FBR Solutions

Modules

Company field curriculum for OSP techs on Spectrum high-split / DAA-RPHY plant. Start with what the project is and what FBR does, then safety and access, prints, hardline craft, actives, testing, and fiber literacy. Written quizzes support readiness; live-plant authorization stays with supervision and SOPs. New hires: start with What Is High-Split, then Basic Safety, then How to Read a Print.

Training standard: This course builds shared craft language and safe habits for FBR hardline and high-split work. It does not replace manufacturer instructions, host-employer procedures, or local law. Module quizzes pass at 80% unless a module states otherwise.

1
Fiber & Node Literacy for HFC Techs
Fiber Fundamentals for HFC Technicians
Optical plant concepts for coax-focused techs: why fiber feeds the node, single-mode vs multimode in CATV, 1310/1550 nm wavelengths, dBm optical vs dBmV RF, attenuation and bend radius, SC/APC vs UPC connectors, cleanliness discipline, and laser safety.

2
Fiber & Node Literacy for HFC Techs
Optical Node Architecture & RF Boundary
Node as optical/electrical conversion point: downstream receiver, upstream return laser, RF test points at node, hardline vs fiber technician scope, service group sizing impact on high-split noise, and when coax faults mimic node problems.

3
Fiber & Node Literacy for HFC Techs
Fiber Testing & Inspection for Coax Techs
Introductory fiber test discipline for hardline technicians: connector inspection microscope, cleaning procedure, optical power meter and light source use, OTDR trace awareness at field level, escalation criteria for fiber crew, and brief MPO context for DAA deployments.

4
Fiber & Node Literacy for HFC Techs
Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) Overview
Brief solid introduction to Distributed Access Architecture and Remote PHY: why DAA pairs with high-split, how fiber moves deeper in the plant, what changes for OSP hardline techs, Ethernet to RPD, and coexistence with classic node-plus-coax cascades.
