Training code: FOT-FCT
Updated: June 29, 2010
On This Page
Objectives
This 3 day course will provide you with all the knowledge and requirements that are needed to effectively characterize your optical infrastructure. You will learn about all the requirements for engineering and for qualifying the optical fiber links that utilize specific bit rates in regards to both metro and long haul spans.
Brief Course Synopsis
In this extensive hands-on training each student will completely:
- Learn about the tests that are required for fiber characterization
- Learn about transmission limits as a function of bit rate and application
- Learn about the effects of Chromatic Dispersion and Polarization Mode Dispersion on high speed signals such as 10G, 40G, and 100G
- Learn about OTDR theory and bi-directional splice characterization
- Learn about ORL and the consequences of high ORL
- Learn how to measure Chromatic and Polarization Mode Dispersion
- Each individual will conduct all tests required for fiber characterization
- Each student will test one complete span and they will compile all test data into a comprehensive report
- Each student will use an OLTS, OTDR, CD, and PMD tester
