Introduction to FTTx Outside Plant Design Thursday, October 3 8:00 am – 5:00 pm Room 16

It can be difficult to find information on the most economical locations to place FTTx network elements in the field. This “Introduction to FTTx Outside Plant Design” course introduces FTTx network field configurations, design benchmarks, and installation parameters for high-rise buildings, campus style apartments, single- family urban residential areas, and rural areas. For attendees new to FTTH, the session will start with the basics of PON and P2P FTTH systems and then expand to cover key points in an OSP design.

Content includes how OSP designs must address how customer take rate and density determine splitter location when using distributed splitting, centralized splitter cabinets, and home runs. Steps for completing each design strategy are introduced alongside illustrated examples in order to help the attendee differentiate design options and strategy to determine which is most economical to deploy in each circumstance.

Certified Fiber to the Home Professional (CFHP) Workshop Thursday, October 3 – Friday, October 4 8:00 am – 5:00 pm Room 15

The Certified Fiber to the Home Professional (CFHP) certification program is sponsored and operated by the FTTH Council. Certification at the CFHP level indicates a professional level of technical competence in fiber-to-the-home related technologies and applications. This two-day CFHP workshop is designed to help industry professionals prepare for the FTTH Council’s CFHP certification examination. The content discusses: applications, bandwidth issues, economics, optical fibers and cables, FTTH standards, network topologies, components, cable management, cable and fiber termination, splitter placement, network design, FTTB, loss budgets, and test disciplines.

These high-performance devices provide an enjoyable user experience because they are so familiar to us. Their intelligent applications enable multitasking and make our day-to-day activities more efficient and fun. Inspired by this technology and growing reality, the next breed of fiber-optic test equipment must bring similar advantages to technicians. Building faster, more reliable networks, while reducing OPEX with limited CAPEX, calls for intelligent test tools. EXFO was inspired.
