What can a visual fault indicator help you determine? What other tool do you need when working with an optical power meter? How are optical fibers and copper different?

Breaks, Macrobends, poor fusion splices Light source Both can send digital data, both are used for communication, optical fibers are not effected by EMI Number/ Id of the the cable, test procedure number, pulse width, wavelength, model of OTDR, dead/launch zone specs Not enough twisting, inferior components, shoddily made patch cables, poor sheilding

#1

Name some ways to safely round up loose fiber after cleaving.

Use a mat, create a barrier around your work area, use tweezers, use double sided tape to pick them up. Remain calm

#2 #3

In the event of an emergency, what should your first response be on a job site?

What are some safety precautions you need to take when working around lasers Wear protective eyewear, hazardous laser and fiber optics? areas should be labeled with warning signs, assume that a fiber has a light source (even though it is invisible) List some items that are necessary on a Request for Proposal. Details on the work area, components of the cabling infrastructure, the desired outcomes, input from other stakeholders Making sure the vendor has the proper certifications, balance out cost/performance and customer support in a vendor, references on past jobs that are similar

#4

#5

What are some important things during the vendor selection phase after submitting an RFP?

Final Question Define a microbend in a fiber optic cable, and how can they be caused? Small distortions in the boundary layer between the core and the cladding. They can be caused by the packaging of the cable.
