Students build, test and troubleshoot complete systems in this class. Also covered is the use of equipment, hardware and procedures pertaining to building distribution and campus applications.

As a perfect complement to the Fiber Optics Installer Workshop, ETA International is proud to have its board chairman, Bill Woodward, co‐author of “Cabling: The Complete Guide to Copper and Fiber‐Optic Networking,” 4th Edition, signing his book at this year’s forum. He will help kick off the networking reception at the Inn at DePauw Thursday evening, October 18 beginning at 7:30.

This book is a widely acclaimed resource for students and cabling technicians. The newest edition of this definitive book is a complete, hands-on guide to both copper and fiber-optic networking, and it is packed with expert advice, best practices, and pages of the latest industry specifications and standards. Follow the golden rules of cabling, explore all the different types of cables, see why cutting corners is a bad idea, discover the obstacles to high-speed data transfer, and more, while developing the skills to design and build a reliable, cost-effective cabling infrastructure.

Bill is the current ETA International board chairman and has served in many different roles on behalf of the Association. He chairs or co‐chairs three committees within SAE International’s Aerospace Avionic Systems Division and is a best‐selling author. His long career spans a decade of service in the U.S. Navy as a Submarine Fire Control Technician and nearly two decades experience providing electrical and electronic engineering systems, test equipment, and fiber optics expertise to the private sector. As Principal Engineer at URSANAV, he conceptualizes, designs, and develops technology for shipboard systems, land-based radar systems, and commercial applications.
