice or new connector is made the end face must be how many
degrees perpendiculat

A

1-2 degrees

43
