|
Ground warning tag
|
|
446. Why is the LAN cabling grounded to the TBBC?
|
To provide for personnel safety, equipment protection, and noise reduction
|
|
446. What is installed in every intermediate cross-connect room of telecommunications closet to provide grounding for LAN cabling?
|
Telecommunications grounding bus bar
|
|
446. Where is the TMGB located?
|
In an accessible location within the entrance room
|
|
446. What is the preferred compression-type end connector used for terminating the ground conductor?
|
Two hole
|
|
446. How much separation from the mounting surface is required when installing a grounding bus bar?
|
2 inches
|
|
446. What are the two catagories of fire-stop systems?
|
mechanical and nonmechanical
|
|
446. For what do nonmechanical fire-stop systems provide protection?
|
Conduit and cable penetrations through concrete, and masonry, walls or floors; fiber optic cable with an innerduct through a concrete wall or floor, conduit and cable penetrations through gypsum (sheetrock) wallboards
|
|
447. What two reasons support the certification of LAN media?
|
First, it identifies and allows you to have cable problems corrected prior to accepting the LAN cables secondly, it provides a guarantee of the cable's transmission characteristics and serviceability
|
|
447. What five tests are accomplished on twisted pairs?
|
DC resistance, mutual capacitance, characteristic impedance, attenuation, and NEXT
|
|
447. What are the two tests you are responsible for on UTP and STP media?
|
Attenuation and near-end crosstalk
|
|
447. What causes attenuation?
|
Electrical characteristics of the wire transmission medium, terminations and cross-connects, and signal reflections caused by impedance mismatches
|
|
447. Why do cable manufactureers perform NEXT tests?
|
To classify the cable's performance category
|
|
447. What can be the causes of NEXT on an installed cable?
|
Poor cable termination practices or the excessive twisting and bending of the cable during installation
|
|
447. What type of tests are used for a 10Base2 LAN distribution system?
|
Characteristic impedance, attenuation, velocity of propagation, edge jitter, and DC loop resistance
|
|
447.When verifying the length of RG-58-series coaxial cables, why do you need to know the composition of the dielectric material used to separate the center conductor from the sheild?
|
To obtain the most accurate length measurement
|
|
447. What is the maximum dB loss per kilometer on a singlemode fiber optic backbone cable installed between two buildings?
|
0.5 DB
|
|
447. What are the two causes of return loss?
|
The quality of the manufactured cable and breaks in the fiber optic cables such as splices and terminations
|
|
446. Describe the conductor used for grounding.
|
No. 6 AWG copper conducter with a green outer insulation.
|
