The Advantage Of Media Converters
No Commentsby Fiber-MART.COM Media converters are a beneficial tool to have when assessing today’s networks. In the past (and somewhat still in the present), copper cabling was a dominant force in the technology field. At its core, a media converter is used to connect two devices that are not entirely relatable. [ Continue reading…]
How light travels in multimode fiber
No Commentsby Fiber-MART.COM The most important component affecting loss in a multimode cable plant is the source-coupling light into the fiber. Light sources may be light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or lasers. Lasers may be VCSELs (vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers) or Fabry-Perot lasers (telecom style). Each of these emits light in a different pattern, with [ Continue reading…]
