Optical fiber is central to the successful operation of a wide variety of
high-speed communications applications. Two large initiatives are driving
demand to the everyday consumer FTTD (Fiber to the Desktop) and FTTH (Fiber
to the Home). Internet Bandwidth should continue to drive the demand for
new fiber. A rapid growth in computer, local and wide area networks has
created an increased demand for technicians to design, install, maintain
and troubleshoot the fiber optic cabling networks. What does this mean?
It means the continued growth and demand for Fiber Optics Technology.
Recently, three of the nation's largest telecommunications service providers
- BellSouth, SBC Communications, and Verizon Communications took a major
step toward building super-fast fiber optic lines directly to homes and businesses.
They adopted a set of common technical requirements based on established
industry standards and specifications for fiber to the premises (FTTP) technology
used to connect homes and businesses to telecomm networks. Many communication
technologies have claimed to meet our future bandwidth demands, but few have.
Optical fiber is a true exception. This is the reason why you and your employees
need to get their Fiber Optics Certifications.
- ETA Certified Fiber Optics Installer
ECPI offers a 24-hour Electronics Technicians Association (ETA) Certified Fiber
Optics Installer (CFOI) training program. This course is intended to provide
a more in-depth study of the topics related to Fiber Optics Installer Certification.
Students will be introduced to Fiber Optics to help them establish a basic
understanding of the fiber optics industry and its technology, common terminology,
fiber optic theory, and fiber optic components. In addition, students will
construct fiber optic connectors using Standard Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS)
connectors, test fiber optic connectors, splices, and cables in accordance
with telecommunication industry standards. Build and test fiber cables and
components using Standard Mechanical Splices and learn appropriate techniques
for Fusion Splicing and testing fiber optic cables with an OTDR (Optical Time
Domain Reflectometer)
- ETA Certified Fiber Optics Technician
ECPI offers a 32-hour Electronics Technicians Association (ETA) Certified Fiber
Optics Technician (CFOT) training program. This certification will provide
the knowledge and skills needed to certify and troubleshoot fiber optic cable
networks accurately and efficiently. Trainees will certify or troubleshoot
different cable systems with a combination of fibers, connectors, and splices.
These cable systems will be modeled on the most commonly occurring problems.
The Certified Fiber Optics Technician course involves a shortened overview
of the basics and more extended troubleshooting practice.
- ETA Certified Fiber Optics Designer
ECPI offers a 40-hour Electronics Technicians Association (ETA) Certified Fiber
Optics Designer (CFOD) training program. This new optical designer certification
will provide an in-depth knowledge of optical local area networks. This course
covers all aspects of a successful fiber optic system design from network protocols,
network configurations, optical cabling, industry communications standards,
determination of fiber count, hardware selection, splicing/termination methods,
and cable system testing and documentation. All that is learned in class is
put into practice through multiple and intensive case studies.
