Fiber Optic Splicing Course (1-Day Training)

CFOT is required before taking this class.

This intensive, hands-on course provides both the knowledge and practical skills needed to perform high-quality fiber optic splices with confidence.

Course Highlights:

• In-Depth Instruction: Learn the importance of high-performance splicing through a detailed PowerPoint presentation that goes beyond standard textbook content.

• OTDR Overview: Gain an understanding of Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) functions and how to interpret OTDR traces.

• Hands-On Experience (75% of Class):

  • Practice both fusion and mechanical splicing on single-mode and multi-mode fiber optic cables.

  • Work with both indoor and outdoor cable types, splice trays, and enclosures (rack-mounted, wall-mounted, and outside plant).

  • Learn to install, manage, and protect spliced fibers within enclosures.

• Performance Standards: Students must achieve a splice loss of less than 0.15 dB and demonstrate proficiency in analyzing splice quality using OTDR traces.

Certification & Recognition:
This course is recognized by the U.S. Department of Labor and sanctioned by the Fiber Optic Association (FOA).
