Practical Fiber Optics and Interfacing Techniques to industrial Ethernet and Wireless Course
Introduction:
This comprehensive Five-day workshop will provide you with the necessary background to understand the fundamentals of fibre optic systems and their individual components including fibres, cable construction, connectors, splices and optical sources and detectors. Various pitfalls associated with the implementation of fiber optic systems are discussed and workable solutions to these problems are provided. It will provide you with the knowledge to develop the required techniques for design, installation, and maintenance of fibre optic systems. The workshop places significant emphasis on the practical techniques of component installation and system design. You will have the opportunity to get hands-on experience with mechanical and fusion splicing and with fitting the popular industrial fiber connectors. A fiber optic link design software package is provided to allow you to practice actual link design practicals using various parameters. Finally, you will have the opportunity to practice using various fiber optic test equipment such as optical sources and power meters. At the conclusion of the course, you will gain know-how in interfacing, integrating, and troubleshooting fiber with industrial wireless and Ethernet systems.
