COURSE OVERVIEW: TOur mission is to provide your organization with the knowledge and capability to successfully supervise and inspect the onboard installation of military approved fiber optic components in accordance with MIL-STD 2042B (SH) and NAVSEA standard item #009-73.

The purpose of this seminar is to establish an understanding of the requirements and standards for installation of fiber optic components onboard military platforms in accordance with MIL-STD 2042B (SH). This will insure quality of workmanship being applied to fiber optic systems being installed on naval ships. Additionally, we will discuss current commercial “COTS” standards as they pertain to cable construction and testing criteria. Those in attendance will also have “hands-on” experience using Navy approved optical test equipment. Test equipment to include: Visual Fault Locators (VFLs), Light Source and Power Meters, Optical Time Domain Reflecometers (OTDRs). Lectures will include: Fiber optic theory, fiber optic link topology, light propagation, fiber and cable types, Safety, Blown Optical Fiber (BOF), and testing. A breakdown of the MIL-STD 2042 will instruct your organization on the “do’s and don’ts” during and after installations. Participants will be taught proper testing techniques and methodology. Actual pictures will be shown depicting improper installs on navy ships that demonstrate the need for MIL-STD compliance and the short and long-term effects they will have on the fleet.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Anyone charged with the supervision or inspection of fiber optic installations with military fiber optic products, designers, planners, Supervisors of Ships (SUPSHIP), inspectors and Quality Assurance (QA) personnel.

RECOMMENDED PREREQUISITES: None.

CERTIFICATIONS : At KITCO, we understand the need to provide you with recognized industry certified training. We will provide a KITCO certificate of completion for our 2 Day MIL-STD 2042B (SH) Installation Supervisor / Inspector Course.
