Photo taken from Conrad Chompff (Owner, AnD Cable Products Inc.) – LinkedIn The 10 key concepts for choosing fiber optic cables are as follows: When selecting fiber optic cables for your project, there are several key considerations ⚡️ 1: Fiber Type – Single-mode vs multimode fibers have different transmission distances and light sources. 2: Fiber […]

FTTH Technology : Fiber to the Home 1.FTTH networks combines a higher transmission rates and lower energy consumption thru Fiber Cable to your Home. 2. Most FTTH networks are based on PON “passive optical network” architectures. 3-PON is a fiber network that uses only passive components, such as splitters instead of active components, such as […]

📍Fiber Components and Properties. 》Fiber strand component is known as (3Cs)CoreCladdingCoating 》Fiber Optic CoreThis is the inner light-carrying member with a high index of refraction. It’s made of sold class. Core diameters are 62.5 μm, 50 μm, 8.3 μm. 》CladdingThis is the middle layer, which serves to confine the light to the core it acts […]

Linear VS Non Linear effects in optical networks – linear effects is some negative effects in WDM and optical networks that cause losses and performance degradation – examples on linear effects : 1- attenuation 2- scattering 3- chromatic dispersion 4- absorption – non linear effects is the second type , it’s very critical in case […]

Fiber Cable Attenuation Coefficient 1- Attenuation is reduction in power of the signal as it is transmitted. 2- When designing a fiber optic system, you need to take into consideration “The maximum channel attenuation” 3- Example : Multimode Fiber attenuation Coefficient is 3.5dB/km and Connector attenuation=0.75dB & Splice attenuation=0.3dB 4- Now: Cable attenuation = cable […]

Multifiber push-on (MPO) connectors also known as MTP connectors. – MPO/MTP cables consist of connectors and optical fibers ready to connect and more flexible & smaller than traditional trunk fiber cables. – MPO connectors are single mode and multimode. – MPO connectors can be male (with pins) or female (No pins). Advantage: – MPO/MTP prefabricated end cable is […]

📍What is Fiber Optics? Fiber Optic is the transmission of information in the form of light through a transparent medium, typically high-purity glass. 》Why we use Fiber Optics ? Superior performance -High capacity for information (bandwidth) -Low-loss/long-distance transmission Easy to install -Small size and light weight -No shielding required -Easy to test and certify Reliable […]

What Is Fiber Optic Cable Bend Radius and Why Does It Matter? – The bend radius is the radius in which a cable can be bent without getting damaged – If fiber is bent sharply light can leak out causing data loss, and attenuation. – Cable manufacturers always specify a minimum bend depending on the specific […]

Fiber to the office “FTTO” vs Copper cabling – FTTO uses micro switch can be mounted near network endpoints like “wall sockets” – FTTO uses fiber cables instead of copper – FTTO benefits for sustainability ; No need for floor telecom rooms No grounding or earthing problems No problems with electromagnetic FTTO is the greenest network […]
