ST Connector Introduction – Fiber Connector Introduction
The ST connector (Straight Tip or Bayonet Fiber Optic Connector ), mainly applied in Multimode, rarely single-mode, complied with IEC 61754-2, the ST Connector features a 2.5 mm ferrule with a quick release bayonet (stick and twist) style body for ease of use. ST connectors are available for single mode UPC with yellow boots, APC […]
FC Connector Introduction – Fiber Connector Introduction
The FC connector (short for Ferrule Connector or Fiber Channel), it mainly applied for Datacom, telecom, measurement equipment, single-mode lasers; becoming less common, The FC connector features a 2.5 mm ferrule and a threaded metal coupling nut, for a secure connection in high vibration environments and in laboratory testing for consistent results. A range of […]
LC Connector Introduction – Fiber Connector Introduction
The LC connector (short for Lucent Connector, Little Connector, or Local Connector), It features a 1.25mm Zirconia ferrule in a small form factor (SFF) fibre optic connector housing with a snag free latch which gives an audible click upon engaging for reliable and high density connections. The LC connector complied with IEC 61754-20, it is […]
SC Connector Introduction – Fiber Connector Introduction
The SC connector (short for Subscriber Connector, square connector or Standard Connector) mianly used in Datacom and telecom; GPON; EPON; GBIC, It features a 2.5mm Zirconia Ceramic ferrule and a push/pull coupling mechanism for a fast and reliable connection. The SC connectors are available for single mode UPC with blue boots, for APC with green […]
Evolution of MPO Connectors
The MPO was created to provide highly reliable connections in high density fiber applications, primarily in interoffice data network environments. The connector was revolutionary and performed as advertised in its early years, and helped advance optical connectorization in subsequent decades. The data communications industry uses MPO connectors to connect fiber backbone in premises applications, mainframe […]
OM4 fiber optic cabling
What is OM4 ? Based on The New TIA/EIA Standard, OM4 is a laser-optimized, high bandwidth 50µm multimode fiber. In August of 2009, TIA/EIA approved and released 492AAAD, which defines the performance criteria for this grade of optical fiber. While they developed the original “OM” designations, IEC has not yet released an approved equivalent standard […]
OTN Technology Overview
The following technologies have a common goal of being able to route packet technologies (Ethernet) across a network in a deterministic way while providing a stable system with management and fault-finding abilities. Technologies such as SDH/SONET, which is connection-oriented, are very deterministic in routing and quality but they are also very inflexible with regards to […]
Why Do I Need an OTDR?
An optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) is an optoelectronic instrument used to characterize an optical fiber. An OTDR is the optical equivalent of an electronic time domain reflectometer. It injects a series of optical pulses into the fiber under test and extracts, from the same end of the fiber, light that is scattered (Rayleigh backscatter) or […]
