When a high-speed signal enters or exits a component, such as a fiber optic connector , discontinuities and impedance mismatches will cause a reflection, or echo, which is know as return loss . While …

Insertion loss and return loss are two important data to evaluate the quality of many passive fiber optic components, such as fiber optic patch cord and fiber optic connectors, etc. In telecommunicati…

The history of fiber optic telecommunication deserves a book by itself since it took several generations to get the industry today. Optical fiber is a long thin cylindrical fiber made from glass or pl…

Fiber optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber. The light forms an electromagnetic carrier wave that is…

Telecommunications, also called telecommunication, is the exchange of information over significant distances by electronic means. A complete, single telecommunications circuit consists of two stations…

Fiber media converters are simple networking devices that make it possible to connect two dissimilar media types such as twisted pair with fiber optic cabling. They were introduced to the industry nea…

The optical fiber technology is based on the principle of carrying the data at the speed of light. The optical routers use optical switching techniques in order to work. The optical routers are able t…

Make a plan and do your homework if you are ready for wireless. Before you install the brains of your wireless network, the wireless router, there are some things you can do that might just save you t…

Cheap Wireless Routers are perfect to use if you are simply using them in your home or apartment. If you are on a tight budget, the best wireless router may not be the newest or have the most features…

The fiber optic inspection microscope is used for inspection of optical fiber connectors for scratches, dirt, or other problems normally associated with poor transmission performance. The typical magn…

An erbium amplifier, also called optical amplifier or an erbium-doped fiber amplifier or EDFA, is an optical or IR repeater that amplifies a modulated laser beam directly, without opto-electronic and …

Fiber optic amplifier is used to compensate for the wakening of information during the transmission because of fiber optic attenuation. Fiber optic repeater also can make this function but it is not g…

Optical fiber (or fiber optic) refers to the medium and the technology associated with the transmission of information as light pulses along a glass or plastic strand or fiber. Optical fibre carries m…

Optical Fiber is a technology that uses glass (or plastic) threads (fibers) to transmit data. The operation of an optical fibre is based on the principle of total internal reflection. Light reflects o…

In optical fiber technology , single mode fiber is optical fiber that is designed for the transmission of a single ray or mode of light as a carrier and is used for long-distance signal transmission. …

In optical fiber technology , multimode fiber is optical fiber that is designed to carry multiple light rays or modes concurrently, each at a slightly different reflection angle within the optical fib…

When light travels through matter it suffers power loss. One of the contributors to power loss is polarization. Virtually all optically transparent materials affect to some degree the polarization sta…

Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Network (PON) splitters play an important role in Fiber to the Home (FTTH) networks by allowing a single PON network interface to be shared among many subscribers. The…

Fiber optic cables are being used in an increasing number of applications, especially in networking for computers and cable/Internet. Preparing these cables, however, takes time, and one of the bigges…

About Fiber Optic Splitter Fiber optic splitter is used to split one beam of optical fiber light into several parts at a certain ratio, for example, a 1X4 LC type equal splitting ratio fiber optic spl…
