- VDV Works Presents Lennie Lightwave's New Guide to Fiber Optics
- Lennie has been involved in fiber optics since he first went to "Fiber U" - Fotec's fiber optic installer conference in 1993. Lennie is now working with "VDV Works," a company that provides training, training materials and web content on fiber optics, structured cabling, computer networking and telecommunications.
- This guide is the outcome of more than 25 years of experience in fiber optics from Lennie and the VDV Works staff.
- It's easy to learn more about fiber optics! All you have to do is keep reading......
- Also see our "virtual hands-on" tutorial on fiber optic termination , "virtual hands-on" tutorial on fiber optic testing, tutorial on OTDRs , and "virtual hands-on" tutorial on using OTDRs.

And now, "Fiber U" is back. The FOA has recreated the famous Fiber U for online training and even some real conference events.

What Do People Say About "Lennie"?
"I am a 30 year veteran of the "Bell System" with many years of experience with design of OSP Systems and also had 15 years as a product Rep. for AT&T/Lucent with responsibility of representing their fiber cable and apparatus products in the Northwest. In all those years I have not seen a better guide that takes the basics of fiber optics and puts it into an easily understandable format ..... that includes the "famous Bell Labs" fiber guru's." DS
