Fiber Optic Systems Course

The course outline covers fiber optic network installation and testing over six modules. Module I reviews fiber optic theory and components as a refresher. Module II covers Passive Optical Network (PON) system design, components, topologies and testing methods. Module III discusses Active optical network architectures and wavelength division multiplexing. Module IV reviews outside plant cable installation and closures. Module V focuses on splicing, connectorization and testing. Finally, Module VI covers qualification and troubleshooting of active and PON networks.
