Fibre to the Home (FTTH) Course Overview
This comprehensive 3-day course has been designed for new entrants into the communication sector however is also relevant to fibre engineers, maintenance personnel and those already working with fibre optic cabling within the internal cabling environment and wishing to enter the FTTH market.
Delegates learn, through extensive theoretical study and actual hands-on practical exercises, how to set up and install FTTH. Covering cabling distances, hazards associated with blown fibre, distribution and the termination of external grade cables into external enclosures and street cabinets.
