A Day in the Life
Fiber Optics Technicians work for telecommunications companies that supply phone, internet, and cable services. During a typical day on the job, you can expect to:
- Install new systems and wiring at a home or place of business
- Make repairs to old systems and wiring
- Inspect existing fiber optics systems for problems that could interrupt service
- Test old wires and repair those that malfunction
- Pull out old cable or splice them to troubleshoot problem areas
You can expect some physical demands from the job such as standing for long periods of time, climbing ladders and utility poles, or crawling into tight spaces. You may need to lift and carry heavy equipment, parts, and tools. You’ll also work with tools like fiber splicers and optics meters that will help you solve and repair issues with the system.
