Course Description
A Fiber Optics Technician – Outside Plant must be able to properly terminate, test, and troubleshoot single-mode fiber optic communication systems. This includes various types of termination techniques applicable to high-speed laser-based systems including SONET, DWDM, FTTx, and CATV networks using ITU-T G.652 and G.655 single-mode fibers. Disciplines include mechanical and fusion splicing per the TIA-758, GR-765, and GR-20 standards, and the preparation of fiber optic cables and cable management products. Testing and troubleshooting roles of each element and span of the fiber optic communication system(s) include optical loss testing of transmission equipment per the TIA-526-7 standard along with an understanding of OTDR theory and skills required including acceptance testing.
The FOT-OSP understands optical loss budgets, not to exceed loss budgets, and has the knowledge and skills required for troubleshooting single-mode OSP fiber optic communications systems addressing the roles of attenuation, dispersion, and reflection and how to identify and troubleshoot each. The FOT-OSP should have a basic understanding of the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC®), National Electrical Code (NEC®), and all safety conditions specific to the outside plant environment and the applicable transmission equipment.
