THE FOUNDATIONS FOR THE NEXT SOCIETAL AND BUSINESS LEAP Article by: Malik Saadi and Dimitris Mavrakis EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 5G and AI (Artificial Intelligence) are the breakthrough technologies of this decade. The two technologies, each in its own way, are bringing thousands of the most influential and in- novative companies together to build one of the […]

for IoT and M2M Applications Executive summary Single twisted pair ethernet cabling traces its roots back to the late 19th century, when Alexander Graham Bell introduced this technology as a way to transmit voice traffic while overcoming interference. Today, twisted-pair copper continues to play a crucial role in communications. Significantly improved from the first telephone

Technical Information on Connector Performance Singlemode UPC connector UPC stands for hyperphysical contact. It is an improvement on PC fiber optic connector, which has a better surface finish after a long polishing, and a better return loss than PC structure, close to -50dB or higher. Although it has a relatively low back reflection compared to

Technical Information on Connector Performance DESCRIPTION So what is END Face Geometry in Fiber Optics? Abalone connectors and adapters are subjected to reliability and performance testing in a program including type approval and continuous monitoring. When terminated using best practices, typical optical performance meets or exceeds the stated performance and will meet appropriate standards including

Utilization: Fiber Connectors Connect with Adapter Panel The following fiber connector types, such as LC/SC/MTP/MPO/ST fiber optic connectors, require an adapter panel when connecting. Fiber cables with these optical connector types are usually used in data centers, telecom rooms, enterprise networks and so on. LC Connector A Lucent Connector (LC), as one SFF (small form

So what is the difference between Loose Tube and Tight Buffered cables? Fiber optic cables are the lifeline connection of any fiber optic network and act as the main link between network transceivers, and passive network hardware. What they do is carry light signals between various types hardware. Simply put, they form part of the

Article by Dwayne Crawford Ever wonder what the difference is between loose-tube (mini distribution) 250 µm fiber cables and tight buffered 900 µm fiber cables? Loose-tube 250 µm and tight-buffered 900 µm fiber cables actually start with the same 250 µm bare fibers that feature the same size fiber core (i.e., 50 µm for multimode

Author:Brain Teague, MicroCare ProductManagerIndustry:Fiber OpticsPublished:Cabling Installation & Maintenance Improperly cleaned fiber end-faces have operational and financial implications, but can be avoided. Every cable assembly manufacturer strives to produce pristine ferrule end-faces with zero defects. In the real world, this lofty goal is impossible to achieve. Even the best cable assembly manufacturers have an occasional scratch

Why Good Electrical Grounding Is Important? Leave a Comment / Uncategorized / By plugsters THE IMPORTANCE OF ELECTRICAL GROUNDING Good electrical grounding for your electrical systems is critical to protect both persons and equipment from the danger of high voltage and electrical shock. When a conductive surface, like metal, is not grounded and becomes an electrical energizer that can
