Preparing , Splicing and Measuring Fiber Optical Cables
Objectives


Through the combination of lectures and hands-on activities, you will learn how to perform all the steps required from receiving the products to certifying the network as being properly and reliably installed. These steps include:

  • Installation of cables without damage
  • End preparation of both loose and tight tube cables
  • Installation of low loss and reliable multimode
  • Inspection of connectors to determine installation quality
  • Installation of low loss fusion and mechanical splices
  • Proper testing of insertion loss, OTDR, and reflectance
  • Calculation of acceptance values for all tests
  • Certification and troubleshooting of installed links for maximum reliability
