Answers
Aa higher-resistance copper jumper
Ban Ethernet loopback address
Ca fuse across the optical port
Da suitable receive fiber after the link

- A mechanical splice is showing a loss of 1.5 dB on a single-mode link. The tech pulls it apart, cleans it, and puts it back together, but it still reads 1.5 dB. The fiber ends were cleaved at a perfect 90-degree angle. What is missing?

- A technician strips the 250-micron acrylate coating off a fiber to prepare it for fusion splicing. They immediately put it into the cleaver without doing anything else. The splice machine rejects the fiber due to poor cleave angles. What step was skipped?
