The Advantages of Fibre • The Advantages of Fibre • High Bandwidth • Fibre provides greater bandwidth than copper, so it's ideal for data-intensive multimedia applications • Greater Distances • Very little signal loss occurs during transmissio...

...used to analyze optical fibre. It sends a series of light pulses into the fibre under test and analyzes the light that is scattered and reflected back. These reflections are caused by faults such as breaks, splices, connectors, and adapters along th...

...vs. tight-buffered fibre optic cable • Loose-tube vs. tight-buffered fibre optic cable • There are two styles of fibre optic cable construction: loose tube and tight buffered. Both contain some type of strengthening member, such as aramid yarn,...

...Work or Quick Fibre Conections • Crimp Lock Connectors are ideal for emergency restoration work or quick fibre connections made at the desk. No epoxy means no mess, no toxicology issues, and no waiting. For sure connection, the fibre passe...

...Bend radius • Bending a fibre cable • One of the most important considerations when installing fibre optic cable is maintaining the minimum bend radius. Bending a fibre cable excessively may cause the optical signal to refract and escape through the...

Fibre cable and pulling eyes • Fibre cable and pulling eyes • A damaged Fibre Optic Cable during Pulling • Fibre optic cable can be damaged if pulled improperly. Broken or cracked fibre, for example, can result from pulling on the fibre core o...

How fibre is insulated for use in harsh environments • How fibre is insulated for use in harsh environments • Fibre optic cable not only gives you immunity to interference and greater signal security, but it’s also constructed to insulate the ...

...the run to the end. • Fibre Cable • In fibre cable, insertion loss (also called optical loss) measures the amount of light lost from beginning to end. Many things can cause light to be lost: absorption, diffusion, scattering and dispersion. • Poor...

...tubing to each fibre within a loose-tube cable. It can be a headache-inducing task if you don’t have the right tools. If you bend the cable or buffer tubes past their recommended bend radius, or if you allow them to kink, you’ll end up with...

Fiber To The Office • Fiber To The Office • The classical network • A classical network consists of a rack with switches and patch panels and outlets in your cable conduit. Between the outlets and the patch panel you use Cat5, 6 or 7 cables. H...
