Fiber Optic is a type of cable made of glass

By Steve Rogers,
Fiber Optic is a type of cable made of glass or very fine plastic, fiber optic cable can transmit light signals from one location to another at high speed using light refraction as its working principle. The light source used is a laser or LED. Fiber optics have become a major component of the telecommunications world.
Optical fiber has a unique working principle, because it does not use an electric current, but instead uses a stream of light that is converted from an electric current so that it will not be disturbed by electromagnetic waves. The constituent material is glass fiber which is useful for getting high light reflection from the mirror so that the data will be transmitted quickly at an unlimited distance.
Fiber optic cable components include:
  1. Core part (Core)
    The core of optical fiber is made of glass material with a very small diameter (diameter about 2 μm to 50 μm). A larger diameter optical fiber will make performance better and more stable.
  2. Cladding Section Cladding
    section is a protective part that directly covers the optical fiber. Usually the size of this cladding is 5 μm in diameter to 250 μm. Cladding is made of silicon, and the composition of the material is different from the core. In addition to protecting the core, cladding also functions as a guide to light waves that reflect all translucent light back to the core.
  3. Coating / Buffer
    Section The coating section is a coat of different optical fibers from cladding and cores. This coating layer is made of elastic plastic material. Coating serves as a protective layer from all physical disturbances that may occur, such as curvature of the cable, humidity in the cable.
  4. Strength Member & Outer Jacket Section
    This layer is a very important part because it is the main protector of a fiber optic cable. The strength member and outer jacket layers are the outer portion of the optical fiber that protects the cable core from various physical interference directly.
The advantages of fiber optic cables include:
  1. High transmission speed (1GB / s) and can reach long distances
  2. Rust resistant
  3. Cable size is small and flexible
  4. Not disturbed by electromagnetic waves and radio
  5. Prevents short circuit because it does not contain electricity
  6. Minimal distortion
With the advantages above, optical fiber is superior to other cables. So it is not strange if this cable is the main choice for large network users and requires a high speed rate.

What Are Backlinks?

By
   Backlinks (also known as “inbound links”, “incoming links” or “one way links”) are links from one website to a page on another website. Google and other major search engines consider backlinks “votes” for a specific page. Pages with a high number of backlinks tend to have high organic search engine rankings. https://plus.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fhoneywebsolutions.com%2F https://plus.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.honeywebsolutions.com%2F https://plus.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fhoneywebsolutions.com%2F https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fhoneywebsolutions.com%2F https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&url=http%3A%2F%2Fhoneywebsolutions.com https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&url=https%3A%2F%2Fhoneywebsolutions.com%2F https://maps.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fhoneywebsolutions.com%2F https://maps.google.com/url?sa=t&url=http%3A%2F%2Fhoneywebsolutions.com https://images.google.de/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fhoneywebsolutions.com%2F https://maps.google.de/url?q=ht...

Public Initiative Networks (RIP)

By Steve Rogers,
Public Initiative Networks (RIP) The France THD plan supports the deployment of RIP when private initiative is not sufficient. This deployment of optical fiber represents 43% of the population and is carried out thanks to a mix mixing several technologies (FTTH, wireless technologies, service of increase in speed). The investment planned for public initiative networks is estimated between 13 and 14 billion euros. This investment is financed half by the operating revenues of the RIPs and the co-financing of private operators. The rest of the funding comes from the State in two forms: Fiber optic testing With an increasingly competitive market, networks must be continuously upgraded and maintained to ensure higher quality and speed of applications and services provided to customers. The constant evolution of broadband systems imposes on the fiber optic infrastructure to be impeccable to support these applications and services. Fiber optics must be further tested to ensure that...

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...
