This training course will teach you how to independently connect a fiber optic network. You'll learn about mechanical splicing and fusing. You'll also learn how to check the quality of your work using reflectometry and photometry measurements, and how to generate reports.
At the end of the training, the participant will be able to:
Understand the technical differences between an industrial fiber-optic network (horizontal) and a FTTH network (vertical)
Splicing optical fibers by mechanical splicing
Pigtail fusion welding
Carry out an optical assessment of connected links
Interpreting measurement results on fiber optic networks
Provide installers with a working methodology for preparation, connection and testing
Intended audience
Anyone wishing to learn how to wire fiber optic networks.
Prerequisites
Open to all, but experience in installing computer or telephone networks over copper is a plus.
Practical details
Hands-on work
Practical work on connection and measurement.
Teaching methods
Alternating lectures and practical exercises. Practical work is carried out directly by participants, after presentation or demonstration by the instructor.
