Customer Reviews

Great starter book!

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

The Fiber Optic Technicians Manual

Hi, I'm Jim Hayes, editor/author of The Fiber Optic Technicians Manual, with the third edition just released. I'd like to clear up the confusion created by Mr. Cooke. Delmar Learning, the publisher of the book, also offers two companion books, an Instructor's Guide that provides guidance to instructors using the book in their classes and a laboratory manual for guiding students through hands-on activities that develop skills in fiber optic installation. The Instructor's Guide has suggestions on how to structure classes using the book as well as answers to all the chapter exercises. The Lab Manual has step-by-step instructions on setting up and teaching labs in fiber optics. The instructor teaching a class with this book should have both manuals in addtion to the textbook to teach a class. A reader interested in developing skills in fiber optic installation only needs the Lab Manual. We also offer complete instructor teaching packages based on the books and self-study programs through VDV Academy ([...]) If you want to learn about fiber optics and how to design and install networks using fiber optics (or teach it), this is a booked aimed directly at you.
