Why Use a Patch Panel?
To take advantage of the fast Internet now available in most homes and businesses, a wired network often will allow you to achieve speeds much closer to the promised maximum. If you want to set up a wired network that includes multiple wall ports in various rooms, a patch panel in a central location can provide a simple, neat and easy-to-manage solution. The definition, type,... -
Bend Radius—How It Can Impact Your Cable Performance?
How much can fiber optic cable bend? How Fragile are Fiber Optic Cables? These issues are what users care about when deploying fiber patch cables. Moreover, if you want to keep the cables as organized as possible to allow for easier servicing of the rack equipment in the future and also want to keep things organized to save space and maintain good airflow within the... -
Fiber Connector Types - LC vs SC vs FC vs ST vs MTP vs MPO vs MDC vs Rugged
In fiber optical telecommunication, there are various fiber optic connectors, such as MDC, SC, LC, FC, MU, ST, MPO, MTP and rugged fiber optic connectors types like Fullaxs and ODC connector. How to choose them for your Data Center, FTTH or FTTA Cabling Connectivity? LightOptics make a comparision here for you. SC Fiber Connectors SC refers to the Square Connector or Standard Connector. SC is arguably the... -
Difference Between Multimode Fiber Types: OM1 vs OM2 vs OM3 vs OM4 vs OM5
Multimode fiber is a common choice to achieve 10 Gbit/s speed over distances required by LAN enterprise and data center applications. Multimode and single-mode optical fiber cables are two different cable types in optical networking. Using a larger core size, multimode fiber cable allows multiple light signals to be transmitted in a single fiber over short distances. Multimode fiber systems offer flexible, reliable and... -
Fiber Optic Pigtail: Types and How to Splice It?
In fiber optic cable installation, how cables are attached to the system is vital to the success of network. If done properly, optical signals would pass through the link with low attenuation and little return loss. What is Fiber Optic Pigtail? A fiber pigtail is a single, short, usually tight-buffered fiber optic cable with a factory-installed connector on one end, and un-terminated fiber on... -
Simplex vs Duplex Fiber Optic Cables
Simplex vs duplex fiber optic cables what are they different? It is known to all that fiber optic cable is made of glass or plastic that mainly used for transmitting information. Fiber optic cable can be divided into many types according to different classification principles, such as source, mode, usages etc. Different kinds of fiber optic patch cables have different applications. This paper will focus on... -
Quick View about Armored Fiber Cable
Tired of broken fiber optic patch cords? Micro Armor Fiber Cable is the ideal optical for you, never break a patch cord again! As is known, armored fiber cable can provide extra protection for fiber optic cable without sacrificing flexibility or functionality within fiber networks, featuring more robust and reliable when encountered with rodents, moisture, and other issues that may cause damage. The armored fiber cable is now optimal... -
Fiber Optic Cable Types: Single Mode vs Multimode Fiber Cable
Single Mode and multimode Fiber Cable, both these types of optical fibers have their own attributes and are used as per the specific requirements. The differences between single mode and multimode fiber optic cable mainly lie in fiber core diameter, wavelength & light source, bandwidth, color sheath, distance and cost. An optical fiber consists of a core surrounded by cladding where the core is... -
What is Fiber Optic Adapter (Coupler) ?
Fiber optic adapter (also called coupler) is a small device that used to terminate or link the fiber optic cables or fiber optic connectors between two fiber optic lines. They designed to connect two optical cables together and come in versions to connect single fibers together (simplex), two fibers together (duplex), or sometimes four fibers together (quad). The optical fiber adapter can be inserted into different... -
Copper Cable vs Fiber Optic Cable Price, Is the Copper Really Cheaper?
Budget is always the most direct choice factor when installing cables. Copper cable vs fiber optic cable price, it’s true that the popular impression is that copper is cheap, fiber is expensive. Well, at a certain period in the past decades, it’s true. However, today with the development of networking, is copper cabling really cheaper than fiber optic cabling? Copper vs Fiber: What’s the...
