Fiber Optics

Certified Fiber Optic Technician (CFOT)
A course leading to CFOT certification can be structured for contractors, installers, splicers, testers, system technicians, manufacturing personnel or support personnel in most any application since the basic CFOT exam covers subjects fundamental to all these applications. Students in a CFOT course will learn: Why fiber optics is being implemented, including technical, marketing and financial justifications; the types of communications networks where fiber is being used, advantages and disadvantages of fiber and other communications media; the types and styles of fiber optic components in use and how to install them; installation requirements of fiber optic cabling networks; testing and troubleshooting fiber optic links; specialized safety requirements of fiber optics; and students will be introduced to network design, estimating, documentation and restoration.

Advanced Fiber Optic Technician (AFOT)
The AFOT certification course has considerably more hands-on labs to develop skills in termination, splicing and testing. A course leading to AFOT certification can be structured for contractors, installers, splicers, testers, system technicians, manufacturing personnel or support personnel in most any application since the basic AFOT exam covers subjects fundamental to all these applications. Students in the AFOT course will learn: More depth on fiber optic components: cables, connectors, splices, hardware; fiber optic network design, including choosing cable, splice and connector types, calculating a power budget for the design; installation practices of premises and OSP fiber optic cabling networks, including pulling cables, installing conduit, cable trays, splice closures, etc; develop skills in cable preparation, termination and splicing in labs that offer extensive practice; testing and troubleshooting fiber optic links: visual tracing and fault location, insertion loss testing and taking and analyzing OTDR traces; planning for network restoration; specialized safety requirements of fiber optics.

Certified Fiber to the Home/Premises (CFxT)

This course covers training personnel on Fiber To The Home/Premises/Curb (called FTTx). The course can be used to either train installation technicians already familiar with fiber optic installation (and FOA CFOT certified) or can be structured to train other personnel in support roles, including customer service. Students in this course will learn: Why FTTx is being implemented today, including technical, marketing and financial justifications; the types of FTTx architectures being used, advantages and disadvantages of each and types of components required; technical details of specialized FTTx components like splitters and wavelength-division multiplexers and requirements for cables, connectors, splices and hardware; design and installation requirements particular to FTTx; testing and troubleshooting FTTx links; Specialized safety requirements of FTTx.
