The TLOT-730 OTDR is used to identify cable length and cable fault point or loss events of a fiber optic cable or link. This is mandatory during the installation/fiber acceptance test processes and also during troubleshooting tasks. This application note will provide the beginners with details concerning typical measurements of optical fibers for PON (passive […]
It is important to know the maximum speed that any network can provide, either now or in the future, because bit-rate requirements are growing and choices made today will affect the technical capabilities of the network tomorrow. Although it is difficult to predict the future, Nielsen’s law of Internet bandwidth described earlier provides a guide […]
Fujikura as one of the leading supplier for fiber optic products, especially for fusion splicer and cleaver. right now many people are asking whats the difference between FSM-80S, and FSM-70S fusion splicer, whats the difference among CT-30, CT-30A, and CT-30B cleaver, this article will describe the difference among them, and help you to choose the […]
Nowadays OTDR cost decrease significantly, however many people not familiar to choose the right OTDR, in the market, there are so many OTDR brands like EXFO, JDSU, Fluke, Anritsu, Tarluz, AFL etc. prices are also different, and many articles about how to selecting OTDRs, in this page, we make it simple, considering the following three […]
Currently, Scientists already doing experiment for quantum teleportation, and even the first quantum teleportation network is been tested, however, Fiber optic is still the only medium that currently used with a virtually unlimited bandwidth. As the demand for high bandwidth grows and the price of fiber declines, fiber is replacing copper has been traditionally used […]
1. Use an ONT (Optical Network Terminal) / ONU (Optical Network Unit) Tester to determine if the ONT/ONU at the subscriber’s end is responding to downstream signals from the OLT (Optical Line Terminal). The Active ONT /ONUidentifier clamps on to 0.9mm buffered fiber, or 2mm or 3 mm jacketed fiber, or 2.0mm x 3.0mm drop cable, senses and […]
Splitter-based FTTx architectures are a compromise between cost and the flexibility of running fiber to every subscriber location. Instead of running fiber from the central office/ headend to every home like in a P2P arrangement, which is extremely expensive, splitter-based architectures run a single fiber from the headend/central office out to a central distribution point […]
