Fiber Optics for Mining Applications

This course provides the practical understanding and skills required to properly design, install, and maintain fiber optics systems in harsh environment underground and surface mines. Students will use the latest fiber optic technology and equipment to learn how to splice, connectorize, test, and troubleshoot mining-based optical fiber networks in order to increase efficiency, reliability, and to meet on-the-job MSHA safety requirements.
 

The course is intended for those who design, install, or maintain fiber optic communication systems in harsh and hazardous environments.
