Fiber Optics knowledge

Networking is a wide ranging and loosely defined area in the industry. With all broadband and MSO applications using a network structure to deliver its signal, networking applications have a significant contribution in virtually every area.

Mechanical Splicing Kit Knowledge of fiber optic splicing methods is vital to any company or fiber optic technician involved in Telecommunications or LAN and networking projects.

Optical fiber composite low-voltage cable (OPLC) is a cable stranded together with insulated wire and fiber optic unit which have both functions of power transmission and optical communication. The cable is used for power engineering less than 1KV.

To begin, strip the cable down to the bare fiber using an appropriate fiber stripper such as the SOPTO Fiber Stripper. After you have prepared the end of the cable you may begin to mix the epoxy resin and hardener together and load it into a syringe, unle

A fiber-optic cable is composed of many very thin strands of coated glass or plastic fibers that transmit light through the process of "cladding," in which total internal reflection of light is achieved by using material that has a lower refractive index.

With the industry gradually clear understanding on the triple play, the construction of the fiber-optic network is rapidly carried out, competition is fiercer. Especially China Telecom recently dished started "Broadband China, Optical Network City" projec

In 1854, John Tyndall demonstrated to the Royal Society that light could be conducted through a curved stream of water, proving that a light signal could be bent.

If you are experiencing difficulties performing network tests over short distances via fiber optic cables, then you might benefit from using fiber attenuators in your testing environment.

Fiber optic technology is becoming the medium of choice for a variety of automotive applications.

Broadcast media utilizes outside plant, ruggedized, and harsh environment fiber optic products to support a variety of connectivity and communication requirements.

Fiber optics are plastic tubing filled with thin glass filaments which carry data in the form of light across a network. The basic of fiber optics consists of speed, distance, resistance and bandwidth. Fiber optic cables function at gigabit speeds.

Carrier networks are defined as a network, or series of networks, providing connectivity to cities, towns, or other entities on a large scale.

Intrabuilding conduit runs can be in ceilings or walls or under floors, although there are certain limits because conduit systems are very inflexible. Such systems should be used only when workstation outlet locations are permanent, and where no wiring fl

CATV (cable television) systems support multiple services including broadcast television, on-demand entertainment (video), and high speed internet access.

Both the core and the cladding of an optical fiber are made of highly purified silica glass. An optical fiber is manufactured from silicon dioxide by either of two methods. The first, the crucible method, in which powdered silica is melted, produces fatte

Mechanical splices are simply alignment devices, designed to hold the two fiber ends in a precisely aligned position thus enabling light to pass from one fiber into the other. (Typical loss: 0.3 dB)

As mentioned previously, fusion splicing is a junction of two or more optical fibers that have been permanently affixed by welding them together by an electronic arc.

Before optical fibers can be successfully fusion-spliced, they need to be carefully stripped of their outer jackets and polymer coating, thoroughly cleaned, and then precisely cleaved to form smooth, perpendicular end faces.

Thoroughly and frequently clean your splicing tools. When working with fiber, keep in mind that particles not visible to the naked eye could cause tremendous problems when working with fiber optics. "Excessive" cleaning of your fiber and tools will save y

Fiber optic cables provide a reliable and fast method of data transfer. However, it's simply impossible to make a single fiber long enough to match the length of cable necessary for most networks.
