Examines the basic principles behind basic voice and data transmission over fiber optic cable; covers light theory, refraction, reflection, critical angle, cable mode and index evaluations, and installation and termination techniques. Topics covered include fiber construction and fabrication techniques, numerical aperture, multimode and single mode transmission theory, intermodal and intramodal dispersion, fiber attenuation, bending losses, fiber dispersion mechanisms and fiber connector splice and termination hardware, system testing and troubleshooting.
