Term
Coaxial loop resistance is:
Definition
The resistance of its semi-conductor + the sheath
Term
The type of power supply that allows for continuous power without commercial power is:
Definition
Standby unit
Term
The purpose of the line power supply is:
Definition
Reduces the secondary power (115 or 230 VAC) to the 60 or 90 VAC for insertion on the plant
Term
The placement of the power supply is based on:
Definition
System design and the type of power supply needed
Term
The power supplys batteries in a stand by unit are:
Definition
Wired in a series
Term
The reduction of voltage in a transformer is known as:
Definition
Stepped down
Term
The conversion of DC power to AC power is:
Definition
Inverted
Term
This passively combines up to 90V from the power supply and the networks RF signals:
Definition
(LPI) line power inserter
Term
The LPI can provide as well as AC and RF:
Definition
Bi directional power capabilities
Term
The type of powering that is most common today:
Definition
A distributed powering architecture
Term
A power supply is placed to power a small area:
Definition
About 6 amps in either direction
Term
In a centralized powering design there is:
Definition
One power supply per node and located near the node and provides power to all actives served by that node
Term
The 2 types of power supply voltages used are:
Definition
60VAC and 90VAC
Term
The current at the output of one device will be:
Definition
Equal to the input of the next
Term
In a broadband network, voltage gets:
Definition
Lower the further away from the power supply
Term
Loss of voltage on the span is caused by:
Definition
The current and the spans resistance
Term
The amount of resistance in a span of cable depends on the:
Definition
The length of cable and the diameter
Term
Batteries should be inspected:
Definition
Every 3-6 months for optimal performance
Term
While checking battery voltage the difference in voltage from one battery to another:
Definition
No greater than .3 VDC
Term
A byproduct of the charging process for batteries is:
Definition
Hydrogen gas
Term
Before placing a load on batteries:
Definition
Check for cracks, leaks, and swelling
Term

You should not use batteries that a date code is:

 

Definition
Older than 2 years
Term
Battery and terminal connecting wires should be tightend:
Definition
75 in/lbs during install and 60in/lbs during maintenance
Term
The high pass filter in a LPI will allow:
Definition
Only the high frequency RF to pass from port to port
Term
The low pass filter in an LPI:
Definition
Directs the flow of the lower frequency AC power to prevent signal leakage in the power supply
Term
What size batteries are used in most CATV applications
Definition
