Is your training a certification course or certificate of completion? »

Is your training a certification course or certificate of completion? If it is certification, who is it through? If it is not, is your training recognized through any of the major associations as a step toward certification? P.S., I have heard your training is excellent. I am just inquiring as to how far it will get me.

Can you tell me the difference or true meanining of a composite cable and a hybrid cable »

Can you tell me the difference or true meanining of a composite cable and a hybrid cable. I've heard both terms used interchangeably. Are thay the same? If so then how would you differenciate between a single-mode/multimode cable vs. fiber cable/copper cable? thanks

We have to test a 9 micron loose tube outdoor fiber and a 50 micron loose tube outdoor fiber on the spool. »

We have to test a 9 micron loose tube outdoor fiber and a 50 micron loose tube outdoor fiber on the spool before installation. We have an FIS mini OTDR. Is there a bare fiber adapter? How would you suggest the testing be done?

I inherited a FIS 24 Port Heat Oven with thermometer and quite a few hot melt 3M connectors, but no instructions. »

I inherited a FIS 24 Port Heat Oven with thermometer and quite a few hot melt 3M connectors, but no instructions. From a 3M download, I noticed the 3M oven unit has a load adapter that one uses to insert and remove the connector from the oven port. Is the FIS oven similar? Could you give me some basic info on how the oven is used?

What should be the minimum length for an OTDR launch cable? »

What should be the minimum length for an OTDR launch cable? Also, how does connecting a launch cable between the OTDR and the fiber being tested overcome the problem caused by connecting the fiber directly to the OTDRs output connector? Doesn't the "dead zone" created where the fiber is connected to the end of the launch cable casue the same problem?

I'm hunting for a remote fiber distance measurement. »

I'm hunting for a remote fiber distance measurement. Some of our fiber runs are hundreds of kilometers from tech support. I was looking for a unit to constantly measure cable distance (ex. 80km) and if it suddenly changes to 45km, we know where the break is, and can directly dispatch the splicer... Any ideas?
