Training Course
Characterize Fiber Infrastructure Professionally, to Assess its Quality and Capacity
This five-day course teaches test engineers to carry out full fiber characterization, including bi-directional loss, OTDR testing, chromatic dispersion, Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) and spectral attenuation measurements.
The CFCE course will enable you to recognize why different tests are required and what information they should provide as well as how to carry them out. This course assumes that you have some previous experience of basic OTDR testing, but provides advanced OTDR training as well as CD and PMD training.

Audience: The course is critical for fiber optic test engineers, technicians, technical support, optical network project managers and supervisors, and hyperscalers or any company utilizing fiber characterization contractors.
Prerequisite: This is an advanced course and assumes that you have some previous experience of optical loss and OTDR testing.
Is this the right course for you and your team?
As data rates increase and systems become more complex there are more factors that can impair system performance. This course is designed to help you master the fiber optic tests that are required to prove that advanced fiber infrastructures are of a good quality and can support direct detection and coherent systems for high data rate applications from 10Gb/s to 400Gb/s and beyond. You will also be able to assess support for Raman amplification as well as extended wavelength range operation for DWDM and CWDM systems. Typically it is necessary to characterize fibers when dark fiber contracts are signed, to prove that the fibers will operate satisfactorily for the duration of the contract period.
You will learn to apply the full power of multi-purpose test platforms with their powerful array of measurement capabilities to carry out these tests including insertion and return loss measurements, bi-directional OTDR testing, chromatic dispersion, Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) and spectral attenuation. You will learn how to check the validity of the measurements, to avoid costly mistakes and time consuming re-tests. You’ll be able to process the results swiftly and efficiently, using test report software, to provide full system documentation. By appreciating the issues behind the tests you will be able to assess link performance intelligently against application support criteria.
