Fiber Optics Technician's Manual, 2nd Edition,   ISBN:9780766818255

Customer Rating: 

I Ordered the manual Fiber Optics Technician's Manualhoping that it would have new ideas and latest technology included and was dissapointed in both departments. It covered fiber optics thoroughly up to the 1970/80's and for anyone that has been active in the field of fiber optics this is actually a waste of money.
I passed it on to my employees hoping that at least they would find some benefit but short of just getting some more detailed information I seriously doubt whether they could benefit from this in the practical enviroment.
To conclude this is a product for someone that is starting out on fiber optics and should be advertised as such.

Customer Rating: 

This book is designed predominnantly for folks who will be working with Multimode fiber and predominantly inside plant. It lacks significantly when it comes to outside plant work and single mode fiber. This book was written by Mr. Hayes with the focus on his FOA CFOT structure training and that is again predominantly focused on mulitmode cable and field terminations, rather than single mode.

If your new to the business, or just want a refresher, who better than Jim Hayes to provide the material....he's the "Old Man" of the Fiber Optics field. This is a well-written manual that covers just about everything you need to know about fiber optics...history, nomenclature, splicing and terminating..it's all here. jtm

I bought this book mostly for the basic information as a review. The book has been very helpful when any questions surrounding color codes and signal strength are involved.
