in areas where future excavation is anticipated, it may be advisable to place the
cable at a greater depth. For example, if road grading that will remove 610 mm (24
in) of dirt is planned in a particular area, it would be wiser to initially place the
cable at 1.2 m (4 ft) versus the standard
610 mm (24 in).
True
placing all of the conduits during the initial conduit system installation is
desirable,
if not mandatory.
*True
*False
True
It is not always necessary to build new pathways for cable placement
*True
*False
True
The length of a cable loop from the switch to a customer depends on three
factors
• Resistance of the cable in ohms
• Signaling limits of the telephone and the terminating device switch in ohms
• Pair loading

system,
Cable Types
• Optical fiber:
- 62.5/125 micrometer (μm) multimode optical fiber (OM1).
- 50/125 μm multimode optical fiber (OM2, OM3, and OM4).
- Singlemode optical fiber (OS1 and OS2).
• 100-ohm balanced twisted-pair.
• 75-ohm coaxial.
