  • What Is Fiber Patch Cord?

    What Is Fiber Patch Cord?

    Fiber Patch Cord or Fiber Optic Patch Cable or Fiber Optic jumper cables is a fiber-optic cable capped at either end with connectors that allow it to be rapidly and conveniently connected to CATV, an optical switch or other telecommunication equipment. Its thick layer of protection is used to connect the optical transmitter, receiver, and…

  • What is PLC splitter?

    What is PLC splitter?

    Fiber optic splitters, also referred to as optical splitter, or beam splitter, is an integrated wave guide optical power distribution device that can split an incident light beam into two or more light beams, and vice versa, containing multiple input and output ends. Optical splitter has played an important role in passive optical networks (like…

    Fiber Optic Connector Guides

    What are fiber & networking connectors?Fiber optic connectors are unique. Fiber cables transmit pulses of light instead of electrical signals, so the terminations must be much more precise. Instead of merely allowing pins to make metal-to-metal contact, fiber optic connectors must align microscopic glass fibers perfectly in order to allow for communication. While there are…

  • How to correctly choose between PVC, LSZH and OFNP?

    How to correctly choose between PVC, LSZH and OFNP?

    Fiber patch cables are now widely used for indoor applications like buildings, factories, office parks ,campuses and so on. Whether you choose PVC, LSZH or OFNP jacket depends on where you’re going to run the cable. If you have any questions about the above, please leave a comment below.Thank you! Or feel free to contact…

  • What is the difference between FWDM and CWDM?

    What is the difference between FWDM and CWDM?

    The difference between FWDM and CWDM is that FWDM can multiplex or de-multiplex two or more optical signals of different wavelengths in a single wide wavelength range channel, as well as increasing signal transmission speed and communication capacity. FWDM device is widely used in telecommunications, radio and television, enterprise network, campus network and other fields…

  • What is DWDM?

    What is DWDM?

    Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) is anoptical multiplexingtechnology used to increase bandwidth overexisting fiber networks.DWDM works by combining and transmittingmultiple signals simultaneouslyat different wavelengths on the samefiber. The technology createsmultiple virtual fibers, thus multiplyingthe capacity of the physicalmedium. DWDM provides ultimate scalability and reach for fiber networks.Withoutthe capacity and reach of DWDM systems, most Web…

  • What’s the difference between PVC vs. LSZH vs. OFNP vs. OFNR cables Jacket?

    What’s the difference between PVC vs. LSZH vs. OFNP vs. OFNR cables Jacket?

    Physically, PVC and LSZH are very different. PVC are very soft; LSZH are more rigid because they contain the flame retardant compound, and they are aesthetically more pleasing. A PVC cable (made of polyvinyl chloride) has a jacket that gives off heavy black smoke, hydrochloric acid, and other toxic gases when it burns. Low Smoke…

  • Differentiates between several distinct FTTX configurations

    Differentiates between several distinct FTTX configurations

    FTTP (fiber-to-the-premises) This term is used either as a blanket term for both FTTH and FTTB, or where the fiber network includes both homes and small businesses. FTTH (fiber-to-the-home): Fiber reaches the boundary of the living space, such as a box on the outside wall of a home. Passive optical networks and point-to-point Ethernet are…

    What is 5G Everything You Need to Know – A Definition

    What is 5G? 5G is the term used to describe the next-generation of mobile networks beyond the 4G LTE mobile networks of today. As of mid-2016, there was no standard so the definition is still very fluid. It is assumed that 5G networks will not become commercially available until the 2020 timeframe. The International Telecommunications…

    How to set 5G WiFi on the ONT?

    Differences between 5G and 5GHz 5G and 5 GHz Wi-Fi technically, they do have some things in common. First, both terms revolve around wireless technology. More specifically, 5G is the cellular standard for digital signals used by mobile phones, in effect an upgrade from the previous 4G mobile network standard. 5 GHz refers to the…
