Certified Fibre Characterisation Engineer (CFCE) Training Programme

Course Description:

Understand the fibre optic tests that are required to prove that advanced fibre infrastructures can support high data rate applications (10Gb/s, 40Gb/s) as well as extended wavelength range operation for DWDM and CWDM systems.

Apply the full power of modern multi-purpose test platforms to carry out these tests including bi-directional OTDR testing, chromatic dispersion, polarisation mode dispersion and spectral attenuation. Process the results swiftly and efficiently using test report software to provide full system documentation.

Pass the exam to gain Certified Fibre Characterisation Engineer (CFCE) status. This course covers all topics covered on our separate Advanced OTDR and Advanced PMD & CD courses.

Who is the course for?
This advanced level course assumes that you have previous experience of OTDR testing and provides experience of using modern multi-purpose test platforms for testing typical telecoms links.

Course content:
At the end of this course you will be able to:
• explain the significance of modern fibre specifications including G.652.A, B, C & D, G.655.x & G.656
• appreciate the characteristics of the infrastructure that can impair system performance
• design and plan test programmes to meet customer and operational requirements
• explain test specifications and describe the purpose of OTDR and OSA testing
• analyse OTDR traces and event tables
• analyse OSA scans and tables
• describe what chromatic dispersion is and how it is measured
• describe what PMD is and how it can be measured
• perform full fibre characterisation on installed fibre systems
• interpret the results of fibre characterisation and map against application support criteria.
