Light Budget is one of the key items for designing fiber optic network. in order to create a product that will meet application requirements. To adequately characterize the budget loss, the following key parameters are generally considered: Transmitter: Output power, temperature and aging Fiber connections: Active connection and splices Fiber Cable: fiber attenuation and temperature effect Receiver: Detector […]

ITU T G 652 Fiber Link Design consideration
A concatenated link usually includes a number of spliced factory lengths of optical fibre cable. The requirements for factory lengths are given in clauses 5 and 6. The transmission parameters for concatenated links must take into account not only the performance of the individual cable lengths but also the statistics of concatenation. The transmission characteristics […]
Standard Specification for ITU G 652 Optical Fiber
Recommendation ITU-T G.652 describes the geometrical, mechanical and transmission attributes of a single-mode optical fibre and cable which has zero-dispersion wavelength around 1310 nm. The ITU-T G.652 fibre was originally optimized for use in the 1310 nm wavelength region, but can also be used in the 1550 nm region. This is the latest revision of […]
How to use fiber optic stripper
Warning:Never use this tool on live electrical circuits; it is not insulated against electrical shock. Always use OSHA/ANSI or other industry approved eye protection when using tools. This is not to be used for purposes other than intended. Please read and understand instructions before operating this tool. Fiber Optic Stripper Introduction FO 103-Sis for stripping […]
Splice loss increase: Reason and solution
Note: A vertical line sometimes appears at the splice point when MM fibers, or dissimilar fibers (different diameters) are spliced. This does not affect splice quality, such as splice loss or tensile strength.
IFS-10 Fusion Splicer Trouble Shooting
IFS-10 Fusion Splicer Troubleshooting Power supply • Power does not turn off when pressing ⊙: Press and hold the key until the LED color changes from green to red. • Few splices can be made with a fully charged battery pack: •If the power saving function is not enabled, battery power degrades faster. Refer to […]

Preparing the splicer 2. Preparing the fiber 3. How to make a splice 4. How to check […]
Loose Tube Vs. Ribbon Fiber Cabling
Making the Right Fiber Cable Choice can Improve Overall Performance of Distribution Cables in the PON In the distribution portion of the passive optical network (PON) for fiber-tothe-premise (FTTP) architectures, the choice of fiber cabling – ribbon vs. loose tube – can directly impact ease of installation and future performance. As is usually the case […]
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM)
WDM Introduction WDM dramatically expands the total capacity of an optical network by enabling a large number of independent wavelength channels to travel within the same network. This core technology allows network capacity to be gradually and cost effectively increased while flexibly allowing multiple generations of transmission technologies to be supported on the same network […]
M2M Evolution Week in Review: IBM, Harris Poll, Konekt
It’s a short week here at M2M Evolution, but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been exciting. We had lead stories on some amazing battery technology, a sweet IoT DIY Kickstarter campaign, bionic ants and an update on IBM’s $3 billion bet on M2M, to name just a few. Let’s start with the big dollar figure. […]
