OFS intros optical fibers with 200-micron coating

February 19, 2013 Lightwave Staff OFS has unveiled its AllWave FLEX and AllWave a 200-m coating. The coating enables a narrower fiber will use the fiber in fiber-optic cables with higher fiber 2FX microcables. The thinner coating does not affect the fibers bend bends without weakening fiber strength and long-term FLEX+ Bend-Optimized Single-Mode Fiber that features than those using conventional 250-m coatings. OFS counts and in microcables, beginning with its new MiDia optimization, so the fibers can support tight, low-loss reliability, OFS asserts.

The AllWave FLEX version of the 200-m fiber will bring its space saving benefits, as well as resistance to macrobend and microbend losses, to fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) deployments, enterprise networks, and other applications requiring small bend diameters. It is an ITU-T G.657.A1 fiber. Meanwhile, the AllWave FLEX+ 200-m fiber will benefit in-building and connectivity applications, and offers full compatibility and compliance with the current installed base of conventional ITU-T G.652 singlemode fibers. It also can be used within fiber cables for access networks, including high-density FTTH applications, as well as cell sites, enterprise networks, and similar scenarios. It exceeds both ITU-T G.657-A2 and G.652.D recommendations and International Standard IEC 60793-2-50 specifications, OFS asserts. With the ability to occupy 46% less area than conventional fiber, OFS predicts significant benefits for applications that require more fiber per cable or where conduit or duct space is at a premium. For example, the fibers will enable the MiDia 2FX microcables potentially to reduce fiber-optic network build costs by increasing installation distance, reducing the number of installations, and maximizing the use of congested and limited availability ducts, OFS predicts. MiDia 2FX cable is being presented at the FTTH Council Europes FTTH Conference in London February 20 -21 at stand G18. The cable is generally available

How Fiber Optic Cables Work The traditional method of data transmission over copper cables is accomplished by tra copper conductor. Fiber Optic cables transmit a digital signal via pulses of light thro glass. Fiber strands (the core of the fiber optic cable) are extremely thin, no thicker th is surrounded by a cladding which reflects the light back into the core and eliminate cable.

A fiber optic chain works in the following manner. At the one end, the fiber cable is co The transmitter converts electronic pulses into light pulses and sends the optical sign At the other end, the fiber cable is plugged into a receiver which decodes the optica pulses.

Multimode vs Singlemode Fiber A "mode" in Fiber Optic cable refers to the path in which light travels. Multimode ca diameter than that of singlemode cables. This larger core diameter allows multiple wavelengths of light to be transmitted. Singlemode Duplex cables and Singlemode smaller core diameter and only allow a single wavelength and pathway for light to t commonly used in patch cable applications such as fiber to the desktop or patch pane fiber is available in two sizes, 50 micron and 62.5 micron. Singlemode fiber is typ connections over long lengths and is available in a core diameter of 9 microns (8.3

50 micron vs 62.5 micron fiber Both 50 micron and 62.5 micron fiber optic cables use an LED or laser light source. T same networking applications. The main difference between the two is that 50 micron the bandwidth of 62.5 micron fiber. 50 micron fiber also supports longer cable runs

Infinite cables carriers a complete line of 50 micron, 62.5 micron and 8.3 micro

Simplex vs Duplex Cable Simplex cable consists of a single fiber optic strand. Data is transmitted in only a sin receive. Duplex cable consists of two fiber optic strands side-by-side. One strand goe and the other strand connects receive to transmit. This allows bi-directional commun

Fiber Optic Connectors There are a variety of fiber optic connectors. Below is a common ST SC LC - Also known as SPF, Small Form Factor & Mini Gibic MT-RJ FC VF-45 MIC

Advantages & Disadvantages of Fiber Optic cable There are many advantages and disadvantages in using fiber optic cable instead of co is that fiber cables support longer cable runs than copper. In addition, data is transmi higher bandwidths than over copper cables. The major disadvantages of fiber optic cables are cost and durability. Fiber cables a copper cables and much more delicate.
