Objectives
Premise Wiring Fundamentals will give students a good foundation in both copper and fiber premise wiring installation techniques and equipment.
This course will allow students to:
- Understand the telecommunication-wiring standards for high performance category rated copper cabling.
- Understand a basic building physical topology (permanent link and channel).
- Know how to analyze the performance parameters for copper and fiber optic cabling systems.
- Know the performance specifications for the high-performance Twisted Pair Media.
- Understand Premise Wiring Test Equipment.
- Understand distance limitations, attenuation, near-end cross talk, wire mapping and how to test these measurable electrical properties of copper and fiber media.
- Understand the current Telecommunication Commercial Building Wiring Standards (EIA/TIA).
