Public Fibre Optic Training Courses
Advanced OTDR
This course is designed to ensure that test technicians are competent to carry out fibre characterisation tasks in the field and to produce reliable results for analysis by an Engineer (CFCE).
Purpose
The focus is on how to carry out the tests efficiently, and how to verify that the acquired data is valid, record results accurately and store information efficiently, because being methodical and recognising reliable results is the key to avoiding repeat visits to sites to fill in gaps or repeat measurements that were carried out incorrectly.
The AOTDR course can be delivered as a closed company course and as a public course, focused on the specific test equipment and working practices in use within an organisation and can be customised to suit organisational requirements.
This course concentrates on directed practical sessions with exercises on:
- Inspecting & Cleaning Connectors
- Insertion Loss Testing
- Spectral Attenuation Measurements
- Return Loss Measurements
- Bi-directional Otdr Testing
Features
Key Outcomes
- Clean all types of fibre optic connectors effectively
- Carry out video inspection of connector end faces and store the images
- Carry out insertion loss measurements, verify their validity and record the results
- Set up an OTDR correctly for optimum performance
- Analyse OTDR traces and event tables for evidence of problems
- Store OTDR traces efficiently with full information and meaningful filenames
Role
If you have responsibility for specifying test methods, purchasing test equipment, analysing the test results and producing reports then you will need the more in-depth engineer grade course (CFCE).
