Objectives

Students will learn:

• Active and PON design and installation
• FTTx splicing, connectors and enclosures
• Complete testing fromt he remote site to the ONT (Optical Network Terminal)
• Testing customer premise install to ensure that it is FTTx accessible
• Students will build and complete the hands-on portion of a FTTH system
• Connectorization
• Testing
• Troubleshooting

Summary

"Fiber to the X" (FTTx) is the hottest network topic since TCP/ IP. In this course, we will discuss various network designs, installations, maintenance and troubleshooting. This is a hands-on, four day course designed to provide students with a practical understanding of FTTx networks. Students will learn the difference between an Active and a Passive Optical Network (PON). The advantages and disadvantages of each system and how they are currently being implemented in the field are featured in this course. Students will learn splicing, testing and installing techniques for an FTTx network.

Course Type

This course is currently offered with a self-paced, online lecture and a hands-on workshop. This innovative approach to Fiber Optic Training and certification allows students to minimize expense, time and travel by learning at their own pace, on their own schedule (using online e-Learning to complete the lecture portion of the class.) Students may then complete the hands-on portion of the class at any of our scheduled sessions around the world (and can review the material within one year of registering for the course.) If online training is not ideal for your learning style, a more traditional instructor-lead lecture or question and answer section is available upon request depending upon the location and the size of the class. For more information on our e-Learning program, please check our "Online + Workshop" page. ↑ Top
