What is a fiber optic technician?

Fiber optic technicians are professionals who install, maintain, and repair fiber optic cables and systems used for high-speed data transmission. They work with specialized equipment to splice, test, and troubleshoot fiber optic networks for telecommunications, internet, and other data services.
