Installing a distribution box, locating a defect on a fiber, performing a reflectometry measurement... Essential steps that an optical fiber technician must know how to master.

Faced with the urgent need to train these professionals, the association of the École des Plombiers du Numérique and the Infranum federation, with the support of Opcalia and several manufacturers in the sector (Telenco, Sogetrel, Spie), have launched the manual platform.lesplombiersdunumerique.org. These 25 online tutorials present the different specialties of this profession in order to accelerate the mastery of these gestures.

In the form of a thematic sheet, each tutorial is based on a didactic video, photos and detailed explanations. 10 to 15 minutes are enough to integrate the learning. They will serve as a basis for teaching the fibre profession in the 9 Plumbers of Digital Plumbing schools, but they can be used by everyone, in particular to support the development of manufacturers in the digital infrastructure sector and the associated training needs.

This knowledge base is intended to be enriched by all the actors of the sector in order to professionalize it. The platform that hosts them is open to all for free.

Published by Objectif Fibre and its partners, this mapping of the optical fibre business has required more than a year of collaborative work. Developed as part of the Employment and Skills Development Commitment (EDEC), this tool aims to facilitate description, training and recruitment in this sector.


Expected by employment, training, companies and local authorities, this reference framework is divided into 26 job descriptions defining the corresponding profiles. These sheets thus complete the description of the job titles, the activity, the prerequisites, the missions or the development prospects.


This publication confirms the dynamism of the players in the fast-growing optical fibre market and the collective intelligence at the service of the France Very High Speed Plan. The deployment of the HSBB is a major challenge since it represents 22,000 job creations by 2022 with an average of 3,800 new hires each year in various fields.
