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…]

How does fiber optic help oil production companies?

Optical fiber sensor technology has been used in oil and gas companies since 1990 for monitoring temperature and pressure in order to improve safety and raise production. Also, for many years companies have been collecting big quantities of data in order to know what lies behind the surface and how to [ Continue reading…]

What is a fiber optic coupler and how to properly choose it?

The relevance of fiber optic couplers, also called adapters, is constantly eclipsed by connectors.   but the truth is that they are a critical element in fiber optic links and systems and play a serious role in the connection performance.   Why?   Because fiber optic couplers role is to [ Continue reading…]

why Cloud Computing requires fiber optic broadband

You sure have heard the term cloud computing a lot lately since it has become closely linked to several aspects of our lives. And, surely, you have asked yourself what is the cloud and where exactly is it.   As it turns out, cloud computing means storing and accessing data [ Continue reading…]

Why distances matters in fiber optics?

It’s a well-known fact that fiber optics is the way most of the IT infrastructure service companies currently transmit information. It makes sense if you bear in mind that it allows information and data to travel at greater speeds, through greater distances, and in never-before-seen bundles.   Fiber optics also allows [ Continue reading…]
