Fiber Optic Technician

A Fiber Optics Technician has a advanced understanding of inside plant optical fiber, connector, and splice performance characteristics, and can use these performance characteristics to create a worst case power budget for a fiber optic systems design in a cable plant. A Fiber Optics Technician can proficiently perform optical loss testing as described and perform connector endface evaluation. Using an OTDR, an FOT can effectively locate faults in a fiber optic cable, mated connector pairs, or splices, as well as evaluate optical fiber performance, mated connector pair performance, or splice performance to meet industry standards.
