According to the transmission mode of light in the fiber: single-mode fiber and multi-mode fiberThe core diameter of the multimode fiber is 50-62.5 μm, the outer diameter of the cladding is 125 μm, the core diameter of the single-mode fiber is directly 9 μm, the outer diameter of the cladding is 125 Read More

Fiber to the Home (FTTH) has started to be taken seriously by telecommunication companies around the world, enabling technologies to develop rapidly. Active optical networks (AON) and passive optical networks (PON) are the two major systems that make FTTH broadband connections possible. PON that can Read More

LightCounting releases an updated Optical Components forecast.The optical communications industry entered 2020 with very strong momentum. Demand for DWDM, Ethernet, and wireless fronthaul connectivity surged at the end of 2019, and major shifts to work-at-home and school-at-home in 2020 and 2021 due Read More

What Is a LAN? Let's start with what a local area network is. LAN stands for Local Area Network, which is a computer network that connects computers in a specific area to each other, such as homes, universities, offices, commercial buildings, laboratories, and pretty much anywhere there are multiple Read More

In optical fiber communication, insertion loss (IL) and return loss(RL) are two important parameters to evaluate the interface quality between some optical fiber components, like fiber patch cables, optical spitters, pigtails, fiber connectors, optical adapters, attenuators, etc.What is Insertion Lo Read More

In today's optical network topology, the appearance of fiber optic splitters is of great significance to help users maximize the performance of optical network circuits. A fiber optic splitter, or sometimes called a beam splitter, is a passive optical element that can split an incoming light beam in Read More

Ethernet cables are the default connection for today's home or business networks connectivity. People always want to buy high-speed Ethernet cables to enjoy high-speed network transmission. But do different ethernet cable speeds actually affect your network? Here, we'll discuss the speeds of the mos Read More

Budget is always one of the most important factor when installing cables. The general impression is that copper cable is cheap and fiber cable is expensive. Indeed it was true in the past few decades. As networks grow, are copper cables really cheaper than fiber optic cables?What's the difference:Co Read More
