Fiber optics are used to transmit light energy over long distances. Optical fibers are thin, transparent strands of optical quality glass or plastic that can be as thin as a strand of hair. This article explains the differences between glass and plastic fiber optics and how to choose the right fiber ... Read More

We have created this page to illustrate the very basic differences between 62.5 and 50/125 multimode fiber in selecting a patch cable for your existing cable plant. The key thing to remember is to always use a patch cable of the same type as the cable that you are connecting to. It is virtually ... Read More

Plenum vs. Non Plenum Fiber Optic Cable Ratings Plenum (CMP) Rated Cable Complies with NFPA-262 and UL-910. Only cable allowed in spaces defined as air plenums such as raised flooring systems and air handling ducts. Plenum cables must self extinguish and not reignite. They also produce less smoke ...

There are two major types buffers : loose and tight, Cross sections of both types are important in cable structures . A loose buffer's inner diameter is much larger than a fiber's outer(coating) diameter. Two major advantages stem from this design: perfect fiber isolation from mechanical forces... Read More

A bare fiber, a core with its cladding surrounded by a coating-is still very sensitive to the adverse environment regardless of how perfect the coating is . Thus , in practice, you will find a fiber only in some protective enclosure, which is called fiber-optic cable, Since optical fiber is the main ... Read More

How to Install Armored Fiber Optic Cable Armored fiber optic cables are designed to provide extra mechanical protection for the inner fiber. They employed two types of cable housing to prevent damage; one is interlocking armor and the other is corrugated armor. The former is an aluminum armor that ... Read More
