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 provides cloud-access course materials at no charge. A printed manual for the class is available for $149 extra fee. Please email after submitting registration if you would like a print copy.
