With this information, the installer understands the procedures, recognizes the significance of his actions, and avoids both errors and increased cost. Chapters 10-13 present the principles on which the installation procedures are based. With an understanding of these principles, the installer follows the procedures easily and is confident that the procedures lead to success. In addition, knowledge of the principles makes learning to work with new products fast and easy Chapters 14-20 present the principles and methods for OLTS, ORL, OTDR and dispersion testing; and VFL and microscopic inspection. With these principles and methods, the installer has the ability to verify successful installation. Chapters 21-26 present the procedures that successful professional installers follow. These procedures are ideal for field work, training, and refreshing the installer's memory. This author developed and refined these procedures from field work and from training more than 8400 people during the last 21 years. When followed, these procedures result in low loss, low cost, short installation time, and high reliability. Installation organizations may be able to use these written procedures for ISO certification. The detailed and extensively illustrated installation procedures are presented in a clear, concise, step-by-step, cook-book like, manner. Each procedure includes a troubleshooting section to assist the installer in solving problems.

Download or read book Practical Fiber Optics written by David Bailey and published by Newnes. This book was released on 2003-09-24 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * Ideal for those with some background in communications but without previous knowledge of fiber optics * Provides a comprehensive treatment of the fundamentals of fiber optic systems and their individual components * Places emphasis on practical techniques of component installation and system design Fiber Optics is a technology that uses glass (or plastic) threads (fibers) to transmit data. A fiber optic cable consists of a bundle of glass threads, each of which is capable of transmitting messages modulated onto light waves. Fiber optics have several advantages over traditional metal communications lines. While there are plenty of theoretical texts on fiber optics, high-level engineering texts and installation guides, there are few comprehensive applied texts for practicing engineers. This book covers design issues, installation and troubleshooting in the right depth for engineers working in industry. Readers will use this knowledge to develop the required techniques for design, installation and maintenance of their own fiber optic systems.
