Single-Mode Fibre Optic Cable • Single-Mode Fibre Optic Cable • Multimode fibre cable has multiple modes of propagation—that is, several wavelengths of light are normally used in the fibre core. In contrast, single-mode fibre cable has only on...
Attenuators • Attenuators • Attenuators filter strength of fibre optic signal • Attenuators are used with single-mode fibre optic devices and cable to filter the strength of the fibre optic signal. Depending on the type of attenuator attached ...
The Advantages of Fibre • The Advantages of Fibre • High Bandwidth • Fibre provides greater bandwidth than copper, so it's ideal for data-intensive multimedia applications • Greater Distances • Very little signal loss occurs during transmissio...
Fibre Optic Mode-Conditioning Cable • Fibre Optic Mode-Conditioning Cable • Use Fibre Optic Mode-Conditioning Cable for Gigabit Ethernet longer than 550 meters • You can run Gigabit Ethernet over up to 2-km-long multimode fibre optic cable. Ho...
...vs. Singlemode Fibre • Multimode vs. Singlemode Fibre • Multimode fibre cable has a large-diameter core and therefore has multiple modes of propagation—that is, several wavelengths of light are used in the fibre core. It’s primarily used fo...
Fibre Channel Technology • Fibre Channel Technology • What is Fibre Channel? • Fibre Channel is a set of communication standards designed to provide high-speed data transfer over a duplex, serial interface. It’s an open standard that supports ...
Simplex vs. duplex fiber patch cable • Simplex vs. duplex fibre patch cable. • Multimode and single-mode patch cables can be simplex or duplex. • Simplex has one fibre, while duplex zipcord has two fibres joined with a thin web. Simplex (also k...
...Bend radius • Bending a fibre cable • One of the most important considerations when installing fibre optic cable is maintaining the minimum bend radius. Bending a fibre cable excessively may cause the optical signal to refract and escape through the...
