The ABCs of Fiber Optic Communication cover

This practical handbook provides the conceptual framework and troubleshooting tactics related to the manufacturing, selection, and installation of modern photonic networks. It outlines the latest technological advancements and industry applications and covers the entire fiber ecosystem, including optical fiber plants, optical transceivers, test and measurement equipment, and network architecture of SDH, OTN, IP/MPLS, FTTx networks and PON. Warier presents the use of tools like LPM (laser source and power meter) and the optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) to overcome issues related to optical patching and fiber plants. Readers will gain an understanding of the architecture of core TDM, IP, and Optical Access Networks and specific methodologies for assessing OTN, DWDM, IT/MPLS, PON/GPON or FTTx networks.
