Training optical fiber measurements on Swisscom networks according to ETOP_1816-Entire Class-25.04.23_Otelfingen

Training in measurement technology for Swisscom fiber optic networks

At the beginning all relevant basics of the different Swisscom network topologies such as FTTS, FTTO, FTTH, XGS-PON are discussed. This includes, among other things, the different fiber types, splitters, limit values and Swisscom’s requirements for measurement documentation.
The correct handling of the measuring equipment such as fiber launch, fiber inspection camera, OTDR is in the foreground of the practical training. Typical errors in the fiber optic cabling are identified and localized. The measuring requirements of the Swisscom guideline ETOP_1816 and the operation of the measuring equipment for correct measurement documentation are taught. The participants learn how to maintain the measuring equipment, keep it up to date and how to operate the corresponding software applications efficiently.
