This course is a continuation of concepts and theories learned in Basic Fiber Optics Installation Technology. It is designed to give students a closer look at cable types and splicing as well as intensive hands on learning with industry standard equipment. Students will be introduced to function and use of an Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) as used for fiber optics testing. TIA/EIA 568-B.3 standards for Fiber optic cables will be thoroughly emphasized and discussed in course.

 All courses/seminars are eligible for DoD, corporate and other tuition assistance programs.

Topics also include:

• Basic Fiber Optics Review
   
• Fiber Optics Lab Safety
