The FOA Badge In Fiber Optics Self Study Program

Lecture 10, Fiber Optic Installation

How are fiber optic networks installed?
 
Objectives: From this lesson you should learn:
What is involved in a fiber optic installation
The role of the contractor and installer
How to prepare for the installation
What is involved in the installation process
How to verify the quality of the installation
Safety for fiber optic installations


Your final lesson covers fiber optic installation. After the process of designing fiber optic networks is completed, the next step is to install it. What do we mean by the “installation process?” Assuming the design is completed, we’re looking at the process of physically installing  and completing the network, turning the design into an operating system.

This is a more complex process than it may seem at first. This lesson covers preparing for the installation, requirements for training and safety and then the actual installation process. The video lecture on Cabling Project Management discusses the process of building a network, and we recommend the video to get an overview of the process.
