Total Fiber Attenuation Measurement Quiz

What is the purpose of total fiber attenuation measurement?

• To assess the overall loss of signal strength in a fiber optic system

• To increase the signal strength in a fiber optic system

• To determine the temperature of the fiber optic system

• To measure the diameter of the fiber optic cables

How is total fiber attenuation measured?

• Using an optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR)

• Counting the number of fiber strands

• Using a Geiger counter

• Measuring the temperature of the fiber

What are the units used to measure total fiber attenuation?

• pounds per square inch (psi)

• decibels per kilometer (dB/km)

• miles per hour (mph)

• gallons per minute (gpm)

Why is it important to measure total fiber attenuation in optical fibers?

• To ensure the quality and performance of the optical fiber communication system.

• To add unnecessary cost to the system

• To make the fibers heavier

• To make the communication system less efficient

What are the factors that can affect total fiber attenuation?

• Color, shape, and size

• Bending, splicing, and connectors

• Voltage, current, and resistance

• Temperature, humidity, and pressure
