Do you know Fiber Optical Transponders?
No CommentsWhat is Fiber Optical Transponder? As we know, transponder is important in optical fiber communications, it is the element that sends and receives the optical signal from a fiber. A transponder is typically characterized by its data and the maximum distance the signal can travel. Functions of a Fiber [ Continue reading…]
Differences between EPON and GPON
No CommentsPON is the abbreviation of passive optical network, which only uses fiber and passive components like fiber splitter and combiner. EPON （Ethernet PON) and GPON (Gigabit PON) are the most important versions of passive optical networks, widely used for Internet access, voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), and digital TV delivery [ Continue reading…]
Media Converters Provide Cost-effective Soluton
No CommentsNetwork complexity, demanding applications, and also the growing number of devices around the network are driving network speeds and bandwidth requirements higher and forcing longer distance requirements within the LANs. However, Media Converters provide solutions to these complaints, utilizing the optical fiber if it is needed, and integrating new equipment [ Continue reading…]
Functions of ONT and OLT in GPON Network
No CommentsGigabit passive optical network (GPON) is a point-to-multipoint access mechanism providing end users with the ability to consolidate multiple services onto a single fiber transport network. To realize this technology, many devices are used to support the network, such as optical splitter, ONT, OLT, etc. In this article, we will [ Continue reading…]
CWDM System Testing Process
No CommentsWith the explosion of CWDM, it is very necessary to formulate a basic testing procedure to certifying and troubleshooting CWDM networks during installation and maintenance. Today, one of the most commonly available test methods is the use of an OTDR or power source and meter, which is capable of testing [ Continue reading…]
Fiber Optic Visual Light Testers
No CommentsVisual fault locators can be part of OTDR, which is able to locate the breakpoint, bending or cracking of the fiber glass. It can also locate the fault of OTDR dead zone and make fiber identification from one end to the other end. Fiber optic visual fault locators include the pen type, [ Continue reading…]
How to Terminate Fiber Optic Cables?
No CommentsSince the late 1970s, various connectors and termination methods have been brought to market. Now in the common case, cables are terminated in two ways: use connectors to make two fibers jointed or to connect the fiber to other network gears; use splices to make a permanent joint between two [ Continue reading…]
