FIBRE OPTIC SPLICING & OTDR
Course Description
This is a comprehensive workshop that provides the necessary background to understand the fundamentals of fibre optics systems and their individual components including fibres, 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 fibre 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 fibre connectors. Furthermore, participants will practice using various fibre optics test equipments 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.

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.

This interactive Training will be highly interactive, with opportunities to advance your opinions and ideas and will include;

  • Lectures
  • Workshop & Work Presentation
  • Case Studies and Practical Exercise
  • Videos and General Discussions
