Designing
FTTx Networks
Objectives:
From this self-study lesson you should learn:
- Issues applicable to FTTx design
- How to get started on the network design
- Sources of more information on fiber optic network
design
- How to do a simple exercise in network design
FTTx
network design is not something you can summarize in a few
paragraphs. With numerous network types and architectures,
component choices and, of course, the uniqueness of each
local network, one must first learn the background
information before beginning to design a project. If you
have completed the first five lesson plans, you should
have a good ideal of what is involved in a FTTx network.
For this lesson, we will send you to some sources of basic
information on fiber optic network design and provide you
with a simple FTTH network that will illustrate some of
the issues you will face when designing real networks.
The course leads you to read online or printed materials
(with an emphasis on the online using the FOA Guide),
watch FOA YouTube Videos, complete some activities and
take the quizzes. Each lesson plan will be self-contained.
Lesson plans open in new pages so the course overview page
stays open to lead you to the next lesson or you may use
the link at the bottom of the page.
