As a transport medium, copper has significant bandwidth and distance limitations. Fortunately, an alternative exists mankind has yet to determine the bandwidth or distance limitations of fiber optic cable. In this exciting course, discover how recent developments in fiber optic technology and DWDM are changing the world of bandwidth forever. This course also provides an overview of SONET and optical transmission technologies, as well as the equipment found in optical networks.

Contractors, union craftsman, electricians, technicians, installers, splicers, LAN managersadministrators, end-users, engineers, MIS managers, facilities managers, architects and developers, systems engineers, telecom managers and anyone involved in repairing, installing, maintaining, designing, evaluating, or provisioning Cable, Fiber Optic Cables and Optical Networks.
