FTTH (fiber to the home) has become increasingly popular in optical communication industry. Fiber optic termination, as one of the topics which have never been out of fashion in this field, has naturally become a focus of FTTH network deployment, especially the indoor termination. In FTTH network, mechanical splice connectors are usually used in FTTH […]

The Ribbon Fiber Optic Cable Options for Local Area Networks and Data Centers
Background Local Area Network (LAN) campus and building backbones as well as Data Center backbones are migrating to higher cabled fiber counts to meet increasing system bandwidth needs. In many cases, Ribbon Fiber Cables are now being deployed to meet this need, as they provide the highest fiber density relative to cable size, maximize use […]
An Introduction of CWDM Fiber Optic Splice Tray
When we talk about CWDM Tray, it means the CWDM splcie tray but not the rack mount “CWDM Tray”. A CWDM splice tray is a fiber optic splice tray that can be integrated with CWDM components (e.g. CWDM MUX). The CWDM tray allows for easy integration in enclosures, wall-mount boxes, or Optical Distribution Frames (ODFs). […]
The Steps of General Cable Management
Labeling Labeling is the most important part of a system administrator’s responsibilities. At any administration point in a cabling infrastructure, including patch panel, accurate labels are essential. These will identify pair modularity and tell technicians where the other end of the cable is terminated. It’s required that labels are visible and durable. They must be […]
Three Options for Your Cable Management
Cable Management is important when it comes to large installations of cabling and wires. If not properly installed or if placed without care wiring, cables can easily become damaged, broken, or kinked causing complications with interruptions in the lines. There are many ways to manage your cabling installations to help create a neat and tidy […]
Best Practice for Fiber Cabling
Patch cables have the potential to be the weakest link in copper and fiber optic network infrastructures. It is essential to follow correct procedures in administration of copper and fiber patch cables to achieve optimum performance and reliability. Applying best practice at every stage will also minimize costs related to moves, adds and changes. The […]
