Basic Certified Fiber Optic Technician ELEC 721
This program combines theory and 75% hands-on activities to prepare the student to take the CFOT (Certified Fiber Optics Technician) test that is sanctioned by the FOA (Fiber Optics Association) and given and graded the final class day. This course also introduces the student to industry standards governing FTTD (Fiber To The Desk), FTTH (Fiber To The Home), LAN/WAN fiber networks, and further introduces the student to basic fusion and mechanical splicing. Students will learn how to identify fiber types, recognize various connectors used in fiber installation; and install, terminate, splice, and properly test installed fiber cable to existing standards. This program explores the history and future of fiber optics and fiber optics capabilities, and cost of installation. Standards covered: NECA/FOA-301-2004, EIA/TIA 568-B.3, ANSI/TIA/EIA 607-A, and NEC Article 770-50. This program is approved for BICSI CECs (Continuing Education Credits): RCDD 21, Installer Level/2 Technician 12 CECs.
Certified Fiber Optic Specialist/Testing ELEC 722
This 2-day (16-hour) program is designed to offer advanced training to anyone involved with the testing and maintenance of fiber optics networks. A focal point in the program is to offer a general, easy to understand, approach to fiber optics testing standards with little theory and considerable hands on activities. This comprehensive program explains the variety of testing standards, equipment and technological approaches used in fiber network testing and splicing and how to choose among them. This 75% hands on course explores the overall spectrum of testing and maintenance of single and multi mode fiber optics networks and provides a detailed overview and demonstration of various pieces of equipment used in testing and maintenance, Subject matter includes a detailed study of
ANSMTlA/EIA-526-14(7)A, OTDR fundamentals and uses, OTDR vs. Inseftion Loss Testing, Return Loss Testing, and Attenuation testing using the Power Source and Light Meter. This course is approved by BICSI for 14 RCDD FCS and 12 Installation CECs.
Target Audience: CFOT Course or another Formal Fiber Optics Training Course within preceding 6 months, or 1 Year Fiber Optics Related Experience. Specifically; Experience with fiber preparation} termination, and testing and a thorough knowledge of fiber optic safety practices.
Note: Anyone can attend this program. However, those wishing to become registered with the FOA as a Certified Fiber Optic Specialist in Testing (CFOS/T) must have taken and passed the Basic CFOT Exam which can be administered during this class period. If the student is not a registered CFOT with the FOA, the 100-question exam is available to "test out" of the basic, CFOT Course requirement. The fee for this exam is $145.00,
