Which of the following fiber-optic cable types is used within a campus network?

Multimode

How far can MMF travel before signal loss?

500 meters

____________ refers to the spreading out of a light pulse over time.

Dispersion

Similar to a LC simplex connector, but uses a duplex connector.

Duplex Multimode LC Connectors

What four types of industry is fiber-optic cabling used in?

Enterprise Networks Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) Long-Haul Networks Submarine Cable Networks

What cords are required for interconnecting infrastructure devices?

Fiber patch cords

What type of fiber-optic cable can be powered by low-cost LEDs and provides bandwidth up to 10 Gb/s over link lengths of up to 550 meters?

MMF

These are sometimes called little or local connectors and are quickly growing in popularity due to their smaller size.

Lucent Connector (LC) Simplex Connectors

What media can transmit signals with less attenuation and is completely immune to EMI and RFI

Optical Fiber

What color jacket is for multimode fiber cables?

Orange or Aqua

What type of fiber-optic cable is popular in long-distance situations spanning hundreds of kilometers, such as those required in long haul telephony and cable TV applications?

SMF

Which of the fiber-optic cable types can travel approximately 100 km?

Single-mode

Which of the fiber-optic cable types use lasers in a single stream as a data light source transmitter?

Single-mode

What two broad types of fiber-optic cables exist?

Single-mode fiber (SMF) Multimode Fiber (MMF)

One of the first connector types used. The connector locks securely with a "Twist-on/twist-off" bayonet-style mechanism.

Straight-Tip (ST) connectors

______________ are sometimes referred to as square connector or standard connector. They are a widely-adopted LAN and WAN connector that uses a push-pull mechanism to ensure positive insertion. This connector type is used with multimode and single-mode fiber.

Subscriber Connector (SC) connectors

How should fiber cables be protected when not in use?

With a small plastic cap

What color jacket is for single-mode fiber cables?

Yellow
