The Tempo Communications Fiber Trainer provides a compact platform used to train fiber optic technicians. The Fiber Trainer has loss events that simulate a faulty connector, a Macrobend and a damaged fiber optic cable. The 1km fiber link provides the student technician a typical fiber link that has a fault midway. This allows the technician setup the OTDR, test and evaluate the 1km link. The two fiber spools provide sufficient fiber for fusion splicing exercises. The connectors on the ends of the fiber spools allow for convenient connections for loss testing so that the student technician can measure and validate fusion splice loss.
