Cables installed parallel to framing members or furring strips must be protected from damage by either installing the wiring method so it isn’t less than 1¼ in. from the nearest edge of the framing member or furring strips or installing a 1⁄16-in.-thick steel plate or the equivalent.
- A.
A. True
- B.
B. False
Correct Answer
A. A. TrueExplanation
Cables installed parallel to framing members or furring strips can be easily damaged if not properly protected. To prevent damage, the wiring method must be installed at a distance of at least 1¼ inches from the nearest edge of the framing member or furring strips. Alternatively, a 1/16-inch-thick steel plate or an equivalent protective measure can be used. Therefore, the statement "Cables installed parallel to framing members or furring strips must be protected from damage by either installing the wiring method so it isn’t less than 1¼ in. from the nearest edge of the framing member or furring strips or installing a 1/16-in.-thick steel plate or the equivalent" is true.Rate this question:

B. a minimum of 18AWG
- C.
C. rated for less than 300 volts
- D.
D. temperature rated not more than 60 degrees Celsius
Correct Answer
A. A. copperExplanation
Conductors in communications cables, other than in a coaxial cable, are typically made of copper. Copper is a widely used material for conductors due to its excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion. It allows for efficient transmission of electrical signals in communication systems. Other options such as minimum AWG, voltage rating, and temperature rating are not specific to the material used for the conductors and do not accurately describe the requirement for conductors in communications cables.Rate this question:
