What should be kept in mind of the test equipment is that you should know how to use them and you should always verify them before taking them to the work area. The batteries should be changed or charged, test the reference cables and, most importantly, the user should take a few minutes to refresh his memory on how the instrument is used. The work area is not the place to discover that the equipment is not ready for use.
Training and security
Fiber optic training
The number one rule of fiber optic installation is never to try to install a new type of component or start a new application without proper training. Not having the knowledge or faculties related to that component or that application makes it impossible to ensure the success of the work and the jobs can be very expensive. In FOA we know many examples of facilities that went wrong and had unfortunate consequences.
No one can know everything or take all possible training courses to cover all aspects of fiber optics, all types of components and applications. However, technology is constantly advancing, which makes it important to continue acquiring knowledge from all available sources. Many of the necessary technical knowledge can be obtained from websites such as the FOA online reference guide, but what about the skills needed to work with the components for installation, troubleshooting, and fiber optic restorations? These skills can only be acquired through training and practice.
