- Fiber
Optic And Structured Cabling Training Programs From The People Who
Wrote The Books
The VDV Academy training programs are developed by Jim and Karen Hayes,
founders of Fotec, the fiber optic test equipment company they sold to
Fluke Networks in 2001, and the "Fiber U," "Wire U" and "Cable U"
training programs, including the famous "Fiber U" conferences. The
Cable U website was the place many techs got their start in cabling.
- Jim
is author of The Fiber
Optic Technicians Manual and Data, Voice
and Video Cabling and monthly columns in several
magazines. Karen is the originator of "Lennie Lightwave's
Guide To Fiber Optics" and "Uncle Ted's Guide
to VDV Cabling," the highly-praised free online guides to
cabling. Together they have trained over 10,000 cabling professionals
and hundreds of instructors, written a half-dozen textbooks and
hundreds of industry white papers, magazine articles and web pages.
