Introduction

This Fiber Optic Advanced Splicing training course is designed for those who layout, install, or maintain fiber optic cabling systems.

It identifies you as a Fiber Optic Advanced Splicing able to demonstrate a practical knowledge of fiber optic theory, codes, standards, and practices widely accepted in the fiber optics industry.

In addition, this training incorporates two days of individual hands-on training validating fiber optic installer skills, including fiber terminations, cable preparations, fusion splicing, OTDR, and optical loss testing.

Training Objectives

Fiber Optic Advanced Splicing training will provide the participants with the necessary knowledge and skills to:

  • Layout, install or maintain fiber optic cabling systems
  • Demonstrate a practical knowledge of fiber optic theory, codes, standards, and installation practices
  • Demonstrate a practical knowledge of individual hands-on skills including:
    • Performing industry standard fiber optic terminations
    • Preparing cables for inside and outside applications
    • Performing fusion splicing and splice tray preparation
    • Testing with the OTDR and optical loss test equipment

Training Methodologies

This Fiber Optic Advanced Splicing training workshop consists of theoretical and technical procedures and methods for fiber optic mechanical and fusion splicing applications.

Participants will learn all aspects of fiber optics focusing on splicing techniques with hands-on practice, examples, and exercises.

Prerequisites

Knowledge or experience in the areas of Fiber Optic Advantages and Applications, Cables, Connectors and Terminations, Enclosures and Panels, and Test Equipment would be helpful but is not required.

Target Audience

Fiber Optic Advanced Splicing is designed for new or experienced personnel seeking a deeper understanding of the installation of fiber optic cabling systems.

This course is excellent for anyone involved in the construction, education, commercial, industrial, or utility markets and anyone who designs, installs, maintains, or tests fiber optic cabling systems.
