The term “fiber optic certification” can carry various interpretations, depending on individual perspectives. A search for the phrase on the internet reveals a diverse array of programs, spanning activities such as fiber optic splicing, installation, testing, and other technician certification courses. At FiberGuide, our fiber optic certification programs go far beyond these conventional training programs..
Our comprehensive fiber optic certification encompasses optical network certification and certified fiber characterization for test engineers. Going beyond the focus on optical fiber alone, our optical network certification programs go into the intricacies of all components, modules, and processes essential for effectively transmitting data through optical networks. The certified fiber characterization engineer program specifically addresses the testing of key fiber impairments such as attenuation, spectral attenuation, chromatic dispersion, and Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD).
Developed by Optical Technology Training (OTT) and delivered by international partners, which include FiberGuide, our optical network certification programs comprise both foundational and advanced courses. The foundational course, known as CONA (Certified Optical Network Associate), serves as a solid introduction, while the advanced course, CONE (Certified Optical Network Engineer), takes participants to a higher level of expertise.
The CONA course provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of fiber optics and transmission systems based on direct detection technology. Encompassing both single channel and multiple channel networks, the curriculum tackles technologies such as Short Wave Division Multiplexing (SWDM), Course Wave Division Multiplexing (CWDM), LAN Wave Division Multiplexing (LWDM), and Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM). This fiber optic certification course places a strong emphasis on applications such as core networks, metro networks, 5G transport, and data center interconnects.
Participants in this fiber optic certification program gain insights into a wide spectrum of optical fibers, optical cable and components and modules required to put together an optical network. The study includes passive elements like connectors and dispersion compensating modules, as well as active modules such as transceivers, transponders, muxponders and optical amplifiers. Additionally, delegates acquire knowledge on effectively mitigating fiber impairments, including polarization mode dispersion, chromatic dispersion, and nonlinear effects, ensuring optimal network performance. For more details on the foundation course, explore the Certified Optical Network Associate website page.
For optical network engineers seeking more advanced skills, the natural progression beyond CONA is the Certified Optical Network Engineer (CONE) program. CONE transcends the foundational CONA course, equipping delegates with the expertise to plan, design and operate sophisticated optical networks with high data rates of 100Gb/s, 400Gb/s, 800Gb/s, 1.6Tb/s, and beyond.
Within the CONE program, participants go into the intricacies of transitioning from direct detection systems to coherent-based systems. The curriculum explores how the integration of coherent detection and digital signal processing has triggered a paradigm shift in optical communications. Emphasizing critical synergies between optical and electronic technologies, the CONE course focuses on achieving ultra-fast data rates.
Furthermore, CONE attendees gain insights into the transformative impact of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) on open systems, including open line systems, open Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexers (ROADMs), and white box solutions.
