FTTX - FIBER TO THE PREMESIS
The telecommunication services delivered to the home have always been limited by the narrow bandwidth that copper wires can provide. In order to provide state of the art services to homes and businesses, phone companies are now undertaking major overhauls to replace the old copper wires with fiber. This new frontier in fiber optics is called FTTX.

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

In this course students will explore the different designs grouped as “fiber to the x” such as:

  • Fiber to the Home
     
  • Fiber to the Business
     
  • Fiber to the Curb

They will also learn:

  • Why FTTx is being implemented today, including technical, marketing and financial justifications.
     
  • The types of FTTx architectures being used, advantages and disadvantages of each and types of components required.
     
  • Technical details of specialized FTTx components like splitters and wavelength-division multiplexers and requirements for cables, connectors, splices and hardware.
     
  • Design and installation requirements particular to FTTx.

A hands-on lab will familiarize students with connectorization, testing and troubleshooting FTTx links as well as the specialized safety requirements of FTTx.

The course can be used to either train installation technicians already familiar with fiber optic installation as well as other personnel in support roles, including customer service.

Successful completion of the course and industry recognized exam may lead to certification as a Certified FTTx Technician (CFXT).

Prerequisites:
CFOT certification (understanding of basic fiber optics, components, installation practice, testing)
