COURSE OBJECTIVE
The objective of this 2 ½ day Fiber Optic Training course is to
provide you with the tools you need to be successful in all
aspects of cable termination, polishing, OTDR testing, and
fusion splicing. This course is non-vendor specific, and allows
participants to work "hands-on" with a wide variety of materials
supplied by a number of leading manufacturers. You will acquire
necessary information to effectively manage your fiber optic
network using state-of-the-art components and equipment. For
testing, you will acquire necessary information to effectively
Test and Diagnose your fiber cable plant. No prior knowledge or
experience with fiber optics is required for participation.
