Six common materials in fiber optic cable construction

There are mainly six common materials in fiber optic cable construction. Before you buy fiber optic cable, you should think about this. Here are the fiber optic cable materials with the introduction of their features and applications.

1. PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)

Features:
1) Good resistance to environmental effects. Some formulations are rated for -55 to +55.
2) Good flame retardant properties. Can be used for both outdoor and indoor fiber optic cables.
3) PVC is less flexible than PE (Polyethylene) .

2. PE (Polyethylene)

Features:
1) Popular cable jacket material for outdoor fiber cables
2) Very good moisture and weather resistance properties
3) Very good insulator
4) Can be very stiff in colder temperatures
5) If treated with proper chemicals, PE can be flame retardant.

3. Fluoropolymers

Features:
1) Good flame-resistance properties
2) Low smoke properties
3) Good flexibility
4) Most often used for indoor fiber cables

4. Kevlar (Aramid Yarn)
Aramid yarn is the yellow fiber type material found inside cable jacket surrounding the fibers. It can also be used as central strength members.

Features:
1) Aramid yarn is very strong and is used in bundle to protect the fibers.
2) Kevlar is a brand of aramid yarn. Kevlar is often used as the central strength member on fiber cables which must withstand high pulling tension during installation.
3) When Kevlar is placed surrounding the entire cable interior, it provides additional protection for the fibers from the environment.

5. Steel Armor
Steel armor jacket is often used on direct burial outdoor cables and it provides excellent crush resistance and is truly rodent-proof. Since steel is a conductor, steel armored cables have to be properly grounded and loss fiber optic cable’s dielectric advantage.

Applications:
1) Outdoor direct burial cables
2) Fiber cables used for industrial environment where cables are installed without conduits or cable tray protection

Features:
1) Provides excellent crush resistance for outdoor direct burial cables
2) Protects cables from rodent biting
3) Decreases water ingress into the fiber which prolongs the fiber cable’s life expectancy

6. Central Strength Member
For large fiber count cables, a central strength member is often used. The central strength member provides strength and support to the cable. During fiber optic cable installation, pulling eyes should always be attached to the central strength member and never to the fibers. On fiber splice enclosure and patch panel installations, the cable central strength member should be attached to the strength member anchor on the enclosure or patch panel.

SFP Optical Transceiver Modules

SFP package – hot little package module, the highest rate of up to 10G, is mostly used with LC interfaces. SFP is abbreviation of Small Form Pluggable, which can be simply considered as an upgraded version of GBIC. SFP module has half volume of GBIC, only the size of a thumb. It can be configured on the same panel, more than double the number of ports. SFP module has the same other basic functions as GBIC. Some switch vendors said the SFP module is mini GBIC.

SFP modules through the CDR and electronic dispersion compensation on the outside of the module, while the more reduced the size and power consumption. They are used for telecommunications and data communications applications in optical communication. SFP connected network devices such as switches, routers and other equipment motherboards and optical fiber or UTP cables. SFP is also a kind of industry specifications which some fiber optic device providers support. SFP modules support SONET, Gigabit Ethernet, Fiber Channel as well as some other communication standards. This standard extends to SFP+, which can support 10.0 Gbit/s transfer rate, including 8 gigabit Fiber Channel and 10GbE. The introduction of fiber optic and copper versions of the SFP+ module versions, and the module’s XENPAK, X2 or XFP version comparison, SFP+ module will remain in the part of the circuit board to achieve, rather than the module implementation.

SFP transceivers have many different types of transmission and reception, the user can select the appropriate link for each transceiver to provide based on available fiber types (such as multi-mode fiber or single-mode fiber) can reach the optical performance. Available optical SFP modules are generally divided into the following categories: 850nm / 550m distance MMF (SX), 1310nm wavelength / 10 kilometers from the SMF (LX), 1550nm / 40 km distance XD, 80 miles from the ZX, 120 yards from the EX or EZX, and DWDM. SFP transceivers are also available copper interfaces, making the design primarily for fiber optic communication devices are also able to host UTP network cable communication. There are also CWDM SFP and single-fiber “two-way” SFP.

SFP optical module configuration are: lasers (including transmitter TOSA with the receiver ROSA) and board composition IC and external accessories and external accessories, there are housing, base, PCBA, pull ring, clasps, unlock, rubber stopper composition, In order to facilitate the identification generally pull ring color discrimination module parameter type.

In accordance with the rate divided 155M/622M/1.25G/2.125G/4.25G/8G/10G, 155M and 1.25G market is used more, 10G technology is maturing, demand is rising attitude to development. In accordance with the wavelength divided 850nm/1310nm/1550nm/1490nm/1530nm/1610nm, the SFP 850nm wavelength multimode transmission distance 2KM below 1310/1550nm wavelengths for single mode, the transmission distance 2KM above, relatively speaking, this three wavelengths price is cheaper than the other three.

Many people do not know the difference between SFP and SFP+. This sometimes caused unnecessary trouble. 10G module has gone from 300Pin, XENPAK, X2, XFP development, and ultimately with the same size and SFP 10G transmission signal, which is the SFP+. SFP with its compact low cost advantages to meet the equipment needs of high-density optical modules, implemented from 2002 standard to 2010 has replaced 10G XFP and become the mainstream of market.

SFP+ optical modules have these following advantages. First, SFP+ package has the more compact dimensions than than XFP X2 (with the same size as SFP). Second, SFP+ optical modules can be direct connected with XFP, X2 and XENPAK modules which have the same types. Third, the cost ratio is lower than XFP, X2 and XENPAK products.

Working Principle and Characteristics of OTDR

OTDR, the full name of which is Optical Time Domain Reflectometer, is a precise optoelectronic integrated fiber optic test equipment that produced by use of the backscatter during the Rayleigh scattering and Fresnel reflecting in the optical transmission. OTDR tester are widely used for optical cable maintenance and construction, and it can be used for the evaluating the fiber cable length, measuring optical transmission and connection attenuation, detecting the fault location of the fiber links, etc.

During the process of OTDR testing, the instrument inject a higher power laser or fiber optic light source pulse into a fiber from one end of the fiber cable, at the OTDR port to receive the return information. When the optical pulse is transmitted through the fiber, due to the nature of the fiber itself, the connector, the engagement points, bending or other similar event, there will be a scattered reflection. Part of the scattering and reflection will return to the OTDR. Useful information returned will be measured by the OTDR detector, and act as the time or curve segments of fibers at different positions. By recording the time used of the signals from transmission to returning, the transmission speed of the light in the glass fibers, the distance can be calculated.
OTDR testing has some limitation when it come to the applications for measuring the outside able plant loss. The OTDR tester will not be always sufficiently for testing. The OTDR will not work well with short cables in a building or LAN environment. The source and power meter should be used for these tasks as a result of the OTDR is not equipped to show actual cable plant loss.

OTDR use Rayleigh scatting and Fresnel reflection to characterize fibers’ characteristics. Rayleigh scattering refers to the irregular scattering generated when the optical signals transmitting in the fiber. OTDR only measure the scattered light back on the OTDR port. The backscatter signal show the attenuation degree (loss/distance) of the optical fiber, and will be tracked as a downward curve, illustrating the power of backscatter is decreasing, this is because that both transmission signal and backscatter loss are attenuated.

Given the optical parameters, Rayleigh scattering power can be marked, if the wavelength is know, it is proportional with the pulse width of the signal: the longer the pulse width, the stronger backscatter power. Rayleigh scattering power is also related to the wavelength of transmitted signal: the shorter the wavelength, the power is stronger. That is to say, the backscatter loose generated by the trajectory of 1310nm will higher than that of 1550nm signals.

In the higher wavelength region (more than 1500nm), the Rayleigh scattering will continue to decrease, and the other one phenomenon which called infrared attenuation (or absorption) will appear to increase and cause an increase the overall attenuation values. Therefore, 1550nm wavelength is the lowest attenuation, this also explains why it is a long distance communication wavelength. Naturally, these phenomena will return to affect the OTDR. OTDR of 1550nm wavelength is also have low attenuation, so it can be used for long distance testing. While as the high attenuation wavelength 1310nm or 1625nm, OTDR testing distance is bound to be limited, because the test equipment need to test a sharp front in the OTDR trace, and the end of the spikes will quickly fall into the noise area.

Fresnel reflection is discrete reflection, which is caused by the individual point of the whole fibers. These points are caused by a change in reverse coefficient elements such as glass and the air gap. At these points, there will be a strong backscattering light reflected back. Therefore, OTDR is using the information of Fresnel reflection to locate the connection point, fiber optic terminal or breakpoints.

An OTDR tester is essentially an optical radar: it sends out a flash of bright light, and measures the intensity of echo or reflections. This weak signal is averaged to reduce detection noise, and computation is used to display a trace and make a number of mathematical deductions.

There are so many transceivers in FiberStore.Such as SFP Plus transceiver, X2 transceiver, XENPAK transceiver, XFP transceiver, SFP transceiver module (Mini GBIC), GBIC transceiver and so on. But what are fiber optic transceivers do you know? Fiber optic transceiver is a short distance to long distance twisted pair electrical signals and optical signals to be interchanged Ethernet transmission media conversion unit, in many places, also known as media converter. Products are generally used in an Ethernet cable can not be covered, you must use the fiber to extend the transmission distance of the actual network environment, and is usually located in the metropolitan area of broadband access layer applications; while helping the fiber last mile connections to the metro network and more on the outer layer of the network also played a huge role.

In order to ensure the card with other manufacturers, repeaters, hubs and switches and other network equipment is fully compatible fiber optic transceiver products must strictly comply with 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 100Base-FX, IEEE802.3 and IEEE802.3u Ethernet, etc. web standards, in addition, anti-electromagnetic radiation in the EMC aspects should meet FCC Part15. As the major carriers are efforts to build community networks, campus networks and enterprise networks, so the amount of fiber optic transceiver products are constantly improved in order to better meet the access network construction.

Now on the market most of the optical transceiver supports Pluggable, So, today I will show you some common Pluggable fiber optic transceivers type:

Brief Introduction Of Protocol Converter

A protocol converter, referred to as protocol translator, used to convert standard or proprietary protocol of one device to the protocol suitable for the other device or tools to achieve the interoperability, with each protocol based on many factors. It is much like a language translator, translates messages, or data streams, between networks to enable both networks to easily interpret the data. Typical types include E1 to Ethernet, V35 to Ethernet and E1 to V35. Variety protocols used in different fields like Power Generation, Transmission & Distribution, Oil & Gas, Automaton, Utilities, AMR, and Remote Monitoring applications.

Structure Of Protocol Converter
The general architecture of a protocol converter includes an internal master protocol communicating to the external slave devices and the data collected is used to update the internal database of the converter. When the external master requests for data, the internal slave collects data from the database and send it to the external master.

The end result of a protocol converter is to allow the protocol of one machine interact with the protocol of another, increasing the amount of machines the network can use. While the penalties normally are slight, conversion from one protocol to another may slow the connection speed, especially if the converted protocol innately has a lower data rate. Most converters have a database with several protocols, and this database is used to convert the initial protocol to another format.

Different Protocols Of Protocol Converter
The majority of networks have many machines using different protocols, and these protocols dictate how a machine acts. These protocols are determined by several factors, including data rate, encryption methods, file and message formats and associated service, because some services exclusively use one protocol. A protocol converter is tasked with taking this protocol and changing it to another one.

Most protocol converter units are programmed to understand a handful of different protocols, and these units use an internal database to track all the protocols. This database will store all the factors associated with the known protocols, and the database also is tasked with helping this device understand what needs to be changed to alter one protocol to another. Unlike regular databases, which can be manually updated, this database typically is locked from users.

Features Of Protocol Converter
Protocol converters provide physical conversion between ITU-T G.703 standard E1 interface and standard V.35, RS232, RS422 converter, RS485 converter and 10M/100M Ethernet interface, offering security and seamless link for communication between different devices with different interfaces. Protocol supports IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.1 P, 802.1Q (VLAN). The interface converter transfers data with V.35, RS232, RS485, RS422 output. E1 interface is compatible with ITU-T G.703, G.704 and G.823 supporting BNC 75Ω/unbalance impedance and RJ45 120Ω/balance impedance with speed rates range of 64K~2.048Mbps. Single and multi E1 and framed E1 (FE1) channels; data interface and Ethernet interface; mini rack and 19 inch rack; 220V, 110V, 48V power supply or both are optional, as well as TDM over IP devices.

Protocol converter series may put into action the actual transformation in between single E1 protocol port as well as protocol ports of V.35, V.24, RS232 Ethernet converter or Ethernet within the tranny system; it may be thoroughly utilized in numerous being able to access problems with regard to providers as well as commercial clients, for example DDN, ATM, as well as for that transformation in between router and E1 port, or even the actual occasion exactly where Ethernet tend to be interconnected from divided internet websites through SDH or even additional tranny gear.

A protocol converter usually is helpful. Protocols are software installed on the routers, they are widely used in a variety of industries for applications such as building and process automation. Protocol converters also are used for substation automation, or a system for managing and controlling equipment in an electric power system.

How to Choose A Fiber Optic Connector Polisher

Fiber optic polishing machine has made a big progress since 1990s. Earliest connector termination job are done by manual and labor intensive process, fiber connector polishing was manually done by one single person. With the development of fiber optic network, it requires much more higher efficiency. The fiber optic patch cord manufacturers ever make up it by adding more operators but it still could not catch up with the demand. Until emerge of current automatic polishing machine, fiber connector polishing has meet the requirement of high volume, high quality and consistent.

Quality Fiber Connection Termination is very important for the fiber optic communication system. Fiber optic connector polishing is one of the most important steps for the whole process of terminating fiber connector since bad polished connectors will increase the insertion loss and back reflection which will make you malfunction.

Automatic fiber connector polishing machine are produced according to a set of industry standard and specifications. It can produce large volumes of connectors in a consistent way, and it considered to be cost effective as labor is significantly reduced. Article here is written to help you how to make wise decision when choosing a perfect fiber polishing machine for your specific requirement. Flow the standard mentioned below when purchasing an automatic connector polishing machine.

Polishing Machines with Adjustable Pressure are Preferred

The fiber connector’s finished end-face geometry is generated by the combination of the loading pressure and the hardness of the polishing surface. To optimize the connector end-face, the polishing pressure should be adjustable with clearly marked divisions of measurement.

The four corner hold-downs are also important. Hold-down fasteners in all four corners of the connector holder evenly distribute film pressure to minimize off-center polishing. If you use the center pressure from above, it will allow the possibility of wiggling or vibration the connector holder. By this method, you will increase the vertex offset and leads to inconsistent finishes.

Besides, you should also consider the polishing pad. The polishing pad is conjunction with the four corner hold-downs, is used to distribute the pressures evenly across the polishing area. Since the pads are resilient, they will help to control the radius of curvature as the ferrule is pressed into the pad during the polishing process. There are so many pads for different types of connectors, you should choose the proper one according to your need.

Make sure that you can easily change the holders for different types of connectors

To improve the production output and lower labor cost, you should make sure that you can easily and quickly change different types of connector holders. Typical connector polishing machine should be able to handle most types of fiber connectors such as FC/UPC, SC/UPC, ST/UPC, LC/UPC, MU/UPC, APC, MT-RJ, E2000, SMA905, FA and so on. Besides, the precision of the connector holders are also very critical. The connector holders should be machined to exacting tolerances so that ferrules can be precisely posited for the polishing work.

Removable polishing platens are necessary for the machine

Make sure that the polishing platens can be removable, so that it can not be easily contaminated and its working life will prolong. The polishing platens are the mechanical part that holds the polishing films and polish against the connector end-face.

The polishing motion pattern should be optimized for consistent result while conserving polishing films

As we know, the polishing motion is very critical factor in determining connector’s end-face quality. Polishing motion is the surface which performing the polishing job with the connector. The motion must perform a evenly balanced pressure across all sides, otherwise, the connector will surfer deformed end-face geometry.

Choose the manufacture who can fit for your custom requirement

A qualified manufacturer should have the ability to fit for your different specifications for the polishing film types, timer settings, lubrication and connector holders. Besides, an industry standard compliance test report from the manufacturer can be an important criterion to evaluate a good fiber polishing supplier. It is always a best idea to compare at least 3 different models from 3 vendors so you can choose the best one that meets your particular requirement.

FiberStore is specializes in supplying a full range of fiber optic testing, fiber optic splicing, fiber optic cleaning, fiber optic polishing and fiber optic inspection equipments and tools. Contact us for more detail information.

Optical Active Devices Categories Introduction

In fiber optic networks, optical active devices are key components. It can convert electrical signals and optical signals to each other, the optical transmission system of the heart. Optical active devices are divided into the following three categories.

A. Light Source

The device that converts electrical signal into optical signal is called light source. The main light sources are light emitting diodes (LED) and laser diodes (LD).

B. Optical Detector

The device that converts optical signal into electrical signal is called optical detector. The main optical detectors are photodiode and avalanche photodiode.

The optical signal transmitted through the optical fiber reaches the receiving end, the receiving end has a light receiving element signal. But since we know of light has not yet reached the level of awareness of the electricity, so we can not direct the optical signal obtained by reducing the original signal. Between them, there are still one of the optical signals into electrical signals, and then by the electronic circuit to amplify the process, and finally restore the original signal. The reception switching element is called the light detector, or photodetector, short detector, also known as photo-detector or a photodiode. Common optical detector comprising PN photodiodes, PIN photodiodes and avalanche photodiodes (APD). Optical fiber communication systems require optical detector to be high sensitivity, fast response, low noise, stable and reliable.

C. Optical Amplifier

Optical fiber amplifier has become active devices rookie. Erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) has currently a large number of applications , while optical fiber Raman amplifier (FRA) is very promising.

Fiber amplifiers can not only amplify the optical signal directly, but also have real-time, high gain, broadband, online, low-noise, low-loss optical zoom function. They are essential key components in the new generation of fiber optic communication systems.

Since this technology not only solved the attenuation of optical network transmission speed and distance limitations, more importantly, it created a 1550nm band WDM, which can enable ultra high-speed, large-capacity, ultra-long haul wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM), optical transmission, optical soliton transmission becomes a reality. It is epoch-making milestone in the history of optical fiber optic communication development.

In practical optical fiber amplifiers, there are mainly EDFA, semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and FRA, of which the EDFA amplifier with its superior performance is now widely used in long-distance , large capacity, high-speed optical fiber communication systems, access networks, optical fiber CATV networks, military systems in areas such as power amplifiers, repeater amplifiers and preamplifiers. Optical Fiber Amplifier is generally constituted of the gain medium optical fiber amplifier, the pump light input-output coupling structure.

The Best Advantages of Single Mode Fiber

When we talk about the fiber optical cable, you will find two different typs, is used to transmit information. The first type is the multimode cable and the second is the single mode cable. Both of them is the use of light energy in the speed data, but they use a kind of or many kinds of glass fiber to spread it. In this article, you will get enough information on single mode fiber along with some advantages delivered by this cable.

Single-mode is a single stand of glass fiber, usually consisting of 2, with a diameter of 8.3 to 10 microns and has only one mode of transmission, and single mode fiber comes in a 9-microns diameter that suppports Gigabit Ethernet data transfer in up to 10 kilometers in distance. Single-mode, having a relatively smaller diameter than multi-mode, carries higher bandwidth than multi-mode, but requires a light source with a narrow spectral width. Although single-mode fiber costs more than multi-mode, it gives you a higher transmission rate and up to 50 times more distance. The small core virtually eliminates any distortions that could result from overlapping pulses, providing the least signal interruption and the highest transmission speeds of any fiber optic type. You will find some different types of single mode fibers, such as cutoff shifted fiber, dispersion shifted fiber, low water peak fiber, non-zero dispersion shifted fiber, and some other else.

Are given in the best advantage of this particular cable is greater bandwidth capacity to deliver this cale. Therefore, Many people perfer this particular cable than multimode a support for their system. Main purpose in the use of fiber optic cable in the Internet or communication system is to make the top bits of data transmission from the sender to the receiver in fewer errors. You will find that the narrow core of this fiber limits the dispersion of light, which is usually called multi-patch effect. Therefore, the bandwidth capacity of the cable could be increased significantly.

Another advantages given by this certain cable is its ability to be used for longer distances. Therefore, usually this certain cable is used to establish local area network (WAN), metropolitan area network (MAN), the campus network. In addition, they also support the transmission distance at 50 times than multimode fiber. Usually is to use a SMF for remote data transmission. On single mode fiber, the light s usually 1300nm for shorter distances and 1500 for longer distances. Then, the light into the core of some of the fibers in parallel, and multimode, let light into from all angles and direction. The single-entry mode offered by SMF also limits the dispersion of light, so it could eliminate the data waste as well as increase the speeds of the data transmission. In addition, the cable is also immune to any external noise in single mode type, such as electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).

Those are some advantages of single mode fiber cable for your communication or network system. You can surely add this certain cable for your needs.

To support your system, you can provide great quality of connector to get better data transmission. There are several fiber optic connector types that you can find in the market.

Crimping Tool Types And Operation

The crimping tool is used for creating a joint between two metal pieces or other materials with good malleability. The joint formed by crimping needs to be strong to ensure that the application works properly. Crimping tools are available in different types to support various types of applications. FiberStore is a good crimping tools supplier.  We provide many types of crimping tools in all possible varieties so that the purchasers are able to make the right choice while being in our store.

For example, the structured cabling system lays stress on following the practices which will add elegance, discipline, method and reliability to cabling. The tools which are used in installation of a cabling system go a long way in and can sustain extensive use in the field. Modular Crimping Tool can be used to crimp RJ-45(related products: rj45 plug) and RJ-11 types of fiber connectors. It is a highly compact and rugged tool and is meant for continuous use in the field. The parallel action design maintains accurate.

Hand operated crimpers are the most frequently used of all crimping tool types. Most are designed in a basic plier pattern with one or a number of crimping points machined into their jaws. This type of tool is typically used to effect smaller crimps on steel cables, electrical connections and terminations, preinsulated lugs and ferrules, and RJ type plugs. The crimp points on hand crimpers are either half round compression or cup and tab crimp type designs. This type of crimper is generally used to crimp steel or copper ferrules or sleeves to join two lengths of steel or electrical cable.

Types of Crimping Tools

First and foremost, you must offer these them manufactured in different types. Different customers might come and ask for a specific type. learn about different types of tools used for crimping form the below list:

1.Cable tie tools are the crimping tools used to tighten the ties around the bundles of wires or cables.
2.Compression crimp tools are used for terminating twisted-pair modular plugs and coaxial compression connectors.
3.RJ45 crimp tools are used for crimping the wires of various connectors like RJ45, RJ-11, RJ-12 and so on.
4.Point to cup tools are used with round section crimp sleeves. Besides, there are cup to cup tools available in different varieties like standard duty tool, heavy duty tool and bench press tool.

Crimp Tool Operation

A crimping tool is an essential part of the crimping process, the other parts being the terminal and wire. Terminal size is largely universal and can accept many sizes of gauged wire, which can also vary widely within the same nominative value. As such, the crimp tool is a means of compressing the terminal to both the wire’s insulation (for positioning) and the wire’s brush (for conduction).

The quality of the tooling determines the quality of the crimp design. Common considerations include if the volume of crimping deserves an automated wire stripping and process machine, or if the application is better suited by an on-site, handheld crimping tool. Many tools will have two crimping cavities to properly roll the terminal’s crimps, and possibly more if there are two conductors in the wire. Some crimp tools will feature several gauge sizes and possibly a stripper to enhance the crimper’s utility. Crimp tools may also feature interchangeable dies. Die-less crimpers are meant for general applications.
