Course Details
Course Objective
Enable the student to develop the skill set to review, document, plan, setup, splice, test and troubleshoot OSP copper cabling systems. Students will be instructed in the use of industry best practices, codes and standards as they relate to OSP construction. At the course conclusion, the student should be competent in applying their newly learned skills to any site.
The course is based on National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) requirements, ANSI Telecommunication Standards, Underwriters Laboratories (UL), best practices from BICSI OSP Outside Plant Design Reference Manual (OSPDRM) and Information Technology Systems Installation Methods Manual (ITSIMM), as well as other documents as they pertain to specific modules of instruction.
Course Modules
Prerequisites
None, but a basic understanding of electricity and some telecommunication experience a plus.
Customization
The ICTTG-1365 can be taught at your facility and customized to your company’s quality assurance and quality control best practices.
Course Materials
Each student will receive a workbook containing copies of the presentation and lab exercises to reinforce instructional material. Provided at start of class and course completion.
