Q

What is Insertion loss (Attenuation)

A

The measure of signal loss resulting from insertion of a component, link, or channel between a transmitter and receiver.

Measured in dB per unit length

As frequency or length increases, attenuation increases

Q

What is return loss?

A

The ratio of the power of the outgoing signal to the power of the reflected signal and is expressed in dB

Components that cause return loss include:
Media, connectors, receiver, and transmitter

17
Q

What are the TIA categories and performance frequencies?

A

Cat 3- 16MHz
Cat 5e- 100MHz
Cat6- 250MHz
Cat6A- 500MHz
Cat8- 2000MHz

18
Q

What are the three basic types of Crosstalk?

A

Near end crosstalk (NEXT)
Attenuation to crosstalk ratio, far end (ACR-F)
Alien Crosstalk (AXT)

19
Q

What is NEXT?

A

Measure of the unwanted signal coupling from a transmitter at the near end into another pair measured at the near end of the

20
Q

What is ACR-F?

A

The measure of the unwanted signal transfer that is assessed be applying a signal on pair at the near end and measuring the signal transfer level on any disturbed pair at the receiving end of the cable.

21
Q

What is AXT?

A

Unwanted signal coupling from a disturbing pair of a 4-pair cable channel, permanent link, or component to another pair in a different 4-pair channel, permanent link or component.

22
Q

Three predominant types of coaxial cable and their commonality?

A

Series-6 (RG-6)
Series-11 (RG-11)
Series 59 (RG-59)

Should have impedance of 75 ohms
Coated foil shield over the dielectric to shield against high frequency
Braided shield over the coated foil to shield to shield against low frequency

23
Q

What are the two types of fiber optic cable?

A

Singlemode and Multimode

24
Q

What grades of multimode are there?

A

OM2- not recommended for new install
OM3 laser optimized- higher bandwidth
OM4- highest multimode bandwidth optimized for 850 microns VCSEL
OM5- 850, 880, 910, 940 micron VSCEL for CWDM

Multimode has a 50 micron core and 125 micron cladding diameter.

25
Q

What are the characteristics of singlemode fiber?

A

Has a core diameter between 8 and 10.5 micron,

Commonly installed is OS2 - OSP, typically loose tube construction.

Wavelengths for OS1 and OS2 are 1310, 1383 and 1550 nanometers

26
Q

Optical fiber marking and its type

A

OFNP- Non-conductive optical fiber plenum
OFCP- Conductive optical fiber plenum
OFNR- Non-conductive optical fiber riser
OFCR- Conductive optic fiber riser
OFNG- Non-conductive optic fiber general-purpose
OFCG Conductive optic fiber general-purpose
OFN same as OFNG
