FTTx Outside Plant Design

This three-day class has been developed with 16 hours of classroom lecture and 8 hours of hands-on design exercises to teach attendees to apply critical issues such as take rate and density to outside plant design. This course covers FTTH network field configurations, design benchmarks, and installation parameters for active Ethernet and PON systems. Attendees will create their own FTTx network designs in classroom break-out sessions, applying the learned objectives to distributed split, centralized split, home run, and point-to-point systems. Prerequisites: This class requires knowledge of fiber optic theory and terminology, as well as field experience, or equivalent formal training such as the Certified Fiber to the Home Professional (classroom or online) course. Certifications and Credits: Fiber Broadband Association FTTx OSP Design Light Brigade Certificate of Completion
