This article looks at enterprise fiber infrastructures and explains the options for fiber types, connector and termination choices and multimode fiber applications. Read the source article at epageflip.net
It is important to make sure your fiber optic connector end faces are clean. Residues cause higher insertion loss. The image on the left has isopropyl alcohol residue. The image on the […]
This webinar will review the basic checks you need to make before turning up MPO-based fiber-optic cabling systems and explore each of the three tests in detail, including the potential risks of […]
In today’s world, the upward trend in connected equipment in many industrial applications, achieved through wiring technologies such as active optical cables and fibers, is driving a greater demand for the active […]
Cable TV Pioneers is a group that recognizes individuals who have in some way contributed to the industry. This year they nominated the 52nd class, one of the largest. I have been […]
In my August 2017 column, I discuss the history of fiber optic connector termination and a new technology, splice-on connectors (SOCs). At that time, I wrote, “These connectors, now known as splice-on […]
Recently, a new connector termination method appeared. Like prepolished/splice connector, these connectors were factory-assembled and polished. Instead of a mechanical splice in the connector, it had a short fiber pigtail, already cleaved […]
The singlemode fiber connectors you likely encounter the most feature a blue connector body, but if you’re working with any passive optical networks (PONs), carrier networks or large cloud/colo or hyperscale data […]
As a cabling pro, you know that winning jobs is a balancing act between delivering competitive bids and protecting your profitability – and that few things can cut into that profitability like […]
TE Connectivity (TE) recently unveiled its Octal Small Form Factor Pluggable (OSFP) connector and cable assembly portfolio, targeting next-generation data center requirements for data rates of 200 Gbits/s and 400 Gbits/s. They […]
