You will gain the background knowledge required to comprehend the principles of fiber optic systems and each of its component parts, such as fibers, cable structure, connectors, splices, optical sources, and detectors, throughout this extensive five-day training. Implementing fiber optic systems can lead to a number of issues, which are addressed here along with practical fixes. It will supply you the information needed to create the necessary methods for fiber optic system design, installation, and upkeep. The practical methods of system design and component installation are heavily emphasized in the session. You will be able to gain practical expertise fitting the common industrial fiber connections as well as mechanical and fusion splicing.
