dB Broadcast: Expert In Fibre Installations

Six engineers and wiring technicians have recently qualified under City & Guilds 3666 to install, joint, terminate and test fibre optic cabling for one of the UK’s largest and most successful independent systems integrators.
dB Broadcast, specialising in integration, has been at the forefront of the industry-wide move from traditional copper wire systems to fibre-optic systems.
City & Guilds 3666 has been developed in conjunction with the UK fibre optics industry and is approved by the Fibreoptic Industry Association (FIA).
Trainees are shown why fibre optic cabling is used, recommended installation practices and troubleshooting techniques.
Following the training, dB Broadcast has undertaken fibre optic installations for two major broadcasters in London and at a number of transmitter sites in the UK.
Sales and Marketing Director, Tom Swan said: "dB Broadcast is unique amongst systems integrators in having its own large wiring team and it is a logical step to have in-house expertise and equipment to carry out and test fibre installations.
"This course has given us the expertise to undertake fibre optical installations within an indoor environment as well as the design, testing and commissioning."
