令和7年度 ITパスポート試験 問42
This question's explanation and your answers so far.
問 42
- ア
正解 The correct answer is “ア Free access floor (raised floor)”. It is a double-floor structure in which a space of a certain height is created beneath the floor, and removable panels (floor boards) are laid out and arranged on top; the resulting space can carry network cables and power wiring. This matches exactly the stem's description of creating a space beneath the floor for cabling and laying out and arranging easily removable panels as the floor, so ア is correct. It is used in server rooms and offices to keep cabling neat and tidy and to make layout changes easier to accommodate.
Incorrectイ
Free address (non-assigned seating) refers to an office seating arrangement in which employees are not assigned fixed seats and may freely use whatever seats are available. It has nothing to do with floor structure, nor with the under-floor space or panels used for cabling, so it is incorrect.
Incorrectウ
Free space is a general term meaning “a space that can be used freely”, not a technical term denoting a double floor used for under-floor cabling. It does not refer to the removable floor-board structure described in the stem, so it is incorrect.
Incorrectエ
Free spot (public Wi-Fi hotspot) refers to a public wireless LAN access point that can be used for free. It is a term related to communication services and has nothing to do with the floor structure used for under-floor cabling, so it is incorrect.
- A free access floor (raised floor / OA floor) is a structure that creates space beneath the floor and lays out removable panels; it houses network and power cabling under the floor, making layout changes easy to accommodate.
- Do not confuse it with similar “Free-” terms (free address = a seating arrangement, free spot = a public wireless LAN).
