available. Contact the FOA. Available in Spanish Online (first edition) The success of a
fiber optic project depends on having a proper design and effective
project management. The purpose of this book is to provide a reference
guide to those involved with the design and management of fiber optic
network projects from concept to operation and provide a textbook for
those teaching the personnel who will do this work. This book is the
reference for FOA CFOS/D Fiber Optic Network Design And Project
Management Specialist certification. This FOA textbook is a reference on fiber optic design and project management for the network owner, contractor, installer, designer, project manager, facilities manager and user. It is also the textbook for training or studying for FOA CFOS/D and other certifications
A fiber optic network is a communications system that operates over fiber optics, but is likely to also include copper cabling and wireless. It may include outside plant or premises cable plant. With a subject so broad, it’s impossible to cover every aspect of the topic in depth. What will be covered in this book is primarily the basics of design of both premises and outside plant fiber optic cabling to support practically all types of communications systems. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with basic fiber optic technology used for premises and outside plant networks at the level of a CFOT. If not, you should begin by studying general fiber optics using the basic self-study course at Fiber U (www.fiberu.org). About The FOA The Fiber Optic Association Inc., FOA, the nonprofit professional society of fiber optics, has become one of the principal sources of technical information, training curriculum and certifications for the fiber optic world. Since 1995, the FOA has provided the world with sources of technically correct,
unbiased information on fiber optics using both print and
electronic media. The FOA Online
Reference Guide on the FOA website is the largest
and most used reference site on fiber optics on the Internet and many techs use the basic
self-study courses at Fiber U (www.fiberu.org) to broaden their knowledge. For those who prefer printed materials, we
offer over a dozen books, references for fiber optics and study
guides for FOA certifications. Supplementary materials with even
more depth on many subjects, of course, will be on the FOA
website. The new FOA book uses
state-of-the-art "publish on demand" technology where the book
is printed when you order it using the latest printing
technology. This new technology is less expensive than
conventional publishing plus the cost of inventory is no longer
an issue. We can also update the book easily to keep up with new
technology, applications, and FOA programs. And using a web
ordering and delivery system saves even more costs associated
with the overhead and distribution of a conventional publisher.
The FOA, a real non-profit organization working for the good of
the industry, is passing these savings directly on to you! About
