Question #1
How does a Raman pump work in the 1830 specific implementation?
- A . The amplification is done simultaneously for all channels as they enter the board.
- B . As the incoming signal power increase, the gain of the amplifier is reduced.
- C . The pump light travels in the same direction of the signal, amplifying it while it flows in the fiber towards the following node.
- D . The pump light travels in the opposite direction of the signal to be amplified, amplifying it while it arrives from the adjacent node.
Correct Answer: C
C
Explanation:
In the 1830 implementation, the Raman pump uses a technique called co-propagation, where the pump light (which provides the energy for amplification) travels in the same direction as the signal. This setup is used to amplify the signal as it flows through the fiber towards the next node.

Question #3
Which of the following statements is true about chromatic dispersion (CD)?
- A . Different channels have different bandwidth and this causes different CD performances.
- B . The fiber attenuation changes along the fiber, and when the light crosses these differences the CD takes place.
- C . Different wavelengths propagate at different speeds within the same media and therefore different colors travel in the fiber with different speed.
- D . The fiber attenuation introduces inter-channel interference.
Correct Answer: C
C
Explanation:
Different wavelengths propagate at different speeds within the same media and therefore different colors travel in the fiber with different speed. This phenomenon is known as chromatic dispersion and causes light to spread out as it travels through the fiber over distance, leading to signal attenuation and distortion. The fiber attenuation does not introduce inter-channel interference, but it can cause attenuation of the signal. Different channels have different bandwidths, but this does not affect CD performance.

Question #5
What is the purpose of the validate step in the EPT design process?
- A . During this step, the configuration available on the involved network elements is compared with the design provided byEPT.
- B . This step is used to measure optical power performances over an existing network before making changes.
- C . This step is optional and is useful to verify the network element layout before going through the commission step.
- D . During this step, the run design action is triggered for network design consistency check and errors fixing.
Correct Answer: A
A
Explanation:
In the EPT design process, the validate step is crucial to compare the actual configuration of network elements with the design provided by EPT (Engineering Planning Tool). This step ensures that the network has been set up correctly according to the design.

Question #6
What is a degree-1 node?
- A . A node with only one direction and therefore a terminal node
- B . A node with only one express channel and therefore made of two sides
- C . A node with only east and west sides without directions towards north and south
- D . A node with one direction only and therefore used as In-Line-Amplifier (ILA)
Correct Answer: A
A
Explanation:
A degree-1 node is a node that only has one direction, and it is therefore a terminal node. This means that the node only has one input and one output port. It does not have any other ports to connect to other nodes or fibers. This is a common feature of some optical transport networks, such as ring networks, where a degree-1 node serves as the endpoint of the ring.

Question #7
What is the function of a pre-amplifier in an optical network?
- A . Through the pre-amplifier, the optical signal is amplified at the receiver side after it travels along the fiber from another node.
- B . Through the pre-amplifier, the optical signal is amplified at the transmitter side before it is sent to the line span.
- C . Through the pre-amplifier, the optical signal is amplified both the receiver side and at the transmitter side.
- D . Through the pre-amplifier, the optical signal is amplified within the node internally to recover internal losses due, for instance, to cascaded filters.
Correct Answer: A
A
Explanation:
The main function of a pre-amplifier in an optical network is to amplify the optical signal at the receiver end after it has travelled along the fiber from the transmitter side. This ensures that the signal power is strong enough for detection at the receiver side.
