This week I received an answer from Chris Hobbs (Training Provider Services Manager, BICSI) in response to our questions. Here is his response.
QUESTION: Will there be any test questions on the errata sheets?
ANSWER: The TDMM will be updated if mistakes are discovered. Students should always check for any errata that may be published to correct any issue.
QUESTION: Can you please explain the differences between Figure 5.21 and the verbiage on page 5-46 concerning pull through length discrepancies?
ANSWER: This is a commonly misunderstood topic that we cover in the DD102: Applied Best Practices for Telecommunications Distribution Design. Figure 5.21 states on the pull through method: 90 m (295 ft) recommended length pull-through. The on page 5-46 states “It is recommended that optical fiber cabling lengths do not exceed the maximum length limit for the application or ≈305 m (1000 ft), whichever is smaller.” The recommended length is 90m, this is to allow the fiber horizontal cable to be replaced with copper cable in the future. However, site conditions may not allow the recommended distance of 90m, so the recommended maximum is 305m or the equipment distance limitations. To sum up, the recommended distance is 90m, however the recommended maximum is 305m or application limit, whichever is smaller.

Ground Loops
Definition:
In an electrical system, a ground loop or earth loop occurs when two points of a circuit are intended to have the same ground reference potential but instead have a different potential between them.
Logic Circuits
Logic circuits utilize two values for a given physical quantity (voltage, for example) to denote the Boolean values true and false or 1 and 0 respectively. Logic circuits have inputs, as well as having outputs which can be dependent on the inputs. In logic circuit diagrams, connection from one circuit’s output to another circuit’s input is displayed as an arrowhead at the input end.
