One of the biggest revolutions in human history was the start of the use of electromagnetic waves for modern communication. Modern communication means the exchange…

Tape armoring is provided to ensure extra mechanical protection to the fiber optic cables. There are several types of tape materials that can be used for armor. Also, these tapes can be processed and applied in a variety of ways. We will see here a summary of tape armoring options, before that, let us see why tape armoring is preferable for some environments.

Fiber optic closures are used to protect optical fibers in a network. Fiber optic closures are integral part of the network that can be installed…

Fiber optic closures that are called as joint closures are used to connect and store optical fibers of two cables safely either in the outside…

Fiber optic closure can be made of a metallic body and non-metallic body. Also, it could be a combination of metallic and non-metallic elements. In…

ST is the most common fiber optic connector for multimode networks such as those used in buildings and campuses. ST connector has a long cylindrical…

Both Semiconductor Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and Laser Diodes (LDs) are used in optical transmission as light sources. Semiconductor LEDs emit incoherent light, meaning the…

In Optical transmission, coherent light sources have clear advantages over incoherent light sources. The word Coherent means logical or consistent or clear. Incoherent is opposite…
