FTTx Basics

FTTx Basics is a two-part course called FTTx Elements and Installation and Troubleshooting. The demand for faster data speeds continues to escalate at a rapid pace. Fiber-to-the-“x” or fiber-to-the-node, curb, business, home, premises, etc., is one way to satisfy this demand. Many broadband companies are rapidly deploying FTTx, particularly FTTH (fiber-to-the-home), which is increasing in part due to competitive pressures. A company with technicians who are well trained in FTTx has the leverage it needs to build great networks and keep up with the growing demand for fast fiber. The FTTx Basics course teaches fiber-optic network architectures and provides in-depth, step-by-step instructions for connecting a customer with a fiber-optic drop and how to recognize and remedy common fiber optic issues.
