Common Armored Fiber Optic Cables

  Armored fiber optic cables are often installed in a network for added mechanical protection, as they have extra reinforcing in the cable housing to prevent damage. Two types of armored fiber optic cables exist: interlocking and corrugated. Interlocking armor is an aluminum armor that is helically wrapped around the [ Continue reading…]

What Is the Working Principle Of Fiber Optic Cables

  For understanding the working principle of optical fiber cable clearly, we first further learn the components of an optical fiber cable.   Components of Fiber Cable   A fiber optic cable can be divided into three parts. It is a coaxial cable, and the center most part is called [ Continue reading…]

LC Connector and LC Attenuator

A fiber optic connector terminates the end of an optical fiber and enables quicker connection and disconnection than splicing. The fibers are mechanically coupled and aligned to ensure that light can pass.   There has been many different connectors introduced through the development of fiber optic components previously many years. [ Continue reading…]

Guide To Fiber Optic Attenuator

  Fiber Optic Attenuator is a device to reduce the optical fiber power at a certain level by a predetermined factor. The intensity of the signal is described in decibels (dB) over a specific distance the signal travels. Attenuator provides a certain amount of isolation between instruments, thus reducing measurement [ Continue reading…]

PLC (Planar Lightwave Circuit) Splitter Module Technology

  PLC splitter module technology is the latest in passive, fiber-optic component manufacturing. It uses semiconductor (i.e. integrated circuit) fabrication techniques, to build compact, fiber-optic devices. This technique displaces fused-biconical taper devices for high-count splitters. The resulting devices are smaller and more robust.   Planar lightwave circuit (PLC) splitter is [ Continue reading…]

Relationship Between The Coupler And Splitter

Relationship between the coupler and splitter: In fact, splitter is named for the function of the device, coupler named for its working principle, splitter may be based coupler, and may be based on the waveguide or the separating element, coupler can be done either the splitter, but also can be [ Continue reading…]

WDM Optical MUX Technology Introduction

 With the exponential growth in communications, caused largely by the wide acceptance of the Internet, many carriers have found their estimates of fiber needs have been highly underestimated. Although most cables included many spare fibers when installed, this growth has used many of them and new capacity is required. Make [ Continue reading…]
