To read the specifications of an optical link, we start from power, loss and wavelength. This course is for people who want to learn the technical language of network design and installation.
Single-mode, multimode, G.652 or G.657; each of these names carries specific properties. In this course we go to those specifications and how to read a datasheet.
Does the cable route run inside a building, or through soil and duct? Is the cable mounted on a pole, or in a microduct? This course explains the differences in construction through exactly these situations.
Before opening the reel, we review the route and the method of work: from transport and pulling the cable to bending, the splice point, and the documents needed to hand the job over.
In this course we start from preparing the fiber and continue through to connection and closures. Cleanliness, cleaving and testing the result sit alongside working with the fusion splicer.
Once the link is lit, what do we need to measure to hand it over? In this course we look at test tools, reading the result and writing a report together.
This course starts from irradiance, power and panel specifications and reaches a first system design. The project site and its goal provide the setting for the examples and calculations.
The curricula are proposed outlines. The schedule, fees and format are agreed with Barad before registration.
