Professional Fiber Optic Installation, Splicing & Testing
Course Overview
This program provides comprehensive, field-oriented training to develop professional fiber-optic technicians capable of working on both ISP (Indoor) and OSP (Outdoor) projects.
The course focuses on real-world practices, including fiber installation, fusion splicing, termination, and advanced testing (OTDR) using industry-standard tools and procedures.
With a strong emphasis on hands-on training, participants will simulate actual site conditions, enabling them to confidently execute fiber optic projects with high performance, low loss, and full compliance with standards.
Target Audience
- Fresh graduates (Telecom / Electrical / IT)
- Fiber optic technicians and installers
- Network and telecom engineers
- Field engineers and supervisors
- Maintenance and troubleshooting teams
Course Objectives
By the end of this program, participants will be able to:
- Understand fiber optic theory, advantages, and applications
- Differentiate between single-mode and multimode systems
- Identify various fiber optic cable types, structures, and specifications
- Perform proper fiber cable preparation and handling
- Execute fusion splicing and mechanical splicing with low loss
- Terminate fiber cables in ODF and patch panels
- Install fiber networks in aerial, duct, and direct burial environments
- Use testing tools including VFL, Power Meter, and OTDR
- Analyze OTDR traces and detect faults accurately
- Understand and deploy passive optical components (splitters, couplers)
- Apply labeling, documentation, and best practices in real projects
