SUMITOMO Fusion Splicer Trouble Shooting

For repair and technical support, contact maintenance service center address described in the back cover. Arc problems The electrodes typically need replacement after 1000 splices. Some common symptoms that indicate the electrodes need replacing are: Fluttering or unstable arc observed on the monitor Sizzling noise while arcing Bubbles in the fibers after splicing Fiber burned […]

Important tips for using fusion splicer

Read this before using the fusion splicer Fusion Splicer Setting Up 1. This fusion splicer performs an arc discharge. Do not use the splicer in a hazardous location in which inflammable gas can generate or only electrical apparatus for explosive gas atmosphere can be used. 2. Never use spray cleaners such as Freon or Flammable […]

Troubleshooting Coherent Optical Communication Systems

Overview Implementers of Optical Networks today face challenges to generate and characterize scalable, digital, coherent signals beyond On-Off Keying. Additional approaches such as quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK), mQAM, OFDM, and other IQ modulation formats should be considered. In this webcast, sponsored by Keysight Technologies, you will learn troubleshooting techniques in Coherent Optical Communications with measurements […]

Generación de calor en mazos de cables

La transmisión de energía a través de un sistema de cableado genérico provoca un incremento de los niveles de temperatura dentro de los cables. El aumento de temperatura depende del volumen de energía transmitido, el corte transversal del conductor y el aislamiento térmico alrededor del mazo. Los cables en el centro de un mazo se […]

Optical fiber cable

Optical fiber cable introduction from WIKI An optical fiber cable is a cable containing one or more optical fibers that are used to carry light. The optical fiber elements are typically individually coated with plastic layers and contained in a protective tube suitable for the environment where the cable will be deployed. Different types of […]

fibre network and copper network comparison

fibre and copper for data transmission network In terms of the physical infrastructure mediums the main choice is between a copper or fibre based system. So, which is the best to install? Like all good, simple questions, the route to the answer is a little more complicated. Historically, fibre was used in the backbone and […]
