Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes practical sessions and exercises where participants carryout fiber optic splicing, testing and troubleshooting. Theory learnt in the class will be applied using a state-of-the-art fiber optics technology and equipment suitable for inclass training. The rapidly changing face of data communications and telecommunications has seen a continued growth in the need to transfer enormous amounts of information across large distances. The technologies that were used extensively in the past such as coaxial cable, satellite and microwave radio for transferring information were running out of capacity. With the fiber optic communication systems, the solution to the problems of transmission capacity shortage and to noisy industrial environments has been successfully found. The course is designed to provide delegates with a detailed and up-to-date overview on the fiber optics technology in general and the fiber optics access network planning in particular. Participants will be provided with knowledge and skills to analyze optical fiber cables problems and adjust the splicing and termination of the optical fiber cables; employ optical fiber systems configurations and calculations; identify its components; evaluate optical fiber networks working in SDH; and follow the errors of the SDH networks. The course will also cover the SDH fundamentals graphical; SDH fundamentals revision; SDH & PHD comparison; SDH overview; network topology structures, protection classification, directional and fiber protection; SDH networks problems and its solutions; SDH networks graphical and WDM.
