|
When opening a cable for midspan access, the binder tapes and water blocking
tapes should be coiled up in the splice closure for later reuse.

5.
|
When perparing loose tube cable for midspan access. one should first __________
to determine the location of a reversal point on the helical winding of the cable’s buffer
tubes.
a. | Feel the jacket of the cable | b. | Look for manufacturer’s
markings | c. | Remove a short length of the cable jacket | d. | Use an
OTDR |
|
|
|
6.
|
The length of cable jacket that needs to be removed is determined by
_______.
a. | The length of buffer tube and fiber needed according to the cable type and splice
closure chosen | b. | The number of fibers being spliced | c. | The number of tubes that will be passing
through the drop point | d. | The type of drop cable being spliced to the
backbone |
|
|
|
7.
|
The stiff center strength member of the cable should be _______.
a. | Cut off at the end of the cable jacket | b. | Left to be coiled up with the buffer
tubes | c. | Cut off leaving about 0.5m | d. | Cut off leaving enough length to secure to the
splice closure |
|
|
|
8.
|
The tubes of fibers that will pass thorugh the drop point without being
disturbed should be ___________.
a. | Coiled up and secured in the splice closure | b. | Opened and all the
fibers stored in a spare splice tray | c. | Stored in service loops outside the splice
closure | d. | Enclosed in heat-shring tubing |
|
|
|
9.
|
After opening the buffer tube ________.
a. | The tube can be cut off leaving sufficient length of bare fibers needed to
splice | b. | The fibers can be removed and the tube can be coiled up with the pass-through
tubes. | c. | The fibers to be spliced can be removed and the tube with the rest of the fibers can
be coiled up with the pass-through tubes. |
|
|
|
10.
|
All the fibers from the buffer tube that has been opened to access the fibers
for the drop cable ______.
a. | Must be spliced and placed in the same splice tray | b. | Should be ribbonized
for faster splicing | c. | Should be carefully coiled up in a splice tray
where the drop fibers will be cut and spliced | d. | Require individual protective tubes
