| Do you know that these two little tools could be your best "friends" when testing and troubleshooting? DO YOU KNOW HOW TO USE THEM PROPERLY! |
Do you know how to use the test
equipment to the right to determine
which connector yields the higher
loss on a segment of fiber?

"So - you think you are a knowledgeable fiber optics
tech do you? OK let see. Answer all of the questions
below correctly without looking up the answers on the
internet. If you can answer them all, then you get 4 star
recognition - whatever that is."

1.) Per ANSI/EIA/TIA-568B.3, what is the maximum attenuation allowed per
mated pair of connectors? What is the maximum attenuation allowed for a
mechanical splice?
2.) Which multimode fiber cable provides for 10GbE at 300 meters?
3.) How does one perform a Link Loss Budget Analysis for a fiber optic
system? In other words - how does one analyze the resulting attenuation
of a fiber segment? Is the Power too high or is it too low and what does a
good technician do about it in both respects?
4.) Using a Power Source & Light Meter, do you know how to determine
which connector has the higher attenuation when testing a fiber segment?
5) Do you know how to use a Bare Fiber Adapter and a VFL?
6.) Do you know how to read an OTDR Trace? If so - what is a Gainer?
What are LSA's?
7.) What is the maximum pulling tension for installing indoor fiber optics
cable?
8.) Considering reference cables, can you explain Method B? Can you
explain Method A?
9.) What are the 4 elements that make up a fiber optic transmission system?
10.) Erbium-doped optical fiber is used for what purpose?
