Course Description: A Fiber Optics Technician has a full understanding of inside plant optical fiber, connector, and splice performance characteristics and can use these performance characteristics to create a worst case power budget for a fiber optic cable plant. After the course, you should be able to proficiently perform optical loss testing and perform connector endface evaluation, use an OTDR, effectively locate faults in a fiber optic cable, mated connector pair, or splice as well as evaluate optical fiber performance, mated connector pair performance, and splice performance.

Prerequisites: Fiber Optics Installer.
