Description

Fibre-optic cables are made up of thin strands of glass or plastic which help to transmit data at the speed of light between two places exclusively on light-based technology. With the help of fibre optic cables, data can be transmitted digitally. Nowadays, telephone companies have started using fibre optic cables for telephone lines. Almost all the communications will utilize fibre optics in the near future.
This course is designed to guide students about the upcoming features of fibre optics communication. This course, gives a basic concept involved in fibre optic transmission and how they work in real.
After completion of this course, students will know in detail about connecting fibre, optical testing, design parameters involved in fibre optic communication and also about OTDR.

Instructor

Brian Hobby

BE (Electrical and Electronic) Auckland University

Brian has 20 plus years of engineering experience. He thinks in systems and the connections between them as a result of his time as a Naval Weapons Electrical Engineering Officer.

As a design, commissioning and project engineer with Rio Tinto Alcan he oversaw the first application of devicenet in an aluminium smelting environment and assisted with piloting fully automated anode changing.

More recently he has been involved with collecting data from process using the OSISoft historian and using their toolset for analysis.  His experience with networking goes back to becoming the accidental sysadmin for a Novell Netware system in the early 1990’s and has been a part of his roles ever since.

He is now ISA99 qualified and currently works for Griffith University as a Technical Lead (IT and Engineering) where he is assisting in collecting and analysing data in support of their sustainability initiatives.
