About this Exam
Prepare with the BICSI OSP Design Practice Test practice quiz. This question bank includes 10 questions covering central, lead, topology, bicsi, and design. Use it to review important concepts, identify knowledge gaps, and build confidence for the related exam, course, or assessment.
Sample Questions
Question
1
Central tube also known as which term?
Explanation:
In loose-tube fiber optic cables, the fibers are housed inside tubes that run along the length of the cable, with one tube located at the very center. That central channel is commonly called the core tube because it forms the core housing for the fiber bundles, literally the tube around which the cable’s fiber path is organized. The other terms describe different concepts: a single loose tube refers to a design with just one tube containing all fibers, which is a different configuration; unitube isn’t a standard designation in this context. So the central tube is best known as the core tube.
Question
2
What is the correct description of a license in real property terms?
Explanation:
A license describes a temporary permission to use land without granting ownership or exclusive possession. It is usually revocable and personal to the licensee, meaning the owner can withdraw the permission and it ends once the stated purpose is fulfilled. It does not create an estate in land and, unless explicitly stated, does not run with the land or transfer with ownership. The other options describe ownership interests or a security interest (like a mortgage lien), not just permission to use.
Question
3
Gel filled RUS cable corresponds to which standard code?
Explanation:
In this case, the standard code used for identifying cables is the RUS designation system, where a prefix like PE is followed by a two-digit code that denotes the specific construction and filling of the cable. Gel-filled RUS cables are classified under the PE86 code. That suffix encodes the gel-filled moisture-protection construction defined by RUS for that type of cable, ensuring it’s the correct match for gel-filled, moisture-resistant designs used in underground or duct environments. The other codes correspond to different cable constructions or filling methods and don’t match the gel-filled category, so they wouldn’t be correct for a gel-filled RUS cable.
Question
4
The vertical down lead (VDL) of the MGN is an acceptable ground.
Explanation:
The main idea here is that a reliable ground comes from a continuous, low-impedance path to earth provided by the bonding of the Main Grounding Network to the grounding electrode system. The vertical down lead is the conductor that takes the MGN down to the earth, terminating at a grounding electrode. When this lead is properly sized, securely connected, and bonded to both the MGN and the electrode, it delivers the required low-impedance path to earth. That makes it an acceptable ground for the MGN. If the lead isn’t bonded to an electrode or is undersized or poorly connected, it wouldn’t be an acceptable ground, but with correct installation it is.
Question
5
GACAN limits use of how many different gauges?
Explanation:
Limiting the number of conductor gauges to two keeps the electrical characteristics of a run predictable and manageable. When only two sizes are used, resistance, inductance, and capacitance stay within a narrow range, which makes terminations, splicing, and testing more straightforward and reliable. Introducing a third or fourth gauge would introduce more variability in impedance and other properties, making it harder to certify performance and maintain consistency across the installation. That balance—enough flexibility to accommodate practical needs (such as different gauges for different functions) while avoiding excessive complexity—leads to allowing two gauges. Using only one gauge would be too restrictive for common installations, and three or four gauges would complicate design and testing without real benefit.
