What is one reason why broadband cable operators install fiber-optic cable in stages instead of changing the infrastructure all at once? - Changing the
... [Show More] infrastructure all at once would cause too many service disruptions.
What is the difference between the fiber-to-the-node (FTTN) and fiber-to-the-curb (FTTC) topologies? - An FTTC is allowed a smaller number of RF amplifiers between the optical fiber and the customer premises.
Which of these components is used in a passive optical network (PON)? - Optical splitters.
Which type of star topology used in a passive optical network (PON) places the PON splitters into fiber access terminal (FAT) located deep in the network and closer to the customer premises than the centralized split? - Distributed star.
Which element of a passive optical network (PON) uses a Bragg grating filter? - Optical line terminal (OLT).
Which element of a passive optical network (PON) uses patch panels? - Optical distribution network (ODN).
What is it about radio frequency over glass (RFoG) that made broadband cable operators envision using it to make a seamless transition from the legacy hybrid fiber/coax (HFC) architecture over to a gigabit-capable passive optical network (GPON) or Ethernet passive optical network (EPON)? - RFoG can operate in parallel with GPON or EPON, which eliminates the need for any downtime during the transition.
How are optical splitters used in the forward path? - In the forward path, optical splitters are used as passive branching devices that divide an optical signal across multiple output fibers.
Which of the following describes a fiber pigtail? - Fiber-optic cable with pre-connectorized ends.
Heat shrink tubing is installed over the fusion-splice to strengthen and protect it. When should the heat shrink be installed on the fiber? - Before stripping the plastic coating from the fiber.
Which of the following are statements of true axioms? - When A = C and B = C, then A = B because both are equal to C, which supports the axiom: Quantities equal to the same quantity are equal to each other.
