What Is a Fiber-Optic Multiplexer?

  A fiber-optic multiplexer is a device that processes two or more light signals through a single optical fiber, in order to increase the amount of information that can be carried through a network. Light wavelengths are narrow beams that ricochet through reflective optical tubing, sometimes over long distances, to [ Continue reading…]

Relationship Between the Optical Coupler and PLC Splitter

 In fact, splitter is named for the function of the device, coulper named for its working principle, splitter may be based coupler, and may be based on the waveguide or the separating element, coupler can be done either the splitter, but also can be done WDM, attenuator.   Optical coupler [ Continue reading…]

Types of Optical Isolator and their Working

An optical isolator, especially a Faraday isolator, is a device which transmits light in a certain direction while eliminating the back reflection and backscattering at any polarized state. It is generally categorized into two categories – Polarization Sensitive Optical Isolators and Polarization-Insensitive Optical Isolators. As I have already mentioned them [ Continue reading…]

What to Know Before Buying Optical Circulator

  Optical circulator is something used to monitor the optical power traveling in optical fiber. Either it can be used to polarize lights flowing different directions into a single direction or light in the single director into several directions.   There are varieties of Polarization Insensitive Optical Circulators meant to [ Continue reading…]

Common Armored Fiber Optic Cables

  Armored fiber optic cables are often installed in a network for added mechanical protection, as they have extra reinforcing in the cable housing to prevent damage. Two types of armored fiber optic cables exist: interlocking and corrugated. Interlocking armor is an aluminum armor that is helically wrapped around the [ Continue reading…]

What Is the Working Principle Of Fiber Optic Cables

  For understanding the working principle of optical fiber cable clearly, we first further learn the components of an optical fiber cable.   Components of Fiber Cable   A fiber optic cable can be divided into three parts. It is a coaxial cable, and the center most part is called [ Continue reading…]

LC Connector and LC Attenuator

A fiber optic connector terminates the end of an optical fiber and enables quicker connection and disconnection than splicing. The fibers are mechanically coupled and aligned to ensure that light can pass.   There has been many different connectors introduced through the development of fiber optic components previously many years. [ Continue reading…]

Guide To Fiber Optic Attenuator

  Fiber Optic Attenuator is a device to reduce the optical fiber power at a certain level by a predetermined factor. The intensity of the signal is described in decibels (dB) over a specific distance the signal travels. Attenuator provides a certain amount of isolation between instruments, thus reducing measurement [ Continue reading…]
