From a 1000 ft (305 m) roll of optical fiber, how many MAXIMUM length centralized optical fiber cabling runs can be made?

The correct answer is C. 3. Per TIA-568, the maximum length for a centralized optical fiber cabling run (channel) is 100 m (328 ft). Dividing the roll length by the maximum run length: 305 m ÷ 100 m = 3.05, which means only 3 complete maximum-length runs can be made. The remaining ~5 m is not enough for a…

Explanation

Per TIA-568, the maximum length for a centralized optical fiber cabling run (channel) is 100 m (328 ft). Dividing the roll length by the maximum run length: 305 m ÷ 100 m = 3.05, which means only 3 complete maximum-length runs can be made. The remaining ~5 m is not enough for a fourth full-length run. Options D and E (4 or 5 runs) would require a longer roll, and options A and B underutilize the available fiber.
