FIBER OPTICS TRANSMISSION ENGINEERING

COURSE DURATION: 2 weeks Fast-TrackNeonetwireless Nig Ltd offers the Certified Fiber Optic (CFOT) course with IMT Computers. It is the Fiber Optic Association’s

certification for-general fiber optic applications. It is a first level certification and a prerequisite for any Specialist (CFOS/x) FOA

certifications. This course makes use of the FOA Reference Guide to Fiber Optics textbook by Jim Hayes. It is included with

your registration. The course format is a combination of lectures and hands-on training. Course topics include: Fiber Optic Theory, Fiber Optic-Applications, Cable Characteristics,

Connectors, Splicing, Testing and Troubleshooting. Students are given a practical introduction to the tools of the trade.

Examples include VFL, Light Source and Power Meter and OTDR. A Show-and-tell of various types of cables and connectors will be given. Students will be shown the techniques of handling, inspecting, cleaning, terminating, splicing and testing fiber

optic cables. The lab exercises will give ample opportunity to practice these techniques. At the end of the course, students

write the CFOT exam From IMT Computers. The exam is a test of the student’s level of knowledge of fiber-optics and covers

technology, components, installation and testing. It is a 100 question exam and the passing grade is-70%.When the students have demonstrated satisfactory technique in the lab exercises and passed the exam IMT will assign a certification number to the student and submit the student’s application to the Fiber

Optic Association. The student will then receive from the FOA a membership card in the mail in approximately six weeks. Our classes are limited to 8 students to ensure each participant

receives individual mentoring. As time allows, our instructors strive to tailor relevant portions of the lab exercises the

particular needs of the members of the class. Neonetwireless Nig Ltd ensures that each student has all the fiber optic

knowledge, tools and supplies they need to gain confidence in the future fiber optic duties.
