Course Description
This comprehensive workshop provides the necessary background to understand the fundamentals of fiber optics systems and their individual components including fibers, cable construction, connectors, splices and optical sources and detectors. Participants will use this knowledge to develop the required techniques for design, installations and maintenance of fiber optics systems.
The workshop places significant emphasis on the practical techniques of components installations and system design. Attendees will have the opportunity to get hands-on experience with mechanical and fusion splicing and with fitting the popular industrial fiber connectors. Furthermore, participants will practice using various fiber optics test equipment’s such as optical sources and power meters. The workshop is a practical, hands-on one enabling participants to work through practical exercises which reinforces the concepts discussed during the workshop
The Training Course Will Highlight ?
Training Objective
Target Audience
Instrumentation and control engineers and technicians, Telecommunications engineers and technicians, Maintenance engineers and technicians, process control engineer, project engineers, Electrical engineers, consulting engineers, systems engineers, project managers, electricians
Training Methods
This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations.
