This
book is an guide to the design and installation of outside plant fiber
optic cabling networks. It was written as a reference book for
instructors and students in classes aimed at FOA CFospT certification
as well as a reference for anyone working in the field. This book
offers expansive coverage on the components and processes of fiber
optics as used in all outside plant applications and installation
practices. Underground, buried, aerial and submarine/underwater
installations are covered in detail as is specialized testing for
extreme long distance networks. Fiber to the home is given special
treatment in an appendix where these new generation networks are
described in detail.
This book is part of the set of the new FOA fiber optic reference guides including:
The
FOA has always tried to provide the world with sources of technically
correct, unbiased information on fiber optics using both print and
electronic media. The FOA Online Reference Guide on the FOA website
is probably the largest and most used reference site
on fiber optics on the Internet. The FOA Online Reference Guide
provides a readily-accessed reference for FOA certifications for those
schools using electronic texts. For those who prefer printed
materials, we offer this book, a basic reference for fiber optics and a
study guide for FOA certifications. Supplementary materials with even
more depth on many subjects, of course, will be on the FOA website.
The
new FOA book uses state-of-the-art "publish on demand" technology where
the book is printed when you order it using the latest printing
technology. This new technology is less expensive than conventional
publishing plus the cost of inventory is no longer an issue for books.
We can update the book easily to keep up with new technology,
applications, and FOA programs. And using a web ordering and delivery
system saves even more costs associated with the overhead and
distribution of a conventional publisher. The FOA, a real non-profit
organization working for the good of the industry, is passing these
savings directly on to you!
