Objectives
Fiber Optics for Military training will provide the student 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
Labs
In addition to the labs performed in the Certified Fiber Optic Installer course, students will also perform the following industry-specific labs:
Lab 1 Splice-on Connector Installation (TL-03C)
- To understand how to adapt a fusion splicer for a generic splice-on connector.
- To demonstrate the ability to adapt fiber strip measurements to any fusion splicer.
- To perform a visual inspection when completed and properly test to TIA Tier 1 standard.
Lab 2 MIL-C83526/16 Connector Termination (TL-25B)
- Understand the proper assembly and disassembly procedures for a TFOCA II connector.
- Properly use the TFOCA II termination tools.
- Field mount and repair TFOCA II connectors with a basic repair kit.
- Field convert TFOCA II connectors, to and from, plug and receptacle configurations
- Demonstrate that the segment can pass light and a visual inspection.
- Test and analyze the individual cable components using various testing devices.
Lab 3 L-Jack Industrial Connector (TL-25C)
- Understand how and why Industrial assemblies are deployed in outside applications including Antenna/Cell, DAS, Military, Mining, Oil & Gas, Traffic & Transit Systems.
- Properly install connectors using the epoxy and polish method of termination.
- Demonstrate the skills necessary to assemble a ruggedized housing made of chemical-resistant thermoplastic, a quarter-turn bayonet-style mating that is IP66/IP67 rated.
- Demonstrate that the segment can pass light and a visual inspection.
- Test and analyze the individual cable components using various testing devices.
Prerequisites: None
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
This course is excellent for anyone involved in the fiber optics for Militaryical environments and anyone who designs, installs, maintains, or tests fiber optic cabling systems.
