Pairs within a 4 pair cable use a different twist length to improve NEXT. A physical difference in length between pairs is referred to as
velocity of propagation
return loss
When addressing copper media, __________________ is the loss in power as it travels along a cable, increases with temperature, frequency and cable length as well as improper terminations and equipment cords.
Excessive near end crosstalk ( NEXT )
Attenuation to crosstalk ratio ( ACR )
High Insertion loss
___________ is the unwanted signal coupling between pairs, It is measured at the end of a cable nearest the point of transmission.
Insertion loss
Attenuation to cross talk (ACR)
Near end cross talk (NEXT)
__________________ is a ratio of the outgoing signal to the power of the reflected signal expressed in dB.
Attenuation
Because of the twisting of the pairs, the actual physical length of balanced twisted pair cable will appear slightly shorter than the electrically measured length.
Prior to Optical fiber installation, the installer and the client should determine what field tests should be performed to include these as a minimum. Check all that apply
polarity
attenuation
Pre-installation testing should start with a check that the fiber type is correct. testing can be done with a visual fault locator(VFL), optical loss test set (OLTS), and an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR). Of these three, which can be used using only one end
VFL
OLTS
OTDR
