Fiber: labor shortage slows deployment of THD

By Steve Rogers,
Technology: If the lights are green for the deployment of very high speed in France, the shortage of labor in the penalized sector is still a question. The imminent signing of a strategic sector contract must change the situation.
Fiber: labor shortage slows deployment of THD

"The deployment of very high speed in France is perhaps the largest industrial project at the moment," noted Orange France president Fabienne Dulac a few weeks ago. The fact remains that, like any site, equipping France with very high speed is at the mercy of a set of factors that sometimes exceed it.

If all the lights seem to have gone green when it comes to the network deployment rate, which will probably reach - or even exceed - the 4 million mark at the end of the year, professionals in the sector are now raising a concern which turns into a leitmotif. This concerns the employment front, while candidates for the design or deployment of the fiber network are not jostling particularly at the door of manufacturers who are more and more worried about this.

"There is a tension of resources in France: despite the efforts we have made in anticipating the training, there is still a shortage of 10 to 15% of technicians and resources to be comfortable in the deployment of fiber in France and I do not speaks not only for Orange but for the entire sector ", recognized the patron of Orange France during a meeting with the press held in early September.

The most popular method and the method required in TIA-568

By Steve Rogers,
Choice of the reference method Some reference books and manuals show that to establish the reference power for loss, only a reference launch cable, launch and reception cable connected with a coupling adapter or even three reference cables is used.  In fact, industry standards include all three methods to establish a "0dB loss" reference.  The two or three-wire reference methods are acceptable for some tests and are the only way you can test some connectors, but it will reduce the loss you measure in the amount of loss between your reference wires when you set your "  You could start the test with faulty launch wires, which would cause all loss measurements to be incorrect.  This means that the inspection and testing of the reference cables are very important, in order to ensure that they are in good condition.  You could start the test with faulty launch wires, which would cause all loss measurements to be incorrect.  This means that the inspection and...

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...

The cable types, the cable network hardware

By Steve Rogers,
The ways to build the OSP cables are specifically oriented to the strength of the cable, depending on whether they are buried directly or inside conductors, located underwater, or installed in the air on poles. The proper way for cable routing must be chosen. In some installations, several types of cable are even used. Having good construction plans can be useful when working with cable manufacturers to find the right types of cables and request sufficient quantities. You should always request more cable than is needed for the length of the path, in order to be able to store the service cable in the form of a loop, prepare the termination of the cable and save what you need in case it is necessary to Make a repair in the future. As well as the cable types, the cable network hardware types are very diverse and should be chosen in a way that is compatible with the cable types used. With so many hardware options, working with cable manufacturers is the most expeditious way to choose ha...
