Certified Installer Course

Pro Audio/Video Specialized Installer

LEVEL 13 DAY COURSE +16 hours of online instruction
LEVEL 1

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This three-day course will provide an overview of fiber optic transmission theory, system design parameters, installation guidelines, fiber optic connector and splice termination options, test equipment, testing, documentation, and troubleshooting tailored for Pro A/V applications and installations. The course includes extensive hands-on exposure to fiber optic cable preparation, terminations, testing, and troubleshooting. Course lectures must be taken online.

Upon successful completion of the required on-line lectures and exams, the student will then attend the TR-PAV Hands-on training sessions scheduled. The hands-on training session is required to complete the Fiber Optics for Pro Audio/Video Certification.

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)

  1. To understand how to adapt a fusion splicer for a generic splice-on connector.
  2. To demonstrate the ability to adapt fiber strip measurements to any fusion splicer.
  3. To perform a visual inspection when completed and properly test to TIA Tier 1 standard.

Lab 2 Wall-mount Segment Assembly (Pigtails) (TL-12A)

  1. Properly prepare a 12F distribution style cable for installation to wall Mount enclosures.
  2. Properly perform one of the most basic Splicers’ tasks, fusion splicing of “Pigtails”.
  3. Demonstrate the proper way to strip, clean, cleave, and fusion splice 900μm fiber.
  4. Properly wrap (form & dress) the fused fibers back into the splice holders.
  5. Test the completed assembly to TIA Tier 1 standard.

Lab 3 Testing SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) Links (TL-22C)

  1. Inspect, test, and analyze two SMPTE cable configurations representative of a typical SMPTE fiber link incorporating a mated pair such as 2 SMPTE assemblies mated together.
  2. Inspect, test and analyze a SMPTE fiber link incorporating a panel mount receptacle or bulkhead as typically found in wall outlets of panel racks.
  3. Perform a Visual Physical Inspection of the SMPTE test assembly
  4. Properly cleaning and inspect all fiber endfaces prior to mating.
  5. Have an understanding of how SMPTE connectors can be disassembled and repaired.

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 Pro Audio/Video environments and anyone who designs, installs, maintains, or tests fiber optic cabling systems.
