The Fiber Optic Communications & Networking Module is Industrial Fiber Optics' newest fiber optic technology module. It's a 10-activity, intermediate-level product developed for teaching at a higher level than other modules, emphasizing fiber optic communications and networking technology. The curriculum addresses the most recent advances in the rapidly changing fiber communications and networking technology fields.

Curriculum subjects include: fundamentals of fiber optic technology; optical fiber manufacture; optical fiber construction: single-and multi-mode; dispersion and attenuation; fiber cable comparisons; generation III & IV fiber connection technology; fusion splicing techniques; fiber couplers and optical power splitters; wavelength division multiplexing; and fiber optic tools, testing and test equipment

The module curriculum guide is a comprehensive manual comprising 10 exciting activities, with technical reading assignments for each. The accompanying Fiber Optic Reference Guides contain 14 chapters with several hundred illustrations in 199 pages. An extensive list of references and a working glossary of fiber optic terms are included.

Each activity features: real-world applications; hands-on working experience and experiments with fiber optics and associated components; problem solving and student worksheets; homework assignments and investigative research; and web fiber optic tours and projects.
