This one-day course examines fiber optic design parameters, cable management alternatives, route planning, optical testing requirements, test results interpretation, and cable system design.

This two-day course workshop focuses on installation, maintenance, and machine operation for those interested in learning the basics of air blown fiber (ABF) technology or that have recently purchased blowing equipment and want to learn how and why to use it. The primary focus of the content is aimed at OSP/FTTx installations; however, the basic principles can be applied equally to indoor applications and campus installations.

The course is a mix of classroom theory and hands-on skills exercises that relate to the learned theory. Subjects covered include an overview of air blown fiber technology consisting of terminology, components and equipment, best practices, setup, teardown, safety, communication, and various blowing techniques. In the hands-on skills exercises, attendees will gain practical experience with calculating fill ratios, duct and microduct joining, proper lubrication methods, duct cleaning and preparation tests, as well as machine setup and blowing microcables and fiber units.

This immersive two-day instructor-led workshop focuses on the setup, operation, maintenance, and reporting aspects of fusion splicing. In this predominantly hands-on course, students will learn the proper usage of various types of fusion splicing equipment and best practices for preparing and splicing single fiber, ribbon fiber, and fusion splice connectors. Students will develop expertise through immersive hands-on practice exercises that go beyond typical exposure and manufacturer-hosted training. Other areas covered during the course include cable preparation, proper routing of splice trays, and documenting results.

This two-day instructor-led course focuses on field testing and troubleshooting fiber optic spans/links and explains the various types of equipment and tools needed for acceptance testing, documenting performance, and finding problems in a fiber physical plant. The emphasis is on understanding proper OTDR settings, overall testing, and evaluating results.

This two-day instructor-led course focuses on fault location, troubleshooting, and test equipment with a heavy emphasis on hands-on skills training that simulates actual field restorations for both retrievable and non-retrievable slack scenarios. Attendees will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to help their organizations to better deal with outages.

This two-day instructor-led course focuses on the principles behind building and maintaining high-speed optical networks where key parameters such as polarization mode dispersion and chromatic dispersion must be calculated to evaluate system capabilities and potential upgrades to higher bit rates.

This two-day instructor-led course focuses on the fundamentals of FTTH architectures, network design, deployment technology, and operational skills. It covers everything from FTTx systems to components, including discussion around the business issues involved with planning FTTx deployments.

This three-day instructor-led course begins with fundamental fiber and network component information relating to FTTH network design considerations. The course then covers best practices for product selection and ideal placement for point-to-point, distributed, and centralized split network options.

This advanced level instructor-led course is heavily focused on field-simulated hands-on skills. After a brief theory portion that explains the main areas of focus, learners will begin a three- day hands-on project that simulates a real-world installation from receiving the work order to completing a scaled installation to preparing documentation for a closeout package. There is heavy emphasis on repetitive practice in each area of focus to instill the confidence to lead nearly any installation project.

This capstone course offers two track options for completion: Emergency Restoration and Air Blown Fiber. Each is its own four-day course, but they can be combined into a single five-day offering.

This one-day course focuses on DWDM systems and transmission impairments such as PMD and CD that limit the bandwidth and operating rates of fiber optic transmission systems. It covers xWDM theory and applications with a special emphasis on fiber dispersion limits and system design considerations.

This five-day instructor-led course focuses on mastering the tests required to verify that an infrastructure can support high data rate (10+ Gb/s) applications, Raman amplification, and extended wavelength ranges for CWDM and DWDM systems, as well as those typically required to prove that the fiber will operate properly when dark fiber contracts are signed.

This five-day instructor-led course examines how to design, plan, and implement cost-effective, high-speed networks from single channel systems to multiple channel options using CWDM and DWDM. Attendees will work together on interactive design projects to establish requirements for proper system performance and determine how the network can be affected by the properties of the physical infrastructure.
