How to Build A Single-Fiber CWDM Network
No Commentsby www.fiber-mart.com In most fiber optic network, dual-way transmission is necessary, which is usually achieved via duplex fiber cable. However, in some cases, simplex fiber cable can also support dual-way transmission like network that uses BiDi modules. For instance, if you used a pair of BiDi fiber optic transceivers with [ Continue reading…]
Common Passive Fiber Optical Splitters
No Commentsby www.fiber-mart.com Fiber optical splitter, also named fiber optic coupler or beam splitter, is a device that can distribute the optical signal (or power) from one fiber among two or more fibers. Fiber optic splitter is different from WDM(Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology. WDM can divide the different wavelength fiber optic [ Continue reading…]
