Question 1
Above the audited rows, inter-rack bundles span up to 1.5 m between overhead support points and sag
visibly at mid-span, and freshly landed bundles hang loose for their first couple of meters before entering
the rack's cable management hardware. Which guideline pair applies to these findings?
- AOption A:
Support cables at least every two feet (60 cm) along the run, and guide a bundle's first 8 feet into management.
- BOption B:
Support spacing scales with bundle weight, so fiber-only spans may run 2 m between points if sag stays under 10 cm.
- COption C:
The sag is acceptable while jacket tension stays low; the true defect is only the unguided tails at the rack entries.
- DOption D:
Support cables at least every meter along the run, and guide a bundle's first 3 feet into management hardware
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Cable bundles should receive frequent mechanical support to prevent sag and excessive strain. The
guidance calls for support approximately every 60 cm and for the first 8 feet of an arriving bundle to be
guided into cable-management hardware.
