The following specification is the fiber testers and specification for a cable before delivery. 1. Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) — sends a laser pulse through the fiber and detects the return signal strength as well as the transmitting time. This test shows the overall character of the fiber strand including splice loss, splice numbers, connectors, […]
FTTH (fiber to the home) Project Time Line
The complexity of starting up an FTTH project does not often get highlighted as much as it should. A small but dedicated team will be needed to establish the viability of the project. Distinction should be established between planning, designing, building and operating an FTTH network. Different skills are required and therefore it is likely […]
24 Fiber MPO-LC Module Cassettes
A data center is a facility used to house computer systems and associated components, such as telecommunications and storage systems. It generally includes redundant or backup power supplies, redundant data communications connections, environmental controls (e.g., air conditioning, fire suppression) and various security devices. Large data centers are industrial scale operations using as much electricity as […]
Fujikura 62S, 61S Fusion Splicer
The Fujikura 62S provides active core alignment splice loss performance while utilizing a conventional wind protector and tube heater design. An alternative to the fully automated core-alignment model 70S, the 62S includes an auto start feature for both the splicing and tube heating process that minimizes the steps necessary to process splices. With a shrink […]
Fluke OTDR
CertiFiber® Pro – Accelerates every step of the fiber certification process The CertiFiber Pro improves the efficiency of fiber certification with a 3 seconds, two fibers at both wavelengths. The Taptive user interface simplifies set-up, eliminates errors and speeds troubleshooting. A set reference wizard ensures correct reference setting and eliminates negative loss errors. Built on […]
IEEE wireless standards
The IEEE 802.11 wireless Ethernet standards come from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE). This organization only sets the specifications for the standards—it doesn’t test individual wireless products for compliance to these standards. Because the IEEE 802.11 standards are real Ethernet standards that look like Ethernet to your applications, compatibility with wired […]
Applications driving demand for next-gen PON
Four major application areas are driving next-gen PON development and standardization. FTTBuilding for multi-dwelling units (MDUs) – In these deployments, next-gen PON would provide more bandwidth to be shared among the units in the building. Enterprises – Next-gen PON would provide enterprises with more upstream bandwidth, supporting video conferencing and cloud-based file backup, […]
The advantage of TWDM PON
With the completion of lab trials this year, commercial trials expected in 2015, and initial deployments forecast for 2016, TWDM PON (time wavelength division multiplexing passive optical networking) is on the horizon. While today’s PON meets the requirements of residential subscribers, small-tomedium-sized usinesses (SMBs), and some MBH (mobile backhaul) applications, CSPs (communications service providers) want […]
What is VSAT
VSAT is short for very small aperture terminal, an earthbound station used in satellite communications of data, voice and video signals, excluding broadcast television. A VSAT consists of two parts, a transceiver that is placed outdoors in direct line of sight to the satellite and a device that is placed indoors to interface the transceiver […]
What is Quantum Teleportation?
I. INTRODUCTION Teleportation is commonly understood as a fictional method for disembodied transport: An object or person is disintegrated at one place and it is perfectly reconstructed somewhere else. Thus, teleportation can be compared to transmission of a three-dimensional object using a kind of super fax machine which, however, destroys the original object on scanning. […]
