The Light Brigade® Offers New Fiber Optic Pro A/V and Broadcast Course
04/06/2013
Spartanburg, SC and Tukwila, WA – Announcing the release of its Fiber Optics for Pro A/V training course, The Light Brigade, AFL’s training division, is introducing a new industry-specific fiber training course to address the use of fiber optics in the pro A/V and broadcast industries. The course is focused on those who design, install, maintain and troubleshoot fiber optic systems and spans.
The growth in video bandwidth demand is driving the need for expansion into fiber optics technology. This requires a thorough understanding of the types of fiber optic systems, bandwidth requirements, optical interfaces and various types of transmission products, optical cables and connectors. This three-day course is comprised of 12 hours of classroom instruction followed by 12 hours of hands-on fiber optic training including system testing and troubleshooting. In addition, the course covers fiber handling, cable preparation and terminations, plus inspection, cleaning, testing and troubleshooting.
“Educating the audio visual and broadcast professional in both the knowledge and hands-on skills related to fiber optics was a core target in the design and development of the course,” stated Jim Clodfelter, marketing manager for The Light Brigade. “After collaborating with InfoComm International, we developed a class designed specific to the industry inclusive of InfoComm Recertification Units.”
Regularly scheduled classes start in July and will be offered in the following cities: Orlando, Dallas, Las Vegas, Atlanta, Chicago, San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles.
Custom classes are also available. For complete class schedules and description, visit www.lightbrigade.com. For additional information, contact The Light Brigade team at sales@lightbrigade.com or call 800-451-7128 or 206-575-0404.
