What is Armored Fiber Optic Cable?Armored fiber optic cable can be divided into two types according to the metal tube: interlock armored fiber cable and corrugated armored cable. Interlocking armor is an aluminum armor that is helically wrapped around the cable and found in indoor and indoor/outdoor cables. It offers ruggedness and superior crush resistance. Read more

What Is Fiber Optic Microcables?As fiber optic communications systems are expanded to accommodate rapidly growing communications needs, three has been a demand for higher density cables with higher fiber count. This has led to two new cable designs, microcables with up to 288 or even 432 fibers and high fiber count cables. High fiber counts Read more

FTTH, or Fiber To The Home, refers to fiber optic cable that replaces the standard copper wire of the local Telco. Many people prefer it because it can carry high-speed broadband services integrating voice, data and video, and runs directly to the junction box at a home or building. For this reason, it is sometimes Read more

Different Types of PLC Splitters Fiber optic PLC splitter can be categorized by the PLC splitter chip they use, meaning there are 1xN and 2xN PLC splitters, such as 1×4, 1×8, 1×16, 2×32, 2×64, etc. Installers can choose different input and output numbers depending on subscriber conditions or cable length. In addition, PLC splitter manufacturers Read more

Fiber optic adapters (also called couplers) are designed to connect two fiber optic cables together. They come in versions to connect single fibers together (simplex), two fibers together (duplex), or sometimes four fibers together (quad). Adapters are designed for multimode or singlemode cables. The singlemode adapters offer more precise alignment of the tips of the Read more

☞Insertion Loss & Back Reflection ●To improve cable performance, Insertion loss and back reflection must be minimized. ●To minimize insertion loss, the proper selection of materials is vital. When pick out the material of the core, we use zirconia ceramic ferrule to reach the optimum insertion loss and return loss. Also, safe termination practices are Read more
