| A word about prerequisites for our Basic CFOT Course. To be a certified fiber optic technician registered by the FOA, one must pass a written exam and be able to demonstrate proficiency in performing assigned tasks during the hands-on activities for all courses. We are a Standards Based Company. We teach the standards. The tuitions for our courses are some of the lowest in the country yet we provide a content rich curriculum that prepares a technician to properly install, test, and troubleshoot fiber optic networks. The following is a 'quick test" to help you determine your basic knowledge level of fiber optics networks. 1.) Per ANSI/EIA/TIA568B.3, what is the maximum attenuation allowed per mated pair of connectors? 2. ) Using a Power Source & Light Meter, do you know how to determine which connector has the higher attenuation when testing a fiber segment? 3.) Do you know how to use a Bare Fiber Adapter and a VFL? 4.) Do you know how to read an OTDR Trace? If so - what is a Gainer? 5.) What is the maximum pulling tension for installing indoor fiber optics cable? 6.) Considering reference cables, can you explain Method B? Can you explain Method A? 7.) Which multimode fiber cable provides for 10GbE at 300 meters? 8.) Per 568B.3, what is the maximum attenuation allowed per splice. 9.) What are the 4 elements that make up a fiber optic transmission system? 10.) Erbium-doped optical fiber is used for what purpose? If you can not answer those questions we look forward to seeing you in our Basic 3-day CFOT Class - —– Bob Ballard, RCDD, CFOI. |
