Learn the basics of fiber optics and fiber data transmission to understand faster internet connections and the growing demand for fiber optic professionals.
This course is your friendly guide to fiber optics, explaining why it's super important for fast internet. With the shift from copper to fiber, there's a big need for professionals in this field. Get ready to learn the basics and step into a growing job market!
Welcome! This course is designed to give you a good understand of fiber optics and fiber data transmission.
For years there has been a need for that faster internet connection. People rely on the internet for almost everything, information/research, streaming movies from popular services like netflix or hulu, online gaming, even with mobile phones there is a need for that faster connection. Fiber Optics is the answer! Our old copper based cabling simply wont support the speeds and data capacity needed this day in age. Big companies such as AT&T/Verizon & even the U.S. Government have invested in updating our old copper cabling to Fiber Optic Cabling. So why is it not everywhere? After investing billions in upgrading our old copper cabling to fiber cabling the communications industry realized the man power simply isn't there to install it fast enough. What does this mean? It means there are a lot of jobs out there in this field, the need for fiber optic professionals is high. I am here to teach you the basics of fiber optics. A lot of this course is based off of the curriculum I teach at the University of Riverside that gives students a CFOT(Certified Fiber Optic Technician) Certificate from the FOA(Fiber Optics Association).
This course is intended for anyone who wants to learn the basics of fiber optics, maybe you are curious about the buzz around fiber optics, or maybe you are a systems administrator and IT manager that wants to gain knowledge of fiber optics. Whatever the case, this course is for you!
By the end of this course you should have a good understanding of fiber optic cabling.

I have been involved in fiber optic engineering for 8 years and have been teaching fiber optics communications for the past 3 years. I have taught at the University of Riverside, The National Communications Training Center, and have trained Military Personnel. I am a Computer Science Major and have focused a most of my work in the field of Fiber...
Somewhat very basic course
I like the course. its beginner level and to the point.
Basic overview on what fiber optic is and how it works, good teacher, easy to understand, useful slides.
before starting this lesson...I have no IT experience and don't know anything about cords or strands...so learning what Optic fiber is and the layers is pretty interesting.
good topic.
I learned about the physical makeup of the fiber optic cable. I did not know the construction of the cables was so complex.
Good & very relevant.
It is really good as an introduction, if you don't know anything about fiber optic cabling. But I assume if you already know about this topic, you may need something more advanced. I liked it.
I never score 5 star. Nothing is perfect
