Inspections, tests and continuous corrections

By Steve Rogers,
Both inspections and tests of the installed cable network should not be left by the end of the project. Through constant tests during installation, problems, such as cable tension and high termination losses, can be detected and solved before they are extended. At the time of testing, each installer must use the documentation with the estimated optical loss calculations and acceptable losses to evaluate the test results. All installers should review their work with each other to ensure final quality.

What to do when something goes wrong? When faced with a problem, it is obvious that the one who has the responsibility to quickly decide if he can take care of the problem is the supervisor who is in place. If you can't, you should know who to call to go to the problem site and who to notify. A regular review of the progress of the project can minimize interruptions.

 Equipment failures may delay progress. However, if for example there is a problem in a fiber optic fuser, other parts of the project, such as cable routing, can continue until the fault is resolved and the splicing can be resumed. An experienced installer should check for termination problems. To fix them, new supplies may be needed, as well as a second overhaul by another experienced installer. When such problems arise, do not hesitate to contact the service provider.

At the end of the installation, all the personnel involved must meet, review the results of the project, update the information and decide if there are any additional steps that must be taken before the project is concluded.

If we detect N photons from a coherent state of light for a measurement,

By Steve Rogers,
Short answer: A good order of magnitude rule of thumb for the maximum possible bandwidth of an optical fibre channel is about 1 petabit per second per optical mode. So a "single" mode fibre (fibre with one bound eigenfield) actually has in theory two such channels, one for each polarisation state of the bound eigenfield. I'll just concentrate on the theoretical capacity of a single, long-haul fibre; see roadrunner66's answer for discussion of the branching in an optical network. The fundamental limits always get down to a question of signal to noise in the measurement (i.e. demodulation by the receiver circuit). The one, fundamentally anavoidable, noise source on a fibre link is quantum shot noise, so I'll concentrate on that. Therefore, what follows will apply to a short fibre: other noise sources (such as Raman, amplified spontaneous emission from in-line optical amplifiers, Rayleigh scattering, Brillouin scattering) tend to become significant roughly in pro

ingle-mode fiber uses only one mode of light to propagate

By Steve Rogers,
Single-mode fiber uses only one mode of light to propagate through the fiber-optic core. In single-mode fiber-optic cabling, the core is considerably smaller (8 to 10 microns) in diameter. A 9/125 optical fiber indicates that the core fiber has a diameter of 9 microns and the surrounding cladding is 125 microns in diameter. The core in single-mode fiber is only approximately 10 times larger than the wavelength of the light it is carrying. This leaves very little room for the light to bounce around. As a result the data carrying light pulses in single-mode fiber are essentially transmitted in a straight line through the core. Typically single-mode uses a laser light source, which is more expensive to produce, requires higher levels of safety awareness, and can transmit data further than multimode. Single-mode (such as a 9/125) can carry data up to 3000 meters (9,840 ft.) according to the existing standard (note that the standard in this case may not reflect the physical limitation)

Copper, fiber or wireless network?

By Steve Rogers,
While for decades the debate about which one is better (copper, fiber or wireless network), increased interest in discussing wiring, it is now becoming irrelevant.  In communications technology and the end-user market, it seems, it has already been decided that, in general terms, the transmission media and many networks must combine all three.  Currently, for the designer of wiring networks, especially fiber optic networks, and for their clients, the task of deciding which means to use once the communication systems were chosen is very simple. Long-distance and external plant Almost all telephony system cables are fiber optic, except telecommunications systems that still use copper for the final connection to the home.  CATV companies use a high-performance coaxial cable inside homes, but it connects to a  fiber optic  backbone  network .  Backbone (  backbone  ) Internet consists of fiber in its entirety.  Most commercial buildings that are in heavily populated areas receive d
