BICSI Installer 1 Study Guide with Complete Solutions 25-pair color code - Correct Answer White - Blue, orange, green, brown, slate Red - Blue, orange, green, brown, slate Black - Blue, orange, green, brown, slate Yellow - Blue, orange, green, brown, slate Violet - Blue, orange, green, brown, slate Fiber color code - Correct Answer Blue, Orange, Green, Brown, Slate, White, Red, Black, Yellow, Violet, Rose, Aqua NVP - Correct Answer Nominal Velocity of Propagation Insertion loss - Correct Answer The difference in the amount of power received before and after something is inserted into the circuit.Resistance - Correct Answer Resistance is expressed in Ohms, and is the property of a conductor to resist the flow of electricity through it. V=IR Inductance - Correct Answer Is a property of an electromagnetic field built around a conductor that opposes any change in the current flow in a circuit Capacitance - Correct Answer is a property of conductors that allows storage of electric charges when potential differences exist between the conductors.Impedance (V) - Correct Answer Total opposition of current flow measured in Ohms American Wire Gauge (AWG) - Correct Answer A standard rating that indicates the diameter of a wire, such as the conducting core of a coaxial cable or the twisted pairs in a UTP cable.Megahertz (MHz) - Correct Answer one million hertz, especially as a measure of the frequency of transmissions Megabit (Mb) - Correct Answer Approximately one million bits. Often used as a measurement of data transfer throughput.Bandwidth - Correct Answer The amount of data that can be transmitted over a network in a given amount of time.Decibel (dB) - Correct Answer A unit used to compare the loudness of different sounds.Crosstalk - Correct Answer when data bleeds from one pair to another in a cable 1 / 2
Alien Crosstalk (AXT) - Correct Answer Unwanted signal coupling from one permanent link to another USOC - Correct Answer Universal Service Order Code Coaxial cable types - Correct Answer Series-6 and Series-11 Coaxial connectors - Correct Answer Series-6 uses BNC and F connectors Series-11 uses F and N connectors Fiber connectors - Correct Answer SC, ST, and SST(LC or cladding - Correct Answer The glass or plastic shield around the core of a fiber-optic cable. Cladding reflects light back to the core in patterns that vary depending on the transmission mode. This reflection allows fiber to bend around corners without impairing the light-based signal.Multimode Fiber (MMF) - Correct Answer Larger core with multiple paths of light.Common for backbone and horizontal cabling in buildings. OM2 - Not recommended for new installs. OM3 - Higher bandwidth. OM4 - Highest bandwidth for MMF.2000m/6500ft limitation. 850 nm and 1300 nm (nanometers) Singlemode Fiber - Correct Answer Smaller core with only one path of lights. Horizontal, riser, campus environments.
- um core, 125 um cladding.
