Course Overview
Course overview
This CommScope NETCONNECT course equips you with the installation and termination know-how you need to enhance your company’s quality control, cost effectiveness and profitability, as well as provide you with a competitive edge in bidding, increase the value of your work, and ultimately your customer’s satisfaction.
This course includes an overview of premises cabling systems, a review of the ANSI/TIA and ISO/IEC industry standards, and a discussion and hands-on practices on the rough-in, installation, management, and termination of twisted pair and optical fiber cabling systems. The course is about 65% hands-on. The students will terminate and wire-map test unshielded and a shielded cabling links, as well as terminate and continuity-test various fiber optics connectors and a mechanical splice.
Objectives
Objectives
- Provides exposure to the CommScope NETCONNECT solution product range
- Teaches the recommended installation and termination practices specific to the CommScope NETCONNECT products
- Understand what constitutes both good and bad installation and termination practices
- Learn post termination inspection techniques
- Know how to test both copper and fiber links post installation
Audience
- Installers of NETCONNECT premises cabling systems who prefer to take a class rather than the online SP3801 version of the ACT I course. (May not be available in all regions).
Prerequisites
Prerequisities for this course
- No pre-requisite experience is required although most attendees will have had at least some exposure to Enterprise structured cabling installation.
