Fiber optic technology converts data into light pulses and transfers them through cables made of glass fibers. This results in faster speeds, better reliability, and greater bandwidth than other connectivity options. Fiber optic installation and design is an exciting field with a number of career opportunities. The following guide explores a few.
A fiber optic installation professional has the important job of building networks. This aspect of the industry often has the most career opportunities. An installer must be skilled in several technical processes, including cabling, splicing, terminating, and testing. You need a good working knowledge of how systems function and comfort using specialized equipment like optical loss test sets, optical time domain reflectometers, and fusion splicers. This work is manual in nature and is mainly done outdoors.
Fiber optic system and component designers typically have a minimum of an undergraduate degree, usually in mechanical engineering, physics, or a related discipline. You must have a comprehensive understanding of digital communication systems and their components, like fibers, cables, connectors, hardware, and testing tools. The job consists of creating detailed network designs for middle mile and last mile fiber networks based on the client's needs and current standards within the industry.
Those who work in the manufacturing sector of the fiber optic industry are tasked with bringing the creations of the designers to life. They often operate complex—and costly—equipment to generate precision components, and they utilize state-of-the-art tools to perform quality assurance tests on those components. A combination of technical education and manual skills is usually required for fiber optic manufacturing roles.
As technology evolves in ever more revolutionary ways, you can expect opportunities to only grow in the fiber optic industry. To explore your career options, contact Kemp Communications LLC.

We at Forest Park Estates (24 units) were very happy with the team installing the wiring for our TDS system. The team worked with efficiency and professionalism. The work took place in attics with very limited headroom and the outside temperature was 90 degrees. Prior to the install we were kept informed as to the scheduling and briefed on what the procedure would entail by Justin Conner. WE were SUPER SATISFIED.
