How does cold weather affect fiber optic connectors and cables?

  At the speed of light, it carries huge quantities of data at the speed of light – optical fibre is everywhere. Flexible and thin, around the thickness of human hair, glass or plastic fibre is super-fast.   Overtaking copper wire as the medium of choice, fibre carries data as [ Continue reading…]

How to use fast connectors?

The wide application of the fiber to the home (FTTH) promotes the rise of the optic connector. This product has the characteristics of small size and fast connection, and caused small loss, high stability, it’s essential fiber connection devices for fiber system. Today will introduce the use instruction of fiber [ Continue reading…]

What is Fiber Optic Adapter

  Fiber optic adapters (also known as Fiber couplers, Fiber Adapter ) are designed to connect two optical cables together. They have a single fiber connector (simplex), dual fiber connector (duplex) or sometimes four fiber connector (quad) versions. The optical fiber adapter can be inserted into different types of optical [ Continue reading…]

Detailed Introduction of Optical Amplifiers

Optical Amplifier   WHAT IS OPTICAL AMPLIFIER? Optical Amplifier is a device referred to as a repeater accomplished the re-amplification where optical signal is attenuated when traveling through an optical fiber in long-distance applications. While the technology available today eliminates the need for repeaters, the optical amplifiers are now used [ Continue reading…]

How We Designed the Low Profile Optical Switch Differently

  On the previous blog we specifically spoke about the differences between optical switches and mechanical switches. Simply put, an optical switch differs from a mechanical switch in that they use light for actuation instead of a metal to metal connection, which enhances the speed and act way faster than [ Continue reading…]

The Knowledge of Optical Switch

Optical networking technology has grown rapidly and helped solve the problem of increasing demand for higher transfer data rates and bandwidths. In optical networks, optical fiber is the fundamental medium of transmission, but functions like switching, signaling and processing are accomplished electronically. To achieve conversions between optical signals and electrical [ Continue reading…]

How to test fiber optic splitters or other passive devices

A fiber optic splitter is a device that splits the fiber optic light into several parts by a certain ratio. For example, when a beam of fiber optic light transmitted from a 1X4 equal ratio splitter, it will be divided into 4-fiber optic light by equal ratio that is each [ Continue reading…]

What is a PLC Splitter and How Does a PLC Splitter Work?

What is PLC Splitter? PLC splitter known as Planar Lightwave Circuit is used for dividing one or two light beams to multiple light beams uniformly or combining multiple light beams to one or two light beams. It has a passive component with special waveguide made of planar silica, quartz, or [ Continue reading…]
