This course is primarily aimed at installers and field engineers - those involved in hands-on termination. Quality control, project managers and anyone who works directly or indirectly with transmission line assemblies.
No pre-requisite course or experience is required but we recommend that students consider taking the online SP6160 PIM/VSWR certification course in addition to this course.
Starting with basic transmission principals, which helps the student to understand why cables have to be looked after during installation, the course goes on to provide exercises in terminating connectors onto various cables. All current connector terminations are explained, with accompanying videos to ensure that all steps are covered. We also look at cable handling and securing, together with grounding and weatherproofing.
You will study this course online in a self-paced format. The course is made up of a number of webcast lessons and a series of detailed videos that the student will study. Online multiple choice assessments giving immediate feedback will confirm your understanding of the key practices.
Technical documents (downloadable) are also available in this course to support all the products and practices covered.
