Practical Optical Fibre

Practical Optical Fibre

Find out just how simple it really is to plan, design, splice and connect optical fibre. On Day 1 we take you through the essential principles and provide you with the chance to plan and design a fibre system. On Day 2 we spend most of the time in the workshops splicing, olishing and installing cameras over fibre networks.
