Features: This book references the latest revised standards of ITU-T and IEC on optical fibers and cables, as well as research achievements in optical cable engineering. It is up-to-date, covers a broad scope, presents clear concepts, and has strong systematic and practical qualities. This book can serve as a textbook or reference for professional courses in communication engineering, network engineering, and other disciplines at colleges and universities. It is also suitable for technicians engaged in the construction, management, and maintenance of optical cable engineering and network engineering. From the perspective of optical cable engineering construction and management, the book first introduces the basic concepts of optical communication systems, the standard systems of optical fibers and cables, the composition, types, and applications of optical fibers, cables, optical connectors, and optical amplifiers. Then, in the order of engineering construction and management, it provides detailed explanations of the engineering design, construction, testing, daily maintenance, and fault handling of optical cable lines, as well as the operation and use of common optical cable line instruments such as OTDRs and fiber splicing machines. Finally, it introduces the design methods and key points for optical cable line engineering in broadband networks, including metropolitan area networks (MAN), broadband access networks, cable television networks (HFC), and structured cabling systems.
