Hi,

I have paid to go on a City & Guilds course next month. The course is the 3666-02 Internal Fibre Optic Installation & Testing. Eventually I am wanting to set up my own business in Fibre Optics - CCTV, LAN Networking, Security, Sensoring etc.

Is there anyone out there that has experience of Fibre Optics? Electrician etc that have been asked about Fibre Optics by customers?

I really need to know if there is a market for this type of comms.

Cheers,

Dan

of course there is a market for this stuff, but its not new technology , most networks have been using fibre for years.

Installation can be done by anyone, but what needs more specialist training is the termination and testing.

Most Telecomms companies and Structured Cabling Installers would employ Fibre terminators - either on contract or a permanant basis.

Good luck with it.

We have external cablers in all the time (the joy of ever expanding networks!!!) and boy do they earn some dosh. I'm half tempted myself - spent a few nights with them during last year, fantastic stuff.
