Which cable is required to connect the ICC to the TCS?

• A. Fiber Optic Cable
• B. MIDS Interface Cable
• C. 26 Pair Cable Hock
• D. 50 Ohm Cable

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is choosing the cable that matches the interface used by the MIDS-based systems to talk to each other. The MIDS Interface Cable is specifically designed to carry the digital data and control signals between MIDS-enabled units, providing the correct connectors and electrical characteristics needed for reliable communication between the ICC and the TCS.

Other cables don’t fit this role: a fiber optic link is for optical data transmission with different transceivers and mountings, not the standard MIDS data/control interface between these components; a 26-pair copper cable is typically used for legacy voice or low-speed data circuits rather than a modern MIDS data link; and a 50 ohm coaxial cable is intended for RF transmission paths, not the MIDS control/data interface.
