Plan and implement fiber optic networks

Effectively design and deploy bandwidth-rich networks for major types of data traffic. Covering both short-reach and long-haul networks, Planning Fiber Optic Networks provides full details on all major fiber optic parameters and includes appropriate background theory and design calculations. You will find guidelines for optimizing SONET/SDH and Ethernet networks, setting up network topologies, minimizing signal loss and impairments, and using dark fiber. Real-world examples are included throughout this practical guide.

• Understand signal propagation in a single-mode fiber
• Plan an optical loss budget
• Maintain an acceptable optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR)
• Learn about the effects of chromatic dispersion (CD) and polarization mode dispersion (PMD)
• Expand fiber capacity using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)
• Reduce fiber nonlinear impairments
• Perform fiber characterization to ensure optimal quality and performance
• Test Ethernet and SONET/SDH networks
• Plan point-to-point and ring fiber topologies
• Lease or purchase dark fiber
