Study Notes

Coaxial Cables

The foil shield in miniature coaxial cables serves a purpose
RG-59 coaxial cables are inexpensive, flexible, and suitable for shorter run lengths
RG-11 coaxial cables have a higher cost than RG-59 due to their main advantage
RG-6 coaxial cables are often used in the distribution of video signals in commercial buildings and CATV applications
CATV coaxial cables differ from RG-6 and RG-11 cables in that they are designed for specific uses
Miniature coaxial cables are distinct from RG-11 and RG-6 cables in their design and application

Twisted-Pair Cabling

'TP' in twisted-pair cabling types stands for twisted pair
'SF' in twisted-pair cabling types represents shielded foil
The second wire in the 4th pair is colored blue according to the Twisted-Pair Wiring Color-Code Chart
'F/UTP' cable sheath type indicates foil-braided shielding
'S/FTP' cabling features an overall screen protection provided by the braided shield
There are 25 color combinations possible using the 25-pair color code for twisted-pair cabling

Fiber Termination

If the red light is illuminated after terminating the fiber, seek assistance
Conduit fill refers to the percentage of a conduit's cross-sectional area occupied by all the cables
Before sliding the boot up the back of the connector until it reaches the cam, the fiber is cleaned and prepared
The outer shroud is installed to provide additional protection and support
It is crucial to consider future cable installations when designing a conduit run to allow for scalability
If the green light is illuminated after terminating the fiber, the process is successful
