RCDD Question #300: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is A. Installed one or two pair cables from the boat slips to a distribution terminal on the closest point of. For marina installations with fewer than 10 slips, the pre-cabling guideline for terminal A is to run one or two pair cables from each boat slip to a distribution terminal at the nearest accessible point on the dock.

Question

In this future marina layout, assuming that there are fewer than 10 slips being cabled, what would be the pre-cabling guideline to follow for terminal A?

Common mistakes.

B. Placing distribution cable on the dock and terminating in a cabinet or enclosure describes a distribution architecture suited for larger marina installations, not the specific terminal A guideline for fewer than 10 slips.
C. Pre-cabling each slip during construction is a construction-phase activity that describes when to install cable, not the specific cabling topology or terminal A distribution guideline for small marinas.
D. Terminating in a patch panel or cross-connect at the dockmaster office is a guideline applicable to larger or more complex marina deployments, not to the small-installation scenario described.
