Fiber optic training in the Washington DC area

Fiber optic training from FiberGuide is available as open enrollment classes in Washington, D.C., McLean, VA or Arlington, VA. Both McLean and Arlington are less than 15 miles from Washington, D.C. For more details about our fiber optic training programs, point your browser to our dedicated optical network training website.

Fiber optic training can mean too many different things to different people. An internet search for fiber optic training will show a wide range of programs including fiber optic splicing, fiber optic installation, fiber optic testing or other technician training programs. Fiber optic training from FiberGuide includes optical network training and fiber optic characterization or testing. Our optical network training programs cover not only optical fiber but also all the components, modules and processes required to transmit information through an optical network. The fiber optic characterization program covers testing for all key optical attributes, including loss, spectral attenuation, chromatic dispersion and Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD).

Developed  by Optical Technology Training (OTT) and delivered by global partners, including FiberGuide, the optical network training programs include a foundation CONA (Certified Optical Network Associate) and an advanced CONE (Certified Optical Network Engineer) courses. 

The  CONA course introduces fundamentals of fiber optics and transmission systems that are based on direct detection. Single channel networks and multiple channel networks based on Short Wave Division Multiplexing (SWDM), Course Wave Division Multiplexing (CWDM), LAN Wave Division Multiplexing (LWDM) and Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) are all covered in this course. Applications such as core networks, metro networks, 5G transport and data center interconnects are also the focus of this specific fiber optic training program. In addition, passive components such as connectors and dispersion compensators and active modules such as transceivers and optical amplifiers are studied. Delegates also learn what is required to mitigate fiber impairments such as polarization mode dispersion, chromatic dispersion and nonlinear effects for optimum network performance. Visit the Certified Optical Network Associate website page for more on the foundation course.

For practicing and aspiring optical network engineers wishing to gain more advanced skills, the next logical fiber optic training program after CONA is Certified Optical Network Engineer (CONE). CONE goes far beyond the CONA course and prepares the delegate to be able to work on more advanced optical networks capable of high data rates of 100Gb/s, 400Gb/s, 800Gb/s, 1.6Tb/s and beyond. In the CONE program, delegates learn what is required to migrate from direct detection systems to coherent based systems. They learn how the combination of coherent detection and digital signal processing has resulted in a paradigm shift in optical communications. The CONE course puts a focus on the critical  synergies between optical and electronic technologies that help to achieve the ultra-fast data rates. In addition, CONE attendees are introduced to Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and its massive  impact on open systems, such as open line systems, open Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexers (ROADMs), and white box solutions.
