Passive optical network (PON) has been widely applied in the construction of FTTH (fiber to the home). With PON architecture, network service providers can send the signal to multiple users through a single optical fiber, which can help them save great costs. To build the PON architecture, optical fiber splitter [ Continue reading…]
Currently IP cameras are widely used for video surveillance due to the high requirements for security. Typically, the IP cameras are with PoE functions, then PoE switch is needed for the connection. But some users feel confused about the PoE switch and don’t know how to choose a suitable PoE [ Continue reading…]
When you install and terminate fiber optic cables, you always have to test them. A test should be conducted for each fiber optic cable plant for three main areas: continuity, loss, and power. And optical power meters are part of the toolbox essentials to do this. There are general-purpose power [ Continue reading…]
It is easy to trouble shoot the failure which occurs on a point-to-point FTTx network by using an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) test. However, troubleshooting a faulty point-to-multipoint network (i.e. PON network) differs significantly and are more complex than a point to point network. This post will introduce the [ Continue reading…]
There are many fiber tools available for testing at different stages of the network, to meet various test requirements. These tests are used to reveal the total loss, optical return loss (ORL) and fiber length, can be in a single fiber or a complete network. In addition, the test may [ Continue reading…]
Optical fiber communications have changed our lives over the last 40 years. There is no doubt that low-loss optical transmission fibers have been critical to the enormous success of optical communications technology. It is less well known however, that fiber-based components have also played a critical role in this success. [ Continue reading…]
Wireless networks are getting better all the time. The most recent development is 5G, which stands for fifth generation, and it will cover a wide range of devices. It will cover fixed network infrastructure as well as mobile which makes people wonder if it will eliminate the need for fiber cables. [ Continue reading…]
When it comes to choosing network cables for your business, you want to make sure you choose the right kind. With several different ones available on the market, the last thing you want to do is choose the wrong type and then end up having to replace them all in [ Continue reading…]
If you haven’t heard about 10Gbase technology yet, it consists of communications technology that enables 10-Gigabit Ethernet operations over twisted pair copper cable, and that covers both un-shielded and shielded cable. The 10Gbase cables made of copper offer the appeal of affordability along with great performance, so altogether that’s a pretty [ Continue reading…]
Technology has massively gotten better over the years and now the standard is to have LAN on commercial facilities. LAN stands for local area network. It is ideal for places where there are many different computers or devices that will be using the same network and link to the server. [ Continue reading…]
