Fiber optic cleaning is critical to the performance of optical communication networks. Contamination on a connector end face, even if only at the microscopic level, can create severe problems. Traditional single mode fiber optic core diameters are approximately 9 microns. By comparison, a human hair is 50 microns or larger in diameter. Contamination that blocks the […]

What are the Components of Optical Fiber
What are the components of optical fiber? A typical optical fiber comprises three main components: the core, which carries the light; the cladding, which surrounds the core with a lower refractive index and contains the light; and the coating, which protects the fragile fiber within. Core The core, which carries the light, is the smallest […]
Fiber Connector And Adapter Panel For Optical Links Together
Fiber optic connector is used for the connection of optical fibers or fiber optic cables. The Optical Connectors provide a mechanical connection for the two fiber cables and align both cores precisely. There have been over 100 connectors developed over the years, but a select few have stood the test of time and beat out […]
