The FOA has always tried to provide the world with sources of
technically correct, unbiased information on fiber optics using
both print and electronic media. The
FOA Online Reference Guide on the FOA website is probably
the largest and most used reference site on fiber optics on the
Internet. The FOA Online Reference Guide provides a
readily-accessed reference for FOA certifications for those
schools using electronic texts. For those who prefer printed
materials, we offer this book, a basic reference for fiber optics
and a study guide for FOA certifications. Supplementary materials
with even more depth on many subjects, of course, will be on the
FOA website.
The organization of this book is very different from The
Fiber Optic Technicians Manual, our previous reference book.
It is much better organized for teaching fiber optics and for
self-study by those wanting to learn the practical applications
and installation practices. See the Table of Contents below.
The new FOA book uses state-of-the-art "publish on demand"
technology where the book is printed when you order it using the
latest printing technology. This new technology is less expensive
than conventional publishing plus the cost of inventory is no
longer an issue for books. We can update the book easily to keep
up with new technology, applications, and FOA programs. And using
a web ordering and delivery system saves even more costs
associated with the overhead and distribution of a conventional
publisher. The FOA, a real non-profit organization working for the
good of the industry, is passing these savings directly on to you!
Companion Curriculum
The FOA Reference Guide To Fiber Optics has a companion curriculum
available from the FOA for trainers who want an instructor's
guide, PowerPoint Slides, Student Lab manuals, etc.
