Which document describes field testing of installed cables?

• A. OFSTP-14
• B. FOTP-34
• C. FOTP-57
• D. ISO 11801

Answer: (A)

Field testing of installed cables focuses on checking the actual network in its real environment after installation, ensuring the installed fiber plant meets performance requirements in practice. OFSTP-14 is the document that provides procedures and criteria specifically for this kind of field testing of the installed optical fiber cable plant. It guides technicians on how to verify continuity, attenuation, and overall performance of the cabling in the field, treating the installed system as a whole rather than just individual components. In contrast, the other options are more about test procedures for components or lab setups (FOTP documents) or general cabling system requirements (ISO 11801) and do not describe field testing of installed cables.
