FIBER OPTICS TRANSMISSION ENGINEERING

COURSE DURATION: 2 weeks Fast-Track

Neonetwireless Nig Ltd offers the Certified Fiber Optic (CFOT)

course with IMT Computers. It is the Fiber Optic Associations
certification for-general fiber optic applications. It is a first level
certification and a prerequisite for any Specialist (CFOS/x) FOA
certifications. This course makes use of the FOA Reference
Guide to Fiber Optics textbook by Jim Hayes. It is included with
your registration. The course format is a combination of
lectures and hands-on training. Course topics include: Fiber
Optic Theory, Fiber Optic-Applications, Cable Characteristics,
Connectors, Splicing, Testing and Troubleshooting. Students are
given a practical introduction to the tools of the trade.
Examples include VFL, Light Source and Power Meter and OTDR.
A Show-and-tell of various types of cables and connectors will
be given. Students will be shown the techniques of handling,
inspecting, cleaning, terminating, splicing and testing fiber
optic cables. The lab exercises will give ample opportunity to
practice these techniques. At the end of the course, students
write the CFOT exam From IMT Computers. The exam is a test of
the students level of knowledge of fiber-optics and covers
technology, components, installation and testing. It is a 100

This course provides participants with the knowledge and practical skills
needed to successfully
design, install, splice and troubleshoot using appropriate equipment including
OTDR
