This two-day instructor-led course focuses on the principles behind building and maintaining high-speed optical networks where key parameters such as polarization mode dispersion and chromatic dispersion must be calculated to evaluate system capabilities and potential upgrades to higher bit rates.

Audience: Those involved with equipment or systems where fiber characterization is needed to ensure proper operation of 10Gb/s or higher data rates

Prerequisite: Previous experience with fiber optics and knowledge of OTDR testing

Note: Light Brigade is offering free printed manuals for this class. Online course materials are not available.
