FIBER OPTICS: INSTALLATION, TESTING, COMMISSIONING, TROUBLESHOOTING, AND MAINTENANCE
12 - 13 AUGUST 2026
COURSE INTRODUCTION
This practical programme develops the knowledge required to inspect, test and commission fibre-optic transmission systems. Participants review optical transmission fundamentals, network components, connectors, loss measurement, testing methods and commissioning checks so they can support reliable installation, verification and system handover. Practical examples and guided discussion help participants connect the subject to decisions and challenges in their own workplace.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
By the end of this programme, participants should be able to:
- Explain optical-fibre transmission principles and the functions of key network elements.
- Identify common fibre types, connectors and installation considerations.
- Select appropriate loss-measurement and fibre-test methods.
- Interpret test results against acceptance criteria and link-budget requirements.
- Carry out systematic pre-commissioning and commissioning checks.
- Prepare clear test records and handover documentation for fibre-optic systems.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This programme is suitable for telecommunications and network engineers, fibre technicians, installers, commissioning personnel, maintenance teams, project supervisors and QA/QC staff responsible for verifying fibre-optic installation and system performance.
