The updated 3rd Edition of the Fiber Optics Technician's Manual
This newly updated edition reflects recent changes in fiber optic technology, marketing, and applications, including wider usage of Fiber To The Home (FTTH) applications and LANs (Local Area Networks). A practical guide for designers, installers, and troubleshooters of fiber optic cable plants and networks, this book provides a comprehensive overview of all aspects of fiber optics as used in communications systems, including telephone, CATV, and computers. Beginning with a brief history of the development of fiber optics, the third edition progresses from the basics of the technology and its components, to installation and testing.

  • Includes hands-on labs utilizing actual installation practices for enhanced learning
  • Features chapter-end review questions that allow for knowledge assessment and targeted review of topics needing reinforcement
  • Serves as an excellent preparation manual for the Certified Fiber Optic Technician certification exam
