  • What courses do I take and which ones are required first?
The CFOT course is a prerequisite for all other courses  One must have successfully
completed this course or have tested out of the course by passing the written and
hands-on exams.  For more information on testing out of this course, contact our office.

If your mission is primarily inside plant installations, with some fusion splicing, we
recommend the CFOT, CFOS/T, and the CFOS/S courses.
.
If your mission is primarily outside plant installations, we recommend the CFOT and the
CFOS/O courses.

 If you plan to do all aspects of fiber optics networking for both inside and outside
 applications, we recommend all of the courses.  Because it is difficult to attend all courses
 at once, you should consider the CFOT followed by the CFOS/T and attend the others
 at a later date if possible.
 Note: Seldom do we offer all four courses together
 unless by special request.

  • Does the 3-day CFOT teach me everything I need to know?
No.  The CFOT course is a basic introductory course with a brief overview of fiber
optics networking including fusion splicing, installation, testing and troubleshooting.   Hands -on
activities requires the student to install, terminate, test, and troubleshoot a MM network.

  • What are the costs for the courses?
CFOT (3-day) - $700.00/student
 
CFOS/T (2-day) - $675.00/student
 
CFOS/S (2-day) - $675.00/student
 
CFOS/O (2-day) - $775.00/student
 CFOS/H (2-day - $775.00/student (Coming)

  • If I want to have an on site, private session what are the minimum number of  
    students?
 Depending on where you are located, the minimum is 5 students with a two course
 minimum.  We usually do not charge for travel.  But, check with our office for specifics.

Course Overview.
From OFS Furukawa - Optical Fiber for the Data Center
Managers of data centers and enterprise networks are trying to do their jobs in an ever-
shifting marketplace, with nearly all the changes being driven by one word— bandwidth.
Consider this: Global Internet protocol (IP) traffic will quadruple from 2011 to 2016, reaching
1.3 zettabytes (1.3 x 1021 bytes) by the end of that period.

The primary transmission medium recognized in the standards for these high-speed, high-
bandwidth applications is optical fiber. Work on fiber and cabling standards continues at a
feverish pace to support these demands. Get the latest updates on fiber technology,
standards and system design in this article from John Kamino, Multimode Product Manager
for OFS.
