Need to have the OTDR Know How?………..Then this course is for you…

This 1 day course is the ultimate “master class” for fibre optic cabling installers, technicians and fibre optic engineers who are already involved in carrying out tests on fibre optic cabling systems.

The course aims to provide the delegate with a much greater depth of understanding of the processes behind the OTDR

As part of the course, there will be an explanation of system design parameters and advanced testing requirements, for both multimode and singlemode fibre optic cabling systems. There is a separate “hands on” practical session.
