by www.fiber-mart.com Glass is very fragile. Evidence of this is in the plethora of options for shipping preparations and packing materials.   To ensure the product is in one piece upon delivery, lots of packing material is used with stickers added to the exterior of the box to alert people of the fragile contents inside.   Of course you know that  fiber optic cables  have glass in them, but it’s easy to be misled by the jacket surrounding the glass core; it would appear to be protected enough.   Don’t be fooled. You will need to handle this product with care. Here are some of the best practices for handling fiber optic cables.   Leave cable in a safe space Leave your cable boxes in a safe place until your team is ready to use them. Don’t open, don’t unwrap. Err on the side of caution to avoid potentially damaging situations – like someone rolling a cabinet over it – crashing into it with a forklift  truck!   Keep the ends...

by www.fiber-mart.com An  optical-fiber identifier , also known as a live fiber detector or optical-fiber detector, is a non-intrusive tool that detects optical transmissions, or the lack thereof, in an optical fiber. This device is a valuable asset for installing and maintaining fiber links and should be included in every technician`s toolkit.   Because the instrument is easy to use, technicians may get into trouble when they assume that the measurement is equally simple and can be accomplished to published specifications with little room for interpretation. It just isn`t so. The engineering behind an optical-fiber identifier is complex and exacting. The specifications can actually hinder a technician`s analysis of the readings that the identifier provides.   The optical-fiber identifier appears to be a simple device but is actually technically sophisticated. The technician clamps the device onto a fiber and receives an indication of traffic direction, presenc...

by www.fiber-mart.com Optical fiber identifier  is an essential installation and maintenance instrument which can identify the optical fiber by detecting the optical signals transmitted through the cables, during this process the fiber optic identifier do no harm or damage to the fiber cable and it also do not need opening the fiber at the splice point for identification or interrupting the service.   During this process the fiber optic identifier generate no harm or damage to the fiber cable and it do not need opening the fiber at the splice point for identification or interrupting the service.This optical fiber identifier detects frequency tones at 270Hz, 1KHZ, 2KHZ, when traffic is present on the fiber under test, an audible tone can be heard. In the meantime, it can identify the traffic direction that indicated by LED with illumination.   The fiber optic identifier is intended for engineers and technicians to identify dark or live fiber and excessive losses...

by www.fiber-mart.com Times are tough these days, which is why many people are looking to save a few dollars any way they can. A couple weeks ago we made a video showing you How To Build an Inexpensive Wall Mount Fiber Box. We've already had quite a few customers thank us for that cost saving solution. Today, let's talk about making your own  fiber optic patch cables .   Seems like just about everyone in the low voltage industry has made their own ethernet cat5e/cat6 cables at least once in their life (me included). And I'm sure you have too. So you're thinking, those are really easy and only take a few minutes, why don't I just start making my own fiber cables. Unfortunately, we're not comparing apples to apples here. Making your own fiber cables CAN be an easy process, but it's not very economical. I'm talking about the FAST fiber connectors from AFL Telecommunications. Although these connectors require only a couple minutes per strand to comple...

by www.fiber-mart.com Fiber patch cables are the backbone of the fiber optics industry. These fiber patch cables are strands of optically pure glass as thin as human hair.   These cables carry information via mode of transmission of light. Short patch leads usually made with stranded wire are flexible patch cables. The fiber patch cables are used to plug one piece of equipment into another. To sum, these cables are the most opted solution these days for the networking and broadcasting industry.   They have various uses in all kinds of industries. Fiber patch cables are used in:   Medical imaging Mechanical engineering LAN applications Cable TV networks Telephone lines, and More! Fiber patch cables have revolutionized the total network industry of telephones, cable, internet, audio applications, etc. The fiber patch cables offer accurate signal transfer which is totally distortion free. Thus due to these cables the audio or video transmission is ...

by www.fiber-mart.com Choosing your  fiber jumpers  is no easy task. The fiber optic jumper cable you pick can affect how quickly data is transmitted from point to point.   A fiber jumper—more commonly called a fiber patch cord—is a length of fiber cable that connects end devices or network hardware to your structured cabling system. The cable is terminated with LC, SC, MTRJ or ST connectors at each end.   Jumpers come in simplex or duplex and should be chosen based on your network needs. Figuring that part out is as easy as knowing the difference between its and it's when you're writing blog posts.   SIMPLEX VS DUPLEX JUMPERS Simplex cables, a single strand of glass encased in plastic, are generally used when a data transmission needs to travel in only one direction. They're a great choice for connections within buildings or across large areas like cable TV networks.   Duplex cables, two strands of fiber in a single cable, are like a t...

by www.fiber-mart.com There are lots of fiber optical devices used for communication networks. And optical switch is the one transmitting light signals between different channels. If a light signal is propagated from one phone or computer to another, it may be required to move between different fiber paths. Under this condition, optical switch plays an important part as it can transfer the signal with a minimum loss of voice or data quality. With the growth of technologies, many new methods have been combined with optical switch to achieve higher speed performance. Today, let’s step into the world of optical switch and explore its secrets.   Types of Optical Switches Basically, there are two types of optical switches – OEO (optical-electrical-optical) switch and OOO (optical-optical-optical) switch. Network management functions of operating a network are available today using an optical switch with an electronic-based switching matrix. OEO switch receives the optical signa...
