Advanced Testing of Fibre Systems

Course Supplier: CNET Telephone Number: 0121 326 2219 Cost: £625

Description:
­

Gain a greater knowledge of design & testing of fibre systems.

This 3-day course is designed for engineers already installing fibre, to provide information and essential experience on system design and advanced testing requirements, for both multimode and singlemode fibre optic cabling systems.

Delivered through a series of demonstrations and instructor-led practical assignments, this course is designed to provide a comprehensive insight into all aspects of OTDR testing and the design requirements for modern network architectures up to 10Gb Ethernet, popular fibre-to-the-desktop systems as well as inter and intra building solutions. Complex measurements of fibre optic links are also covered, including through multiple cross-connects and the storage, recall, analysis and collation of the tests results.
