Artificial intelligence and the rise of optical computing

Artificial intelligence and the rise of optical computing Optical computing is a revolutionary technology that has the potential to change the way we think about computation. Unlike traditional computers, which use electrical signals to perform calculations, optical computing uses light. This allows for a much higher frequency of data processing, [...]

Polarity Validation for MTP/MPO Cables

Polarity Validation for MTP/MPO Cables Polarity specifies the direction in which the optical signal travels from one end of the fiber optic cable to the other. For MTP/MPO patch cords, polarity is especially important. When deploying MTP/MPO cables, polarity testing and validation are required to ensure proper data transmission. This article [...]

Components and Operational Considerations regarding Fiber Polarity

Fiber Polarity The various components play distinctly different roles in cable connectivity. When connecting these components, how they interact requires attention to achieve proper polarity. This article focuses on how these components interact with each other and operational considerations regarding polarity methods to build a viable cabling system. Connectivity Methods of [...]

What Is Armored Fiber Cable

Armored Fiber Cable As is known, armored fiber cable can provide extra protection for fiber optic cable without sacrificing flexibility or functionality within fiber networks, featuring more robust and reliable when encountered with rodents, moisture, and other issues that may cause damage. The armored fiber cable is now optimal for campus & [...]

How to Identify the Fiber Color Code

Identify the Fiber Color Code We have been using different types of fiber optic cable in labs and data centers for years. It is not unusual for a green hand to mix up the 50/125 and 62.5/125 multimode fibers, or the single mode fibers, not to mention the multi-fiber cables that may [...]

Most suitable fiber optic cable to your needs

most suitable fiber optic cable to your needs The optical cable is generally the first equipment that telecom operators, network installers, integrators or local authorities have at their disposal to start a fibre optic deployment site. The cable’s construction, dimensions and overall performances are some of the criteria with a [...]

How to minimise insertion loss in optical fiber connections

minimise insertion loss in optical fiber connections Optical fiber is everywhere in the world, from home broadband and telecommunications to the undersea cables that connect continents together. Billions of people across the world now rely on these networks of silica strands to make communication and access to information instantaneous, cost-effective [...]

A Look at Splicing Methods: Types, Advantages and Disadvantages

A Look at Splicing Methods The FTTH industry has grown exponentially in recent years, leading to changes in the ways that networks are being deployed, and the methods used to patch fiber optic cables. Technological evolution now enables successful fiber connections in most environments, but there remain differences between the [...]

Five reasons connectors are better than hardwiring

connectors are better than hardwiring Anyone who designs or builds industrial machinery or consumer devices will be confronted with a choice either to “hardwire” cables point-to-point into the system or to use “plug and play” connectors. Although each manufacturer has their own preference, a good case can be made for [...]
