An Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer or OTDR is a sophisticated test instrument used to probe the characteristics of long optical fibers.…
Fiber optic cable testing is done to ensure all installed cable lengths and connectors are functioning properly.
One of the most popular styles of single-fiber connector is the so-called “ST” style, which uses a quarter-turn locking barrel…
In any sort of waveguide – optical, electrical, or even acoustical (sound) – the signal energy may be able to…
Fiber Optic Sensing Applications Optical fibers find applications beyond electronic data cable replacement, though, which means they will be a…
Communication-grade optical fibers are manufactured from fused silica (SiO2) glass of exceptional purity. A single strand of optical fiber made…
An optical fiber is a “pipe” through which light flows. This is, of course, merely an analogy for how an…
