This webcast describes how a technician in an enterprise can solve fiber network problems to avoid and reduce network downtime. With a review of common fiber problems and the powerful diagnostics of Optical Time Domain Reflectometers (OTDRs), enterprises will learn how to support their own fiber networks in this seminar. A brief review of the Fluke Networks OptiFiber Professional OTDR and best practices for fiber installation and maintenance are included.
