We have the capability to deliver a range of Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) and Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) equipment training courses, which would be tailored to meet the customer requirements. The equipment includes:

Transmode series 1100 (CWDM)
Marconi PMM

Prerequisites
This will be dependent on the level of course, knowledge of CWDM/DWDM is an advantage for all courses.

Learning Objectives
At the end of this class, participants will be able to:

• Safety considerations when working with lasers and fibre optic systems.
• Fibre cleanliness.
• Principles of CWDM/DWDM utilisation.
• Description of individual card type and function.
• Power and fibre interface connection.
• Installation.
• Operations and Maintenance.
• Local terminal connection and operation.

Who Should Attend

• Project managers and team members that manage and work on CWDM/DWDM equipment projects.
• Technical Managers that manage technicians and engineers that work with CWDM/DWDM equipment
• Engineers and Technicians that work with or maintain CWDM/DWDM equipment.
• Administration or Support staff who work within a Wave Division Multiplexer based environment.

Course Outline

• Why CWDM/DWDM?
• Considerations when working with optical systems.
• The importance of fibre cleanliness in CWDM/DWDM systems.
• A breakdown of the different chassis options
• Individual cards and their function
• Fibre and power connection focusing on possible configurations.
• Recommended rack installation, power and cooling requirements.
• Operations and Maintenance considerations
• Connect to the equipment with local terminal software.

The key learning points from each topic will be applied to classroom activities at the end of the session. This will provide for the re-enforcement of techniques learned during course progresses.

The class contains numerous exercises.

Class Length
One to five days, dependant on the customers exact requirements
