  • Optical Fiber
    Optical fiber From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search A bundle of optical fibers A TOSLINK fiber optic audio cable being illuminated at one end An optical fiber or optical fibre is a thin, flexible, transparent fiber that acts as a waveguide, or "light pipe", to transmit light between the two ends of the fiber. The field of applied science and engineering concerned with the design and application of optical fibers is known as fiber optics. Optical fibers are widely used in fiber-optic communications, which permits transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data rates) than other forms of communication. Fibers are used instead of metal wires because signals travel along them with less loss and are also immune to electromagnetic interference. Fibers are also used for illumination, and are wrapped in bundles so they can be used to carry images, thus allowing viewing in tight spaces. Specially designed fibers are used for a variety of other applications, including sensors and fiber lasers. Optical fiber typically consists of a transparent core surrounded by a transparent cladding material with a lower index of refraction. Light is kept in the core by total internal reflection. This causes the fiber to act as a waveguide. Fibers which support many propagation paths or transverse modes are called multi-mode fibers (MMF), while those which can only support a single mode are called single-mode fibers (SMF). Multi-mode fibers generally have a larger core diameter, and are used for short-distance communication links and for applications where high power must be transmitted.

  • The Certified Fiber Optics Designer (FOD) Certification
    Certified Fiber Optics Designer (FOD) Competency Requirements Fiber Optics Designers (FOD) are expected to obtain knowledge of basic concepts of fiber optics design and installation which are applicable to all the functions required to safely and competently plan and install fiber optical communications cabling in a LAN/WAN environment. This FOD certification covers all aspects of a successful fiber optic system design from network protocols, network configurations, optical cabling, industry communications standards, determination of fiber count, hardware selection, splicing/termination methods, and cable system testing and documentation. All that is learned in class is put into practice through multiple and intensive case studies. Prior knowledge, skill, experience with and aspects of optical fiber Installation found in the ETA Fiber Optics Installer (FOI) and/or one of the Fiber Optics Technician (FOT) certifications is highly suggested, but not required. Once an FOD has acquired these skills, abilities and knowledge through a special course, fee and hands-on skills exam from an ETA approved school are the required pre-requisites before sitting for the knowledge exam; he or she should be able to enter employment in the telecommunications cabling field with minimal training in areas unique to the special requirements of individual products or systems designs. Fiber Optics Designers must be knowledgeable and have abilities in the following technical areas: 1.0 THEORY AND PRINCIPLES OF FIBER OPTICS 1.1 Outline the basic structure of optical
