Fiber cleaning leads to successful fiber blowing operations
Although blown optical fiber systems are helping to expand more reliable networks more quickly, one crucial element to reliability that cannot be overlooked is the importance of cleaning fiber-optic connections like splices and endfaces. For some cable installers, cleaning may not always be the focus, but it plays a vital role in ensuring the reliability and performance of fiber-optic networks.

Optical Connectors Market Prime Economies Expected to Deliver Major Growth until 2033
Market Definition…
Bringing an open optical network to life: tales from the field
Open optical networking (OON) is an increasingly popular networking approach where the optical terminals are decoupled from the line system, enabling operators to operate optical signals generated by transceivers from multiple vendors over a dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) open line system from a different supplier. OON allows network operators to become more competitive, enabling vendor choice that supports a more resilient supply chain, faster access to innovation, and improved economics.With a growing number of high-performance coherent optical pluggables on the market that can be equipped directly in switches and routers in IP over DWDM (IPoDWDM) deployments. These bypass the traditional use of transponders, streamlining architecture and lowering costs.
Draka Twisted-Pair Cables Use Recycled Copper
Prysmian’s Draka Green Connect product line incorporates 100% recycled copper in its F/UTP cables, as well as recycled compounds in its fiber-optic cables, as part of the manufacturer’s sustainability commitment.
Making the business case for cable certification
Every serious installer who completes a structured cabling deployment will test all links in some way to ensure they are properly connected. But is it necessary to fully certify and document the performance of every link?
Certification testing offers significant benefits, and skipping it brings substantial risk. The following five reasons and expert words of wisdom make the case that it’s worth fully certifying and documenting every job.
APOLAN marks a decade of optical LAN advocacy by looking to the future
