Progression: Field Tech II - III Conventional NCTI 2025

Document Content and Description Below

What is one reason why broadband cable operators install fiber-optic cable in stages instead of changing the infrastructure all at once? - ✔✔-Changing the infrastructure all at once would cause ... too many service disruptions. What is the difference between the fiber-to-the-node (FTTN) and fiber-to-the-curb (FTTC) topologies? - ✔✔-An FTTC is allowed a smaller number of RF amplifiers between the optical fiber and the customer premises. Which of these components is used in a passive optical network (PON)? - ✔✔-Optical splitters. Which type of star topology used in a passive optical network (PON) places the PON splitters into fiber access terminal (FAT) located deep in the network and closer to the customer premises than the centralized split? - ✔✔-Distributed star. Which element of a passive optical network (PON) uses a Bragg grating filter? - ✔✔-Optical line terminal (OLT). Which element of a passive optical network (PON) uses patch panels? - ✔✔-Optical distribution network (ODN). What is it about radio frequency over glass (RFoG) that made broadband cable operators envision using it to make a seamless transition from the legacy hybrid fiber/coax (HFC) architecture over to a gigabit-capable passive optical network (GPON) or Ethernet passive optical network (EPON)? - ✔✔-RFoG can operate in parallel with GPON or EPON, which eliminates the need for any downtime during the transition. How are optical splitters used in the forward path? - ✔✔-In the forward path, optical splitters are used as passive br [Show More]
