1 | P a g e PROGRESSION CONSTRUCTION COORDINATOR II - III EXAMS WITH ACTUAL CORRECT QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED DETAILED RATIONALES ANSWERS 2024 (NEWEST) ALREADY GRADED A+ When splicing fiber-optic cable, why is it a good safety practice to clean off fiber strippers and other hand tools after each use? To prevent the accidental transfer of fiber debris or fiber chips onto clean hands. Where would you expect to install a mid-entry splice in a fiber-optic cable network? A location where a select number of optical fibers need to be spliced, and the remaining buffer tubes and fibers remain untouched. Which type of fusion splicer is ideal for fiber-to-the-x (FTTx) splicing? The fixed V-Groove splicer. When would a mid-entry splice in a fiber-optic network be used? In a self-healing ring network that requires only two fibers to feed an optical fiber drop. What is required of mechanical splices used for acceptance testing? A mechanical splice used for acceptance testing should be simple to use and reusable. What are some prerequisites before performing a fusion splice of optical fibers? A controlled environment such as a splicing van, trailer or tent and a stable work surface that is large enough to accommodate
