We currently offer our training via e-learning software and traditional classroom based training. For professionals with limited time and travel ability, some of our entry level courses are offered online while some of our more advanced offerings can be taken using a combination of online preparation and classroom based hands-on workshops.
Online/Classroom Combination Courses

Combination courses are currently offered with an online self-paced lecture and a hands-on workshop. This innovative approach to Fiber Optic training and certification allows students to minimize expense, time and travel while learning at their own pace on their own schedule (by using online e-Learning to complete the lecture portion of the class.) Students may then complete the hands-on portions of the class at any of our scheduled sessions around the world (and can review the material within one year of registering for the course.) If online training is not ideal for your learning style, a more traditional instructor-led lecture or questions and answer section is available upon request depending upon location and the size of the class.

TR-FBE FiberBase Engineering Training

This three-day course provides participants with the training needed to create and maintain a relational database on a fiber distribution system. Students are asked to bring a sample of what they use to document their fiber networks. On the last day of training students will further develop their skills by using a CAD/CAM drawing of a particular room or a design drawing of a portion of their long or short haul routes between network structures.
Use FiberBase as your document repository to quickly find important material related to your network. FiberBase can store relevant details such as: the location of an enclosure or piece of equipment, a picture of an enclosure or a break out of what fibers terminate where. These are only a few examples of the limitless benefits of storing your business information in FiberBase.

Introducing FiberBase Fiber Network Mapping
FiberBase is a sophisticated database and mapping package designed for todays broadband environment. Designed by industry professionals, FiberBase lets you map all your network assets in a GIS enabled database, completely document your network from entire routes to individual fibers, and plan for network expansion. Check out our FiberBase specific page for more info!
Utilizing Pitney Bowes Business Insight (formerly MapInfo, FiberBase can handle networks of any size. This powerful platform can show you exactly where a particular asset is located, find faults in an OTDR trace on a map, and calculate fiber distance between two points (including twist factor.) The map workspace is only one of many workspaces which work in conjunction with each other to provide you with all the tools you need to efficiently plan, track and run your fiber network.
FiberBase allows you to zoom in on any cable sheath to see exactly what fibers are contained within. Valuable tool-tips are available when you mouse over any network element The sheath segment workspace is only one of many workspaces which work in conjunction with each other to provide you with all the tools you need to efficiently plan, track and run your fiber network.
Network planning can happen in FiberBase before any work is done ensuring that the new connections are the most efficient possible. In this diagram, the red connections are "live" and the blue ones are planned. The connection workspace is only one of many workspaces which work in conjunction with each other to provide you with all the tools you need to efficiently plan, track and run your fiber network.
FiberBase gives you the ability to launch the transport topology to display a logical view of the light path and the MapWorkspace to view a geographical view of the light path. As you move your cursor along the OTDR trace, the location of your cursor will be displayed logically on the transport topology and geographically on the map allowing you to quickly identify the exact location of each event on the OTDR trace.

Introducing FiberBase Fiber Network Mapping

Top 5 Reasons to Implement Fiber Asset Management Software
Hierarchically List Your Fiber Assets from Map Regions to Signals on a Cable
Locate Outages Quickly and Accurately from OTDR Traces
The importance of having a complete listing of your equipment, where it is located, and what it is attached to cannot be underestimated in any size network. Regardless of whether you're talking about copper or fiber, networks can be pretty complex. Once you throw in systems like PacketLight's new PL-2000 Multiprotocol/ Multi-rate Sub-10G Muxponder (which is a highly specialized and complex network device) these network models quickly require software solutions to be adequately mapped.
It's fairly likely that you use OTDR traces to determine the integrity of your network. Unfortunately OTDRs don't know the difference between a cable that's running up a pole or one that's inside an underground cable run. Without properly mapping your network it's hard to find the source of a problem, even when you know how far away it is in cable distance. Rescanning at various points to find the problem is time consuming and unnecessary. Map your network and find those problems in as little as one scan!
Document your entire network geographically, from regions to signals on a single cable Calculate signal loss as it travels along a path through devices
Perform Complex Queries on Your Network Infrastructure
Integrate with Networking Monitoring Services
If you want to find out which customers are being affected by that backhoe that dug up one of your major route segments or determine how many pieces of equipment in your central office are older than 5 years you've got a lot of arduous research to do. Asset Management software makes these kinds of tasks a snap since everything in the database can be queried.
Network Monitoring Devices are the hot new item in Fiber Optics. They continuously scan your network for signal degradation allowing you to fix problems before they cause outages. The essence of #4 is that Network Monitoring Devices require a GIS map of a fiber network to truly be effective. Since they can tell you how far from the scan the trouble is, it's simple to plot that across your mapped route segments. Using map packages can even give you a street address or closest intersection for the damage!
Reduce Paper Waste
It goes without saying that filing cabinets aren't ideal data repositories. Besides being vulnerable to fire, coffee spills, and lousy filing practices they take up a lot of space and require a lot of time to use. If you haven't already computerized your office, what are you waiting for?
Fiber Asset Management allows you to: Keep track of all your installed fiber Plan network expansion Track repairs and modifications Maximize your network ROI

Standards, Conversions & Color Coding FLAMMABILITY CABLE RATINGS

All premises cables shall be listed and have flammability ratings per NEC 770.50. Cables without markings should never be installed inside buildings, as they do not comply with the National Electric Code. Optical cable markings are as follows:

COLOR CODING CABLE & JACKETS

Colors of cable jackets for identifying indoor fiber optic cable are not standardized. Typical colors are as follows: Premises Cables Orange or Gray Multimode Fiber Yellow Singlemode Fiber Outside Plant Cables These are typically black to prevent UV radiation damage. ColorS and Codes Fiber Color codes are specified by TIA/EIA 598A. In loose tube cables, this color code will be used for tubes as well as fibers within the tubes and subgroups.
