9 BENEFITS In nine ways, this manual simplifies and accelerates your fiber optic network design process. First, it leads the designer through an organized and logical, 14-step process. The author developed this process from training more than three thousand professionals during the last 22 years. Second, it provides an extensive list of specifications that the designer needs to consider for each component. Third, it provides typical values for these specifications. Fourth, it identifies the situations in which such specifications are appropriate. Fifth, it provides a package of forms that the designer can use in his design activities. These forms accelerate the design process by including information that would take months to develop. Sixth, it includes subjects, like range testing and certification strategies, that are not found elsewhere. Seventh, from conversations with more than ten thousand designers, end users, installers, fiber optic professionals and clients, it includes the lessons learned, both by successful design activities and oversights. Eighth, it includes many practical considerations. Ninth, it provides review questions for most chapters, so that the designer can test his understanding of the material presented. This manual helps the designer avoid overlooking important considerations, determine a combination of components that achieves low total installed cost, design to meet future bandwidth requirements, and design a network based on existing standards.

This manual contains the PowerPoint slides for a specific presentation of Mastering Fiber Optic Network Design (ISBN 9781469931296). This presentation focuses on developing an understanding of the design process. This presentation is for those managers, supervisors and engineers who operate and maintain the network, but are not required to perform a complete network design.This presentation includes 13 of the 14 steps of the design process. One step, costing of the network, is included briefly. This presentation includes materials related to cell phone tower networks.This manual helps the designer avoid overlooking important considerations, determine a combination of components that achieves low total installed cost, design to meet future bandwidth requirements, and design a network based on existing standards.

This book takes a pragmatic approach to deploying state-of-the-art optical networking equipment in metro-core and backbone networks. The book is oriented towards practical implementation of optical network design. Algorithms and methodologies related to routing, regeneration, wavelength assignment, sub rate-traffic grooming and protection are presented, with an emphasis on optical-bypass-enabled (or all-optical) networks. The author has emphasized the economics of optical networking, with a full chapter of economic studies that offer guidelines as to when and how optical-bypass technology should be deployed. This new edition contains: new chapter on dynamic optical networking and a new chapter on flexible/elastic optical networks. Expanded coverage of new physical-layer technology (e.g., coherent detection) and its impact on network design and enhanced coverage of ROADM architectures and properties, including colorless, directionless, contentionless and gridless. Covers ‘hot’ topics, such as Software Defined Networking and energy efficiency, algorithmic advancements and techniques, especially in the area of impairment-aware routing and wavelength assignment. Provides more illustrative examples of concepts are provided, using three reference networks (the topology files for the networks are provided on a web site, for further studies by the reader). Also exercises have been added at the end of the chapters to enhance the book’s utility as a course textbook.

AUTHOR'S PREFACE Installing fiber optic connectors is not difficult: when my two sons were 10 and 13, I trained them to install connectors. They achieved the three goals of installation: low power loss, low installation cost, and high reliability. They did so, even though they had their CD players plugged into their ears! (Now I've dated myself!) This text guides you to achieve these three goals. This is no idle boast: in training installers, I have observed the results and refined these procedures to include only those instructions that work for almost all trainees. The procedures in this manual reflect refinement from 21 years of training, more than 500 presentations, and more than 7900 trainees. With very few exceptions, all trainees have achieved these three goals! So will you. This text guides you through successively increased understanding and knowledge, from basic to subtle. Chapter 1 provides the basic understanding of connectors in the network. Chapter 2 provides a detailed understanding of the language of fiber connectors: their functions, structure, performance, types, similarities, advantages, and installation methods. With this understanding, you can understand Chapter 3. Chapter 3 presents the principles of installation for four commonly used methods. This understanding of the principles underlying the procedures has three benefits. First, you know the consequences of failure to follow the instructions. Second, you are more likely to follow the instructions than you would be without this understanding. Third, you perform troubleshooting with an extensive understanding of the potential causes of high loss and low reliability. Chapter 4 presents instructions for inspecting connectors that require polishing. These instructions show you how to inspect, rate, and diagnose causes of high loss. With this chapter, you can easily identify causes of high loss and appropriate corrective actions. Chapters 5-8 present detailed instructions for four commonly used methods. Each set of instructions guides you to achieve the three goals. These instructions include 'do not do's' and cautions. These 'do not do's' and cautions help you avoid the commonly-made errors I've observed during training of more than 7000 installers. With minor modifications, these chapters can be used to install or train with any connector available. In addition, each chapter contains two useful sections: a troubleshooting section and a one-page summary. The troubleshooting section helps you recognize the symptom of an error and identify the step(s) at which the error occurred. This section speeds up achieving the three goals. During field installations, you can use a copy of the one page summary as a guide and reminder. Chapter 5 presents installation and polishing of multimode connectors. In addition, it contains polishing instructions for singlemode epoxy and quick cure adhesive connectors to achieve -50 dB reflectance. Chapter 6 presents installation and polishing of multimode connectors with quick cure adhesive. Chapter 7 presents installation and polishing of multimode connectors with hot melt adhesive. Chapter 8 presents installation of both multimode and singlemode connectors with the no-polish, no adhesive method, also known as the 'cleave and crimp' method. This manual contains review questions for Chapters 2-8 to assist you and the trainer in assessing and reinforcing understanding. When used prior to hands on training, these questions can lead to excellent results, both in training and in field installation. This manual is one of a series on Mastering Fiber Optics.
