Most telecommunications projects use standard equipment and optical fibers, but what if this is not the case? Standard LC, SC, ST and FC fiber optic connectors with sleeve holes can meet the requirements in 99% [...]
The most common MTP/MPO connectors are terminated on 12 or 24 ribbon cables because ribbon cables have appeared in multi-fiber arrays. Ribbon fibers are usually composed of 12 different colors of bare fibers, which are [...]
Whether you are an experienced technician or a fiber optic novice, training can benefit all levels of technicians. There are many different aspects of training that can help fiber optic technicians master the ever-changing technology, [...]
In optical fibers, data is transmitted through light pulses sent through a thin glass beam, with the purpose of converting these pulses into useful information. The unit of measurement of performance is the decibel (dB)1, [...]
When it comes to fiber optic junction boxes, a variety of options are available. Usually, a common question asked by customers is which box is best for their application. This is a question with connotation. [...]
1. The difference between adapters Fiber optic adapters (also called fiber optic couplers or mating sets) are designed to connect two fiber optic cables together. Fiber optic adapters are designed for multi-mode or single-mode cables [...]
The termination method you choose is as important as the connector you choose. The following are the most common termination methods. 1. Connector termination options Interface loss +'termination loss' = true connector loss The important [...]
In a single-mode fiber, the output of the source laser is transmitted to each other at right angles through two linear polarization modes. Imagine this is an ideal single-mode waveguide: The core and cladding are [...]
The stretching process requires a special fiber preform, which may be 1 meter in length, and stretched into fibers of hundreds of meters or even kilometers. In the design and manufacture of the preform, dopants [...]
We tend to receive the same basic questions about the splicing themes of types, benefits, and applications. First of all, the standard definition of optical fiber splicing is to connect two optical fiber cables together. [...]
