RCDD practice examsIn development

Registered Communications Distribution Designer

BICSI · advanced · 2.5 hours

In developmentThis course is still being brought to our full standard. The questions and notes are usable, but they have not yet been checked line by line against the vendor’s own training.

The premier credential for telecommunications infrastructure design — the physical layer the network runs on: the structured cabling system and its subsystems, the TIA-568, ISO 11801, pathway, administration and grounding standards, and the key rules like the 90-metre horizontal limit and Category 6A for 10-gigabit Ethernet; then copper with power over Ethernet to the desk and fibre for the backbone, pathways and spaces sized for growth, the bonding, grounding, power, cooling and protection that support it, and a documented, labelled, code-compliant design project coordinated with other trades.
