The careful design of fiber systems is critical to reliable, long term operation. Fiber Optic System Design shows how to design a fiber transmission system that will suit your requirements now and for years to come. The video/CD-ROM focuses on the issues in designing local, metropolitan and wide area networks. Areas covered include the physical layout and calculating loss budgets for multimode and singlemode networks.

Topics:

• Local Area Networks (LANs):
• Topologies
• Fiber selection
• Connector selection
• System issues
• Routing issues
• System loss budgets
• Fiber To The Desk (FTTD)
• Hubs, patch panels and media outlets
• Wide Area Networks (WANs) and Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs):
• Topologies
• Fiber Selection
• Connector and Splice Issues
• Closures and distribution panels
• Manholes, handholes, and vaults
• Route redundancy issues
• System loss budgets
• Restoration planning through design
• Fiber To The Curb (FTTC)
