Fiber U OLAN Self-Study Lesson 5



 1. 

FTTO and passive OLANs generally use _______ connectors which are color-coded _____________.
A.
Singlemode, beige
B.
Singlemode PC, beige
C.
Singlemode APC, Green
D.
Any, blue
 

 2. 

Connectors on reference patchcords for testing OLAN singlemode cable plants must match the type of connector used on the cable plant, e.g. APC.
 

 3. 

FTTD (contralized fiber) links using MM fiber should be tested at _________nm.
A.
850
B.
1300
C.
1310
D.
1310 and 1490
 

 4. 

FTTO links using SM fiber should be tested at _________nm with a _____source.
A.
850, VCSEL
B.
1300, LED
C.
1310, laser
D.
1310 and 1490, laser
 

 5. 

The loss budget for a fiber optic cable plant includes __________.
A.
The loss of the total length of fiber
B.
The loss of all connectors and spices
C.
The loss of any passive devices like splitters
D.
All of these
 

 6. 

Passive OLANs transmit at 1310nm upstream and 1490nm downstream. Since most singlemode sources have 1310 and 1550nm lasers, it is acceptable to test at 1550nm instead of 1490nm.
 

 7. 

OTDR testing of passive optical LANs can be tricky because of  __________.
A.
The short lengths of cable in passive OLANs may be less than the OTDR's resolution
B.
Splitters have different traces upstream and downstream and may be hard to interpret
C.
OTDRs will not find installation-caused stress points if the cables use bend-insensitive fibers
D.
All of these
