Whether OM5 fiber optics is the Next Multimode Standard?

OM5 Multimode fiber optic has arrived, but, what is OM5 Fiber? OM5, previously known as wide band multimode fiber or WB MMF.   The IEC/ISO standards bodies have recently agreed that WBMMF (Wide Band Multimode Fiber) is the nomenclature of OM5. This specifically relates to 50/125 laser-optimized multimode fiber or LOMFF [ Continue reading…]

differences between Loose tube fiber and tight buffered

Tight buffered and loose tube fiber are the two styles of constructions Fiber optic cables offered. Between them, there are several common denominators, like the fact that both have in their interior a strengthening member of sorts that can be made of stainless steel in the form of wire strands, aramid yarn [ Continue reading…]

Optical fiber applications in CCTV systems

CCTV consists in the installation of cameras on strategical places and the observation of transmitted images in monitors that could be anywhere from 3ft to 600ft away. It is an important part of almost every security system since it is used to watch over high-secure facilities or monitoring traffic, therefore [ Continue reading…]

Benefits of FTTH

by www.fiber-mart.com Fiber To The Home (FTTH) is the use of fiber optic cords to deliver communications signals from the operator’s central network to individual houses, buildings or residences, changing old copper infrastructures to provide higher bandwidth to customers. There are roughly 15 million FTTH subscribers in Europe, 9.6 million [ Continue reading…]

Fiber optic connector guide

At least 100 optical fiber connector types have been created and introduced to the market by several manufacturers since 1980 and they all basically do the same work: mating two fibers ends without making it permanent, lining up tiny glass fibers so light pulses can travel through them.   Structure   Fiber [ Continue reading…]

Difference between singlemode and multimode fiber

Optic fiber bases its velocity on the speed at which these beams of light travel from one point to another. There are two types of fiber cables that are commonly used it, singlemode and multimode. Both have a conduit in the center called its core through which the light travels [ Continue reading…]

Faster and Longer Fiber Optics for the future

Electrical engineers have broken key barriers that limit the distance information that can travel in fiber optic cables and still be accurately deciphered by a receiver. Obtained by UC San Diego Web Site.   Photonics researchers at the University of California, San Diego have increased the maximum power — and therefore distance [ Continue reading…]

Advantages of optical fiber over copper cables

Since its introduction, optical fiber cables have been known to be the best transmission medium and an innovation that promised to significantly push broadband speeds. And it actually did it.   But there is still a competition between copper and fiber. Both markets are increasing their products and potentially growing. [ Continue reading…]

Optical fiber beyond telecommunication

Optical fiber beyond telecommunication Optical fiber is great for carrying huge amounts of data over long distances at unimagined speeds and providing us with high-speed Internet connections that nowadays are more a necessity than a luxury, but they also have an excellent throughput in other fields beside telecommunications, since they are [ Continue reading…]
