Course Overview
This course presents a detailed overview of the technology fundamentals and Passive Optical Networks (PONs) including the topology, network problems and fault isolation, and real-world issues that impact quality of service as well as fiber inspection techniques and connectivity/continuity tests. Learn the recommended approach for how to characterize and certify fiber using three key fiber tests, fiber inspection, connectivity/continuity and OTDR for FTTx, FTTP, and FTTA. Understand how to confidently troubleshoot network faults and locate problems in FTTx and PON networks.
