Preventing optical loss
Attenuation in optical network is wavelength dependent and the longer wavelengths, the more susceptible the fiber cable is to macrobending. Proper management and handling of fiber cables, and of individual fibers, prevents […]
The End of RF Interference Hunting Guesswork
Locating an interference source is nothing short of finding a needle in a haystack. From a service provider perspective, RF interference is much more than a nuisance. If it is not eliminated, […]
Real-Time Analytics | NFV | Virtualized Environment
You need your network service assurance system to detect and flag potential problems in real time, before they affect subscribers’ quality of experience—or at least within seconds after they occur—otherwise you’re risking […]
Good News for WBMMF
Up until very recently, wide band multimode fiber (WBMMF) didn’t really have a definition – at least one that was widely recognized. Now, after 20 months, six face-to-face meetings, 13 teleconferences and […]
Ideal Networks issues clarion call for encircled flux-compliant fiber testing
The test-equipment provider stresses compliance with ISO/IEC and TIA standards requiring the encircled flux launch condition for multimode fiber testing. Read the source article at cablinginstall.com
WBMMF being referenced in proposed 2-fiber 100G standard
CommScope’s Paul Kolesar reports that a proposal within the IEEE cites TIA-492AAAE, the WBMMF standard, in a 2-fiber short-wavelength version of 100G. Read the source article at cablinginstall.com
