Breakfast seminar on testing fibre-optic
cables
The first in a new series of breakfast seminars looks at the latest procedures and standards for testing fibre-optic cables.
For the first 2002 seminar in the Fibreoptic Industry Association's popular series of breakfast seminars, Mike Gilmore, Technical Director of the FIA and Chairman of BSI TCT7/-/1 and Convenor CLC TC215 WG1, will give a presentation on the latest procedures and standards for testing fibre-optic cables, an area of great importance as bandwidths rise inexorably Testing is becoming increasingly critical within the total installation process

Most importantly, cables must be tested to the appropriate specifications using the correct methods - not as easy as it might appear.
Testing is logical and straightforward, providing the recommended procedures are followed; ignore the rules and all sorts of errors can creep in.
Attend this seminar and learn how to test accurately, quickly - and reliably.
Gigabit Ethernet and other high bandwidth protocols place serious demands on the integrity of the physical infrastructure and the introduction by several manufacturers of LSPM testers, combined light source and power meters, can give very misleading results if deployed incorrectly.
As usual, the seminar will be held at Bisham Abbey, Marlow, Buckinghamshire.
Starting at 0900 (breakfast from 0815) on 20th March 2002, the cost is GBP 45.00 for members and GBP 125.00 for nonmembers.
