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…]
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 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…]
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…]
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…]
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…]
Do you know how important is to maintain a fiber connector clean? In fact, having a clean eviroment for the connector is one of the most important procedures in the conservation of a fiber optic system. This is necessary to keep quality connections. If any particle of dust, lint, oil [ Continue reading…]
The power reduction is done by such means as absorption, reflection, diffusion, scattering, reflection, diffraction, and dispersion, etc. Optical attenuators usually work by absorbing the light, like sunglasses absorb extra light energy. They typically have a working wavelength range in which they absorb all light energy equally. They [ Continue reading…]
An optical attenuator is a passive device used to reduce the power level of an optical signal, either in free space or in an optical fiber. There are various types of them from the fixed ones, step-wise variable, and continuously variable. Attenuators are usually used when the signal arriving at the [ Continue reading…]
Given the growing demand for data on both fixed and mobile networks and the big size of the USA market, there is continuous pressure for operators to invest in fiber networks and to push connectivity closer to consumers. In recent years the United States has seen increased activity from [ Continue reading…]
