People need to send -and receive- more data than ever, and the technology that’s available to them often seems to just not being able to keep up. Optical fiber seems to represent the best choice when it [ Continue reading…]
Is it OK to bend a Regular Optical Fiber Cable?
No CommentsOne of the most common concerns amongst the installation of fiber cables is related to the possibility of bending a fiber cable or not. Worrying about this issue comes off rather naturally: if one does bend a fiber cable, let’s say around a corner, would that harm the cable? Or even more [ Continue reading…]
The recent state of Optical Fiber Connectors
No CommentsWe have already covered the fundamentals of the optics connectors in a previous post. We explained the differences in polishing, RL and IL and choosing the right one. Nonetheless, technology keeps moving forward, and we need to be aware of the latest advancements so we can properly take advantage of the resources [ Continue reading…]
New Fiber Optics transmission record reported at OFC2018
No CommentsThe NICT (Network System Research Institute )and Fujikura Ltd. (Fujikura, President: Masahiko Ito) developed a 3-mode optical fiber, capable of wide-band wavelength multiplexing transmission with a standard outer diameter (0.125 mm) that can be cabled with existing equipment. The researchers have successfully demonstrated a transmission experiment over +1000 km [ Continue reading…]
Why you should care about better fiber optics?
