Maintaining Fiber Network With Fiber Optic Identifier
No CommentsDuring fiber optic network installation, maintenance or restoration, it is also often necessary to identify a specific fiber without disrupting live service. This battery powered instrument looks like a long handheld bar is called fiber optic identifier or live fiber identifier. Optical fiber identifier employs safe and reliable macro bending [ Continue reading…]
Economically Increase Network Capacity With CWDM Mux/DeMux
No CommentsAs the demands for voice, video and data networks are increasing dramatically, more bandwidth and higher transmission speed over long distances are needed. To meet these demands, it means that service providers should depend on more fiber optics which definitely cause more costs for optical devices. But they apply Wavelength [ Continue reading…]
Fiber Splitter for FTTH Applications
No CommentsPassive 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…]
Selection Guide on PoE Switch
No CommentsCurrently 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…]
A Quick Guide To Fiber Optic Power Meter
No CommentsWhen 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…]
How to Troubleshoot a Faulty PON With an OTDR
No CommentsIt 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…]
What Is The Basic Principle Of OTDR Test
No CommentsThere 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…]
Introduction Of Specialty Fibers For Optical Communication Systems
No CommentsOptical 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…]
How 5G Wireless Goes Hand in Hand With Fiber Optics
No CommentsWireless 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…]
The True Value Behind Fiber Optic Communications
No CommentsWhen 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…]
