They are knowledgeable regarding the wavelengths utilized by fiber systems and in the use of optical fault finding equipment. They are trained in the safety aspects of working with glass and plastic fibers.

 

  

 

* NOTE: To be certified as a Certified Electronics Technician, or CET, a technician must pass both the Associate Exam and the Specialty exam of his choice. In some cases a technician may pass the Specialty exam only, thereby being certified by ETA as not a CET, but (for example) a CST, CSI, CNCT or CNST (which are the four categories allowing this type of specialty certification).
