The FOA Badge In Fiber Optics Self Study Program
Lecture
10, Fiber Optic Installation

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.
