Installing
FTTx Networks
Objectives:
From this self-study lesson you should learn:
- How has the installation of FTTx networks evolved?
- What are the options available for installation?
- What new components have been developed to facilitate
FTTx installations?
- What happens at the home or premises?
- What is different about multi-dwelling units?
There
is probably no way to generalize on the installation
process for FTTx since every system is unique and, in some
cases, every subscriber is different. Rather than telling
you how to install FTTx, we will try to illustrate some of
the ways that others have installed their systems and
offer advice on how to design and install systems most
efficiently.
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.
