Our Verdict
Despite minor issues such as a slow talking pace and occasional incorrect information regarding copper cable distances, the "Introduction To Fiber Optic Cabling" course serves as an informative and methodical introduction to fiber optics for beginners. It is commendable for explaining benefits of fiber cable types, but technical aspects, such as in-depth cable construction details or color codes, remain unexplored. Additionally, captions have some errors, which should be addressed. This course would particularly benefit from expanding on multi-mode applications and discussing advanced wavelength uses when working with fiber optics. If the creator can rectify these shortcomings, it could offer an even better learning experience for aspiring fiber cabling professionals.
What We Liked
- Covers fiber optics basics thoroughly, making it an excellent starting point for beginners.
- Instructor's pace is methodical and clear, helping learners grasp the concepts at their own speed.
- Explains various wavelength uses without overwhelming the learner.
- Detailed information on benefits of fiber, differences between MMF & SMF types, and testing methods.
Potential Drawbacks
- Presenter unintentionally provides some misinformation regarding copper cable distances; lacks in-depth technical explanations for cable construction.
- Slow talking pace may require speed adjustments for some users.
- Captions have errors, potentially affecting deaf or hard-of-hearing learners' understanding.
