Introduction to Fiber Optic Technology for Telephone Technicians

    A practical Seminar on Fiber Optic Technology For Telephone Technicians

    Technicians attending this informative "real life" practical seminar will learn:

• The difference between multi-mode and single mode fiber optic cable and the specific applications of each type.
• Digital and analog technologies for information transfer utilizing fiber optic cable
• How to specify fiber optic cable for indoor and outdoor applications
• What hardware and connectors are appropriate for each installation
• Color codes for optical fiber
• How optical fiber cables are prepared for termination or splicing
• How optical fiber is terminated
• How optical fiber is spliced
• What splice closures are available and how they are constructed
• Emergency restoration troubleshooting
• Basics of using test gear to troubleshoot a fiber optic system
• Basic tools necessary to work with fiber optic cable
• Practical, time saving tips

    "A Class Designed Specifically for Independent
Telephone Company Technical Staff"

    The rapid expansion of fiber optics into the world of the independent telephone company has created two new realities- increased reliance on fiber optics for crucial traffic paths, and a shortage of contract installation/splicing teams available.  It makes sense for a telephone company to provide training for their technicians in fiber optic technology.

    Technicians with an understanding of fiber optics will be able to more efficiently troubleshoot existing plant, as well as provide competent assistance in the installation of new cable.

    The increasing presence of the local independent telephone companies in installing and maintaining Local Area Network facilities for schools and businesses in their service area, as well as expansion into CATV, requires that the technician be conversant with their specific fiber optic requirements.  This training will enhance their knowledge, and their confidence, with fiber optic technology.

    All technicians will receive a copy of Wayne Gipson's book Technicians Hand Book of Fiber Optics volume 19, published by abcTeleTraining, inc., and a certificate of training will be awarded at the end of the class.

This class is also available for presentation on-site at your facilities.
