FTTx for Installers and Technicians

This four-day class is structured with the first 2 days being focused on fiber optic technology knowledge then followed by 2 days of hands-on skills training with a variety of tools, hardware and equipment. The information learned in this class will provide students with a practical understanding of how fiber optics works and the specific needs for FTTx networks. The hands-on skills training will teach students how to properly prepare, install, test and maintain fiber-to-the-home/building/curb (FTTx) physical networks. 
 

Attendees will work with PON and active Ethernet FTTx systems and equipment as well as learn about the requirements and impact of codes and ITU/IEEE standards. Students will test a variety of configurations including WDM and splitter testing with FTTx test equipment such as PON power meters and optical time-domain reflectometers (OTDRs). This class provides the right preparation for taking the ETA-International’s FOT-OSP Certification Exam.
