This module is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the skills, knowledge, and attitudes essential for the effective execution of fiber optic network projects. It begins by emphasizing the importance of a meticulous site survey, guiding participants in the proper selection of fiber optic connectors and cables, and ensuring accurate determination of pipes and fiber cores in alignment with established procedures. Attention is given to the identification and preparation phase, where tools, materials, and equipment are appropriately recognized for their application in the specified tasks. Safety considerations, including the measurement of occupational health and safety risks and the implementation of corresponding safety measures during optical fiber cable termination, are thoroughly addressed. The course further delves into the installation process, covering the laying of optical fiber cables, termination, and connection of terminating devices in accordance with industry standards. Emphasis is placed on accurate testing of optical fibers for continuity and the adept identification and rectification of faults. Ongoing quality checks, following established procedures, are integrated into the curriculum, along with the development of fiber optics topology. The module concludes by guiding participants through the approval process, ensuring that installed cabling aligns with specified requirements, and instructs on the creation of a comprehensive fiber optics network manual for future reference. Throughout, the course aims to instill a holistic understanding of the intricacies involved in planning, implementing, and maintaining fiber optic networks, fostering a commitment to safety, quality assurance, and industry standards compliance.
