Brief Introduction of Fiber Optic Splitter
No Commentsby www.fiber-mart.com Fiber optic splitters are quite important in today’s optical network. Splitters can help users maximize the functionality of optical network circuits. A fiber optical splitter is a passive optical device that can split, or separate, an incident light beam into two or more light beams. These beams may or may [ Continue reading…]
WHAT IS A FIBER OPTIC SPLICE TRAY?
No Commentsby www.fiber-mart.com Splice trays are necessary for holding and protecting individual fusion splices or mechanical splices.

Which Networks Work Best On Single Mode Fiber Optic Cable?
No Commentsby www.fiber-mart.com Multi-Mode is best deployed on a local basis, as either the network backbone or in providing extremely high-speed connections directly to workers. Its high-speed data transmission properties limit its ability to transmit across long distances. Single-Mode has the opposite issue. It’s perfect for long-distance transmission, but will [ Continue reading…]
WHAT ARE VISUAL FAULT LOCATORS?
No Commentsby www.fiber-mart.com Many of the problems in connection of fiber optic networks are related to making proper connections. Since the light used in systems is invisible infrared light (IR) beyond the range of the human eye, one cannot see the system transmitter light. By injecting the light from a [ Continue reading…]
WHAT IS AN OTDR (OPTICAL TIME-DOMAIN REFLECTOMETER)?
No Commentsby www.fiber-mart.com An OTDR is the optical equivalent of an electronic time domain reflectometer. It injects a series of optical pulses into the fiber under test and extracts, from the same end of the fiber, light that is scattered (Rayleigh backscatter) or reflected back from points along the fiber. The [ Continue reading…]
