26
Q

What type of light is used for single-mode fiber, and what’s the max distance?

A

Laser, 100km

27
Q

What type of light is used for multi-mode fiber, and what’s the max distance?

28
Q

LC, its use, and connector style?

A

Local Connector, used for fiber, latch style

29
Q

ST, its use, and connector style?

A

Straight Tip, used for fiber, bayonet style twist on/off

30
Q

SC, its use, and connector style?

A

Subscriber Connector, used for fiber, push-pull snapping style

31
Q

MT-RJ, its use, and connector style?

A

Mechanical Transfer Registered Jack, used for dual-fiber, latch style

32
Q

RJ, its use, and connector style?

A

Registered Jack, used for copper, latch style

33
Q

Why use APC instead of UPC for fiber? What do these stand for?

A

Angle-Physical Contact and Ultra-Physical Contact. APC has an 8 degree angle to reflect light away, lowering return loss. UPC is flat, so there is more return loss from reflected light.

34
Q

What are RJ11 connectors commonly used for?

A

Telephone and DSL

35
Q

What type of connector is used for coaxial/RG-6 cables?

A

F-connector

36
Q

How do you convert copper signals to fiber and vice versa?

A

using a Media Convertor

37
Q

What are transceivers?

A

They are basically media convertors that plug-in into network devices.

38
Q

How many connections are in a basic transceiver and what do they do?

A

There are usually 2 connections. One for transmit and one for receive.

39
Q

What type of transceiver is used to transmit and receive on a single fiber? And how is this done?

A

BiDi, or Bi-Directional transceivers. The fiber carries two different wavelengths.

40
Q

What does SFP stand for?

A

Small Form-factor Pluggable

41
Q

What’s the bandwidth of SFP?

42
Q

What’s the bandwidth of SFP+?

43
Q

What’s the bandwidth of QSFP?

44
Q

What does QSFP stand for?

A

Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable

45
Q

What’s the bandwidth of QSFP+?

46
Q

Could you increase efficiency beyond QSFP and QSFP+? How?

A

Yes, by using BiDi QSFP and QSFP+ transceivers

47
Q

What does the + in SFP+ and QSFP+ stand for?

48
Q

Why is a patch panel/bay useful?

A

Because it allows you to organize all of the network cabling in one central location.

49
Q

What is the patch panel equivalent for fiber optics called?

A

Fiber Distribution Panel

50
Q

What are the differences between 66, 110, Krone, and BIX punchdown blocks?

A

66 Block is older and used primarily for voice communications up to Cat 3.

110 Block is used for modern data networks up to Cat 5e and 6.

Krone Block is the European standard similar to 110 Block.

BIX is the Canadian standard also similar to 110 Block.

57
Q

What do CWDM and DWDM stand for?

A

Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing

Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing

58
Q

What’s the difference between CWDM and DWDM? Spacing, Channels, and Distance type?

A

CWDM: 20nm wavelength spacing resulting in up to 18 channels, good for shorter distances

DWDM: 0.8nm wavelength spacing resulting in up to 160 channels, good for longer distances

59
Q

Fiber Speed standards

A

100/1000/10G/40G/100G

60
Q

Fiber Distance standards

A

S = Short
L = Long
E = Extended
Z = Very Extended

61
