Description, The lectures present fourteen subjects from the installer’s perspective: networks, light, fibers, cables, connectors, splicing, optoelectronics, planning, cable installation, insertion loss testing, OTDR testing, other test equipment, microscopic inspection, and network certification.
Skill development activities start with cable installation and end with certification of the transmission path when test values indicate proper and reliable installation. The 26 hands-on activities include: fiber handling, fiber preparation, cable preparation, connector installation, connector inspection, insertion loss testing, OTDR testing, acceptance value calculation, troubleshooting high loss, VFL evaluation, mid-span fusion splicing, and mid-span mechanical splicing.
Duration: 32 hours; 40 hours with certification (Fiber Optic Association CFOT certification)
Program outline: request from fiberguru@ptnowire.com
Texts: Professional Fiber Optic Installation, v10, 494 pages; PowerPoint Slides for Professional Fiber Optic Installation, 291 pages; and handouts.
History: FiberPro™ 1 is in its tenth version. FiberPro™ 1 has been delivered 126 times to more than 7700 trainees.
Note: at this time, field
polishing of connectors is not commonly done. As a result, FiberPro™ 1-2020
does not include installation with polishing. However, for training cable
assembly personnel, we deliver FiberPro™ 1 with polishing.

Objective: develop basic knowledge and skills required to design, install, test, and certify FTTH/PON networks; develop advanced skills and abilities required to install, test, and certify FTTH/PON networks.
Level: basic and advanced
Format: PowerPoint presentations (~12%) and hands on activities (~88%)
Design Description: the 21 lectures and demonstrations develop knowledge of each subject from the perspective of both designer and installer. The subjects are networks, light, fibers, cables, connectors, splicing, optoelectronics, planning, insertion loss testing; OTDR testing; network certification; the 14-step design process; and costing.
The design skill and ability development Design hands-on activities include choosing products; and developing specifications; costs; and determining acceptance values for evaluating test results.
The installation skill and ability development is the same as that in FiberPro™2.
Installation hands-on activities start with cable installation and end with operation of the link. These thirteen hands-on activities include: fiber handling; fiber preparation; cable preparation; enclosure preparation and dressing; connector installation, inspection, and cleaning; insertion loss testing; OTDR testing; calculation of acceptance values; troubleshooting links; VFL evaluation; splicing (fusion mid-span; pigtail; and mechanical); and operation of the link. Upon completion of the design hands-on activities, trainees will have created a design package consisting of specifications for all components, acceptance values for interpretation of test results, and a cost estimate. Upon completion of the installation hands-on activities, trainees will have assembled, tested, certified and verified proper operation of a 7-segment, 960m PON cable plant, suitable for any application, including FTTH, FTTx, OLAN or an ITS network.
Duration: 40 hours

Objective: learn and develop the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) required to design and install a FTTH/PON or optical LAN (OLAN).
Level: Basic
Format: PowerPoint presentations (45%) and hands on activities (~55%).
Design Description: FiberPro™ 5-PON presents design principles and develops KSAs through lectures and hands-on activities The presentations present the knowledge essential for design success. This knowledge includes networks, light, fibers, cables, connectors, splicing, passive devices, optoelectronics, planning, cable installation, insertion loss testing, OTDR testing, other test equipment, microscopic inspection, network certification, the 14-step design process, and costing. These presentations develop understanding of the language of fiber products, product types and advantages and acceptance values, product specifications, and justification for specific performance values.
The hands-on activities reinforce knowledge and develop skills. The hands-on activities include identification of specifications appropriate for each product type, development of purchase specifications for products, and identification of cost factors and development of the cost estimate. Upon completion of the hands-on activities, trainees will have created a design package consisting of specifications for all components, acceptance values for interpretation of test results, and a cost estimate.
