Fiber Optics knowledge

Bi-directional testing of fiber optic cable is important to insure the quality of a fiber network. The main reason for this is due to the fact that no two glass fibers are exactly same…

Someone must want to know the inspection of fiber ends and joints. Here we show you the info.

Choosing a fiber optic cable for any given application requires considering two issues, installation requirements and environmental or long-term requirements. Installation requirements include where and how the cable will be installed, such as pulled in c

How Fiber Transmission Works? Light rays are modulated into digital pulses with a laser or LED and move along the core without penetrating the cladding… For more, please click here.

Ribbon cable is preferred where high fiber counts and small diameter cables are needed. This cable offers the highest packing density, since all the fibers are laid out in rows, typically of 12 fibers, and the ribbons are laid on top of each other.

Traffic control has been an issue since humans put the first wheels on the first cart. How fiber optics helps this problem? Look here for more please.

The basics of cleaning are simple. Use a pure grade of isopropyl alcohol on a clean cotton swab to wipe off the endface and ferrule…

Below are some reasons why you need to consider installing a fibre optic cable.

The primary specification of optical fiber is the attenuation. Attenuation means a loss of optical power…

This page intro 6 steps for us to select a fiber optic cable. If you are planning to purchase fiber optic cables, please see it.

Given the increasing bandwidth requirements and concerns about EMI, fiber optic cable is quickly replacing the more traditional choice, copper. Designed to survive the rigors of a mining environment…

The ability of fiber optic cable to meet the evolving needs of government AV/IT end users is a good reason for integrators to know a little more about it. Here’s a look at the anatomy of a fiber optic cable…

There are two primary approaches to lighting counters with fiber-optics. One is to place the cables through the finished surface so that at the end of the polishing process you can easily see the points of light at the end of the exposed cables…

A fiber optic data link is a communications subsystem that connects inputs and outputs (I/O) from electronic subsystems and transmits those signals over optical fiber…

Fiber cable termination is the addition of connectors to each optical fiber in a cable. The fibers need to have connectors fitted before they attach to other devices.

Decide how much cable you want in the termination cabinet, so you know how much jacket to remove at the slack end. Mark the jacket. Be sure you allow enough length. Some like to put a piece of shrink sleeve, about 2 in. or 3 in. long, over this point in t

Fiber optic lamps have become more popular in recent years as decorative items in homes and businesses. You can create one from home cheaply…

Ribbon fiber optic cable is a typical fiber optic cable. Unlike beam optical cable, ribbon fiber optic cable is arranged into a strip.

Plastic optical fiber (POF cable) is an optical fiber made out of plastic rather than traditional glass. Traditionally PMMA is the core material, and fluorinated polymers are the cladding material…
