Multimedia Modular Panel–Flexible Solution for Mixing Fiber and Copper Cabling

pending image

No matter we are constructing a copper network or a fiber optic network, inline coupler or fiber adapter always plays an important role in terminating or connecting between two lines. Now both copper networking and fiber optic networking technologies are being developed to meet the continuously increased bandwidth needs. And there are [ Continue reading…]

pending image

Allied Fiber, which plans a nationwide open-access, network-neutral colocation and dark fiber network, says that the first links on its southeastern route are ready for service. The newly opened route segment runs 360 miles from Miami, FL to Jacksonville, FL, and is part of a system expected to reach Atlanta [ Continue reading…]



How To Repair The Accidentally Cut Fiber Optic Cables

pending image

Underground fiber optic cables can be accidentally cut. The most typical factor which could cause this accident may be the utilization of backhoe while digging. If it happens to you, you can simply search for backhoe and obtain the cut cables. However, if it is brought on by moles, it will likely [ Continue reading…]


Fiber Optic Cable are usually used in two scenarios

pending image

Fiber Optic Cable are used in applications where the optical signal is too strong and needs to be reduced. For example, in a multi-wavelength fiber optic system, you need to equalize the optical channel strength so that all the channels have similar power levels. This means to reduce stronger channels’ powers [ Continue reading…]


Cabling architectures and communication availability

pending image

Ensuring communications remain available is vital during a disaster. If workers in the office lose the internet because of a tornado, the business disruption is a problem, but not nearly as much of an issue as it would be if communications go down completely. Installing cabling architectures that interconnect with [ Continue reading…]



Do you really know 1000BASE-LX / LH SFP?

pending image

1000BASE-LX/LH SFP1000BASE-LX LH SFP, one of the commonly used fiber optic transceivers, is now widely used in optical transmission systems. With the development of 40/100G Ethernet, even 400G Ethernet, this kind of transceiver module is nothing new to the module users. However, few people can deliver a clear answer to [ Continue reading…]


The advantages of Cisco CWDM/DWDM solutions

pending image

The Cisco CWDM solutions are built on the Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) technology to support the gigabit Ethernet services. The Cisco CWDM GBIC products can be inserted into the Cisco switches and routers. The Cisco DWDM products are based on the wireless fiber media converter. And these Cisco DWDM products [ Continue reading…]


The FOA Reference For Fiber Optics

pending image

Fiber Optic Transmitters and Receivers (Transceivers)   Fiber optic transmission systems (datalinks) all work similar to the diagram shown above. They consist of a transmitter on one end of a fiber and a receiver on the other end. Most systems operate by transmitting in one direction on one fiber and [ Continue reading…]


SIMPLE FUSION SPLICING GUIDE

pending image

Fusion Splicing is simply joining two optical fibers together by making use of heat. The two optical fibers should be fused in such as way as to allow light to be passed through them without scattering or reflecting light back at the point of the splice. The heat used to fuse [ Continue reading…]
