Fiber Optic Technicians are skilled professionals who install, maintain, and repair fiber optic cables. These cables are essential for high-speed internet and telecommunications, as they transmit data using light signals. Technicians work in various settings, including homes, businesses, and telecommunications companies, ensuring that connections are efficient and reliable. To perform their duties, fiber optic technicians use specialized tools and equipment, such as fusion splicers and OTDRs (Optical Time Domain Reflectometers). They must have a strong understanding of electronics and networking principles, as well as the ability to troubleshoot issues that may arise in fiber optic systems.
