Optical loss testing of multimode fiber can be affected by many variables, including fiber mismatch, the type and quality of the test reference cords and the launch conditions for launching light into ...

Understanding fiber network requirements and the role of the tools available to test these networks will make testing quicker and more accurate You've just installed ...

Yokogawa has expanded its AQ2200 Multi-Application Test System (MATS) with a range of optical attenuation and switch modules for applications that employ graded-index multimode fiber with a core ...

In its first test of fiber optics, Anixter Levels Lab, Skokie, Ill., found that enhanced 50- and 62.5/125-micron multimode fiber from Corning Cable Systems were able ...

L-com announced that it will stock Advanced FiberSolutions' (AFS) DR-500 series of optical time-domain reflectometers in bothsingle-mode and multimode configurations, as well as other AFS fiber test ...

A previous CommScope blog post discussed the advantages and disadvantages of Angled Physical Contact (APC) and Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) connectors. At that time, the focus was on connectors for ...

I need about 5-10 meters, and the contractor doing the job never worked with fiber before so I need to provide my own pre-terminated cable. What should I look for in something that goes in the wall? I ...

A 90 micron fiber with some of the buffer stripped off. A 1/4-watt resistor is shown for scale. Tiny stuff, and it will draw blood! Since 2003 or so, I have been experimenting with alternative STL ...
