An ITU-T handbook “Optical fibres, cables and systems” offers a functional grouping of Study Group 15 Recommendations on optical technology e.g. optical fibres and cables, physical optical interfaces, optical fibre terrestrial and submarine cable systems. Objectives The programme of the “ITU-T Tutorial on Optical Fibre Cables and Systems” will be based on the handbook and provide an in-depth insight into the ITU-T Recommendations that have shaped the optical transport networks of the world. Some aspects on wireless communication will also be addressed in cooperation with the Development Sector of the ITU (ITU-D)

Participants will gain a better understanding of the ITU-T Recommendations, how to design and implement projects choosing the most appropriate equipment according to the state-of-the art. Participants will learn how to evaluate a power budget and the fundamental parameters to take into account for the preparation of technical and administrative specifications for a supply contract.

The Tutorial is intended to assist engineers, technicians, technologists, mid-level management and regulators in the implementation of optical-fibre-based systems.

The tutors are leading experts in the field from industry and either participated in the writing of the handbook or contributed to the development of the referenced standards.
