What is Fiber Optic Coupler?

March 30, 2012

Fiber optic couplers are optical devices that connect three or more fiber ends, dividing one input between two or more outputs, or combining two or more inputs into one output.

What is PLC Splitter?

March 30, 2012

PLC Splitter (Planar waveguide Circuit optical splitter) are developed using silica glass waveguide circuits and aligned fiber pigtails, integrated inside a miniature package. PLC splitters provide low-cost solution for optical signal distribution, with small form factor and superb reliability. They are designed for FTTx Passive Optical Networks, CWDM, DWDM and optical cable TV System.

What is Bare Fiber Adapter?

March 29, 2012

Bare fiber adapters are used as the medium to link the bare optical fiber to fiber optic equipment. They have the bare  fiber inside on one side; the other side of the Adapter is a fiber connector that can plug into the equipment.

What is MPO Fiber Patch Cord?

March 29, 2012

MPO patch cord (Ribbon fan out Fiber patchcord, Ribbon mliti cable fan out) use MTP and MPO multi fiber type connectors, each one of the connector are used with ribbon type fiber optic cables which contain multi fiber in one single jacket, so that MPO Fiber Patch Cord greatly save space and are very convenient to use. Based on single ferrule MT technology, the MPO Fiber Patch Cord assemblies provide up to 72 fiber connections in a single point, reducing the physical space and labor requirement, while providing the same bandwidth capacity of a multi-fiber cable with individual fiber connector terminations per cable.

What is Loopback Fiber Patch Cord?

March 29, 2012

Loopback fiber patch cord (Loopback fiber cable) provides a media of return path for a signal, whether the signal is for testing purposes or due to network restoration. Loopback fiber patch cord can be regarded to be the two connectors on the same piece of simplex fiber optic patch cable put together, thus it forms a loop.  In the case of testing, the loopback signal is used for diagnosing a problem. Sending a loopback test to network equipment, one at a time, is a technique for isolating a problem. Its performance is as good as that of a general patch cord.

What is Mode Conditioning Cable?

March 29, 2012

Mode Conditioning Cables (Gigabit Launch cables or Master Cable) are designed for Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-LX network and other applications where both Single-mode and Multi-mode interconnects needed. Mode conditioning cables are used typically when you want to run Gigabit Ethernet (LX) over some multi mode fiber optic plant.
