BICSI Registered Communications Distribution Designer - RCDD-001 Exam Practice Test

If you are using a building automation system (BAS) protocol operating on RF media at 19,200 b/s in the
8 68 MHz band, which protocol are you using?

In the customer's environment, an ITS designer should avoid the need for optical fiber field splicing by:

What type of redundancy provides two complete units, modules, paths or systems for every one required
for a base system.

What is the PERT estimate (in hours) for project design where:
-Optimistic time is 40 hours
-Most likely time is 50 hours
-Pessimistic time is 60 hours

The MINIMUM separation distance between grounded metal telecommunications pathway and
unshielded power lines is:

In reviewing your client's network needs for today and 5 years into the future, you note their current specs
call for a 1Gb/s network within a campus environment, with little or no possibility of any increased
bandwidth demands until they move to their planned future site. The building is not large, and the cable
lengths will not exceed 550 m (1804 ft). Your recommendation for the fiber to be installed in the backbone
is:

One of the advantages of using optical fiber in the backbone installation is:

Omnidirectional antennas broadcast equally in all directions of only ________ cross section(s) of their
toroidal (doughnut-shaped) three-dimensional radiation pattern.

A ________ eliminates the need to remove or install materials.

You have been asked to design a backbone cable connecting two large campus buildings. Your pathways
will include using conduits, maintenance holes, and one section of 100 m (328 ft) of direct buried optical
fiber cable. Your choice of fiber optic cable type recommendation is a:

Certain systems must exist relative to bonding and grounding at every site. Which of the following is NOT
one such system?

You are placing Category 6 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) in cable tray down a hallway past the elevator
mechanical room. What action should you take to avoid effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI)?

You have been asked to design a public safety microwave radio system for the city of Fairbanks, Alaska.
The requirement for reliability, maximum throughput, and minimum interference by fog, rain, or heavy
snow is critical. Which frequency will best suit the system's needs?

You are designing a horizontal pathway system where you will provide 100 mm (4 in) conduit and pull
boxes. The building architectural elements will only allow for a single layer of conduits (not stacked). The
main horizontal pathway system consists of five 100 mm (4 in) conduits. Large single sheath copper
cables are not expected to be placed. Which of the following is the MINIMUM width pull box that is to be
provided?
