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 organization of this book is very different from The Fiber Optic Technicians Manual,
our previous reference book. It is much better organized for teaching
fiber optics and for self-study by those wanting to learn the practical
applications and installation practices. See the Table of Contents below. 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!
