Fiber
Optic Network Design
And Management
Lesson Plan No. 2:
Planning The Network

Objectives:
From this self-study lesson you should learn:
- Determining
the routing of the cable plant
- How
the proposed routing of the cable plant affects
equipment and component choice and installation
- Choosing
proper communications equipment
Before one can design a cable plant, two issues need to be
decided. What communications are necessary and what route
the link will cover. These two issues are related, as the
length and geography of the link will determine what types
of fiber optic interfaces are required for the
communications equipment and the the communications
equipment has to meet the users communications needs.
