According to the text, it is recommended that reference test cables be chosen for their
__________> - ✔✔low loss
Which of the following parameters cannot be measured by OTDRs (optical time domain
reflectometers) in fiber optic networks. - ✔✔Transmitter and receiver power

has been properly installed)
A link loss budget should be done for every cable plant installation during the ______ phase of a
project. - ✔✔Design
The loss of connector on each end of the cable plant ______. - ✔✔Are always included in the

Traps light in the core to reduce attenuation - ✔✔Cladding
Is smaller in singlemode than multimode fiber - ✔✔Core
Is stripped off for termination or splicing - ✔✔Primary Buffer Coating
The outside diameter of this part of the fiber is the same for most singlemode and multimode
fibers - ✔✔Cladding
Singlemode - ✔✔
Multi-mode graded index - ✔✔
