Lesson 2C Flashcards
Which grade or grades of fiber have a 62.5 micron core?
OM1
What type of fiber optic cable is suited for long distance links?
Single mode fiber (SMF).
Which fiber Ethernet standard is best suited to implementing backbone cabling that does not exceed 200 m (656 feet) and can achieve at least 4 Gbps throughput?
10GBASE-SR.
What maximum distance is defined in standards documentation for 1000BASE-LX running over MMF?
550 m (1804 feet). Note that 1000BASE-LX can run over MMF or SMF. SMF has much higher range.
You need to provision a fiber patch panel to terminate incoming cabling with green LC connectors. What type of ports should be provisioned on the patch panel?
Green connector color-coding indicates angled physical contact (APC) finishing. This type of finishing is incompatible with PC or UPC ports. The patch panel must be provisioned with Lucent Connector ports with APC finishing type.
Single Mode Fiber (SMF)
Fiber optic cable type that uses laser diodes and narrow core construction to support high bandwidths over distances of over 5 km.
Multimode Fiber (MMF)
Fiber optic cable type using LED or vertical cavity surface emitting laser optics and graded using optical multimode types for core size and bandwidth.
Optical Multimode (OM)
Classification system for multimode fiber designating core size and modal bandwidth
Straight Tip (ST)
Bayonet-style twist-and-lock connector for fiber optic cabling.
Subscriber Connector (SC)
Push/pull connector used with fiber optic cabling.
Mechanical Transfer Registered Jack (MTRJ)
Small form factor duplex fiber optic connector with a snap-in design.
Local Connector (LC)
Small form factor push-pull fiber optic connector; available in simplex and duplex versions.
Physical Contact (PC)
Fiber optic connector finishing type that uses a flat polish for the ferrule.
UltraPhysical Contact (UPC)
Fiber optic connector finishing type that uses a flat polish for the ferrule.
Angled Physical Contact (APC)
Fiber optic connector finishing type that uses an angled polish for the ferrule.
