by www.fiber-mart.com Fiber optic joints or termination is a necessary process when installing a network. Every network operators who aim to deploy a next-generation fiber network have to determine how to build a flexible, reliable and long-lasting infrastructure at the lowest possible cost. In general, there are mainly two fiber optic termination methods: splices which create a permanent joint between the two fibers, or connectors that mate two fibers to create a temporary joint. When people decide to use either method, many factors should be taken into account. Today’s article will evaluate both methods from the aspect of cost to help you choose the effective termination method.   Weighting the Two Methods Besides the features of low loss, minimal reflectance and high mechanical strength, fiber optic termination must be compatible to the environment in which they are installed. Before we come to the cost comparison of these two termination methods, let’s firstly have a b...

Many businesses, especially those which depend on high data usage and transmission, have been switching their cabling over to fiber optic cables as they realize all the benefits provided by fiber optic technology. Apart from the nature of business and its built-in appetite for data, another reason for this trend is due to the increasing demands placed on companies undergoing growth – which naturally elevates the demand for data usage as well. Here are some of the benefits offered by fiber optic cables which make them so appealing.   5 Reasons Why Businesses are Making the Switch to Fiber Optic Cables Overall cost   There might be a slightly higher initial cost associated with installing fiber optic cables, but in the long run, the investment pays off in spades. Because it is more durable, more functional, and requires less ongoing maintenance, fiber optics can end up being the most cost-effective approach for many companies.   Physical size   Perfo...

1 meter FC-FC Duplex 9/125  Single-mode Fiber Patch Cable  send one light signal at a time, and can be used for longer runs than multimode because they have more resistance to attenuation.   The core of a single mode fiber optic cable is 9/125μ (micron). Single mode fiber optic patch cables can support gigabit ethernet applications for up to 10 kilometers.   1 meter FC-FC  Duplex 9/125 Single-mode Fiber Patch Cable  Key Features a variety of custom Simplex, Duplex and Mini Zip, single mode (SM) and multi mode (MM) Fiber Patch Cords and Fiber pigtail assemblies with various types of Fiber Connectors including ST, FC, SC, LC, MU, MTRJ, E2000 …etc.,. that could be built to your specification.

Fiber optic cables  provide a reliable and fast method of data transfer. However, it’s simply impossible to make a single fiber long enough to match the length of cable necessary for most networks. This is where  fiber fusion splicing  comes into play, which is a technique of making fiber joints by fusing fiber ends together, forming a single long fiber. Fusion splicing is a permanent, low-loss, high-strength joint, Fusion splicing your fiber optic cables by using a fusion splicer will give you the length you need. The principle of fusion splicing is that the two bare fiber ends (coatings removed with a fiber cleaver) are fused together under the influence of heat. More precisely, the fiber ends are initially brought in close contact, with a small gap in between. After heating them for a short while such that the surfaces melt, they are pushed together, such that the ends fuse together. Fusion splicer is needed during Fusion splicing. It is a high precision piece o...
