Course Outline

COURSE OUTLINE

The course will cover several modules as follows:

Optical Fiber Communication System

The aim of this topic is to provide an introduction and in-depth exposure into the fiber optic communication system, present and future technology and its applications. The module will be separated into different parts between long haul (SDH and DWDM), medium haul (MAN, CWDM and FTTH) and short haul (Optical LAN).

Optical Fiber Cables

The topic will provide participants with an overview of the light-wave and fiber technology - its background, evolution and applications. Fundamental issues concerning fibre optics and the motivation behind the current shift and migration to fiber optics based networks would be elaborated.

Optical Fiber Devices

Participants would be introduced to the various components and devices that constitute a fibre-based communication system. These include passive and active devices such as optical couplers, isolators, wavelength-division multiplexers (WDM), optical amplifier, transmitter and receiver. Standard of tests and measurements in characterizing the passive components such as insertion loss (IL), return loss (RL), splitting ratio and etc will provide the best understanding of the passive components in fiber optic applications.

Optical Fiber Test and Measurement Techniques

System maintenance work involves the periodic testing of its performance and identification of points of errors. This

CERTIFIED FIBER OPTIC TECHNICIAN (CFOT)

Provided by Aztel Corporation (M) Sdn Bhd, better known as AztelCorp is an approved school from International Association of Fiber Optic (IAFO) based in California USA.
We have been involved in the high end training especially in the field of telecommunications since the very beginning of our establishment in 1988. AztelCorp is the premier supplier, contractor, training provider in Fiber Optic Technology, Wireless Technology, Network Security, Industrial Automation and many more.
Our trainers culminated experience and skill both in the academic and private sectors will assure participants an in depth knowledge of the subject matter.
Thus we would like to welcome participants from all background to join our CFOT training which at the end of the program will be honored with the certificate acknowledge by IAFO.

THE PROGRAM– CFOT

This program is designed to provide the participants with the fundamental and latest information in fiber optics and photonics technologies that are needed to understand about fiber optics communication systems, elements, devices, components, applications, tests and the relevant issues.

COURSE OBJECTIVES


The objectives of the training program are:
  • To introduce to the fundamentals of fiber optics technology and fiber optics communications with the latest updates
  • To understand the requirements and specifications of fiber and cable involved
  • To understand the skill and knowledge in termination and connectorisation
Familiarization of optical test equipment and knowledge on how to perform testing correctly. It also requires the technician to be able to analyse the data obtained and make an accurate conclusion from it. The test and measurement devices in this module include OTDR, light source and optical power meter and splicing machines.

Previous fiber optic knowledge will be an added advantage.

CERTIFICATE

Certificate of Fiber Optic Technician (CFOT), by AztelCorp is approved by US IAFO school, will be issued at the end of the course to participants who passed the exam.
