2. Flange style fiber optical attenuator;
3. Adjustable fiber optical attenuator (FC style) Attenuation scale:0~30dB;
4. IN-Line style fiber optical attenuator.

Wide range variable & inline fiber optic attenuator
The inline fiber optic attenuators are with more accurate attenuation compared with traditional connector type fiber optic attenuators. What is more, the fiber optic attenuator is with a precision screw set, by turing it, the attenuation range can be varied. And this fiber optical attenuator can be with various terminations on the each side of the cable.

Variable Fiber Optic Attenuators
Fixed value fiber optic attenuators can reduce the power of fiber light at a fixed value loss, for example, a 10dB SC fiber optic attenuator will reduce the optical power 10dB and utilize a SC male to female attenuator. Variable fiber optic attenuators (or adjustable fiber optic attenuator) are with adjustable attenuation range. It usually is inline type, the appearance like fiber optic patch cord; it is with an adjustable component in the middle of the device to change the attenuation level to a certain figure. There are also handheld variable fiber optic attenuators; they are used as test equipment, and we have the inline fiber optic attenuators.

Optical Fiber Cables

22 Apr

An optical fiber cable is a cable containing one or more optical fibers. Optical fiber cable is made of thin reflective tubing that sends light particles that can contain data from one end to the other. The tubing has a mirror-like interior which literally bumps the particle around the microscopic tube until it arrives at its destination. The optical fiber elements are typically individually coated with plastic layers and contained in a protective tube suitable for the environment where the cable will be deployed. Now I am grade to introduce the cable types of Cat5e network cable and outdoor Fiber Optic Cable.
Cat5e network cable
Cat5e network cable (Cat 5) is a twisted pair cable for carrying signals. CAT 5 is an Ethernet network cable standard defined by the Electronic Industries Association and Telecommunications Industry Association (commonly known as EIA/TIA). CAT5 cable contains four pairs of copper wire, which supports Fast Ethernet speeds (up to 100 Mbps). CAT5 is the fifth generation of twisted pair Ethernet technology and the most popular of all twisted pair cables in use today.
Twisted pair cable like CAT5 comes in two main varieties, solid and stranded. Solid CAT5 cable supports longer length runs and works best in fixed wiring configurations like office buildings. Stranded CAT5 cable, on the other hand, is more pliable and better suited for shorter-distance, movable cabling such as on-the-fly patch cabling.
Cat 5 is used in structured cabling for computer networks such as Ethernet. The cable standard provides performance of up to 100 MHz and is suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet), and 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet). Cat 5 is also used to carry other signals such as telephony and video. In some cases, multiple signals can be carried on a single cable; Cat 5 can carry two conventional telephone lines as well as a single 100BASE-TX channel in a single cable or two 100BASE-TX channels in a single cable.
Though newer cable technologies like CAT6 and CAT7 are in development, CAT5 / CAT5e Ethernet cable remains the popular choice for most wired local area networks (LANs), because Ethernet gear is both affordable and supports high speeds.
Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable
Outdoor fiber optic cable is made to protect the optical fiber to operate safely in complicated outdoor environment. Most outdoor fiber cables are loose buffer design, with the strengthen member in the middle of the whole cable, the loose tubes surround the central strength member. Inside the loose tube there is waterproof gel filled, whole cable materials used and gels inside cable between the different components (not only inside loose tube) will help make the whole cable resist of water.
Bulk outdoor fiber optic cable enables pixel-perfect transmission of AV signals over extreme distances and is available as singlemode or laser-optimized multimode fiber optic cables. Singlemode fiber’s low-loss provides extreme performance up to 30 km or 18.75 miles, while laser-optimized multimode fiber is used for moderately long distances up to 2 km. The bend-insensitive fiber design enables a tight bend radius with minimal bending loss to simplify installation.
Fiberstore provides a wide range of optical fiber options so that our customers have the flexibility to choose a cable plant to best fit their needs. Only optical fiber that meets or exceeds industry standards is used to ensure quality products with best-in-class performance. Fiberstore Bulk Fiber Optic Cables are compatible with all Extron FOX Series products. We supply various kinds outdoor use fiber cables including both armored type and not armored type; these cables are competitive on prices and fast delivery.

Optical Communication Definition

22 Apr

Optical communication is the lightwave carrier communication. To increase the bandwidth of the optical path, there are two methods: One is to increase the fiber single-channel transmission rate; second is to increase the number of single fiber transmission wavelength, the fact that the wavelength division multiplexing technology (WDM), optical communication equipment is only suitable in the last few km distance.
Development Status
Optical communication, the technology is mature, while the relative lack of business needs. For example, known as the ultimate goal of  broadband access for FTTH technology EPON is already fully mature, but the ordinary Internet users need high bandwidth, FTTH commercial use only a limited number of pilot areas. However, in 2006, with IPTV and other triple play services to carry out the bandwidth provided by the operators can not meet the requirements of the users of high-definition television, followed by the deployment of FTTH on the agenda. Coincidentally, ASON transport networks and flexible control, provides enterprise customers with personalized services, many operators to develop and maintain corporate customers, and spared no expense to invest in the construction of ASON.
All-Optical Network
The ultimate goal of the transmission network, to build all-optical networks, namely, in the access network, MAN, backbone network, the full realization of the optical fiber transmission instead of copper wires. Of all R & D progress toward the process of this goal.
The backbone network is the highest part of the network speed, distance and capacity requirements of ASON technology used in backbone networks is an important step in the intelligent optical network, the basic idea is the introduction of intelligent control plane in the optical transmission network, which realization of resources according to need. DWDM is also in the backbone network show their skills, the future may be completely replaced by SDH, in order to achieve IPOVERDWDM.
MAN will become the operator to provide bandwidth and services and bottlenecks, and at the same time, MAN will become the largest market opportunities. SDH-based MSTP technology is mature, good compatibility, in particular, is the adoption of new standards such as RPR, GFP, LCAS and MPLS, flexible and effective support for a variety of data services.
Access network, FTTH (fiber to the home) is a long-term ideal solution. FTTx evolutionary path will gradually be fiber to the user to push close to the process, from FTTN (Fiber to the district) to FTTC (fiber to the curb) and FTTB (fiber to the apartment building) and even finally to FTTP (fiber to the premises) . Of course, this is a very long transition period, in this process, fiber access will ADSLADSL2 + coexist.

Spectroscopic Principle of An Optical splitter

18 Apr

Fiber splitter or fiber optic splitter is one of the most important passive devices in the fiber network, an optical fiber having a plurality of inputs and a plurality of output terminals tandem device, commonly used in M × N to indicate a splitter M inputs and N outputs. The optical splitter used in the CATV system, are generally 1 × 2, 1 × 3, and composed of them 1 x N optical splitter. Just the same with the coaxial cable transmission system, in a optical network system, an optic signal of a optical network system also needs to coupled to the branch distribution, which require a important fiber optic passive component – the optical splitter.
Optical splitter can be divided into two types according to the spectroscopic principle: Fused Biconical Taper (FBT) and Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC). FBT splitter is to side fuse two or more fiber together. While the PLC Splitter is a micro-optical components product, which adapt of the lithography, forming an optical waveguide in the medium or on a semiconductor substrate. Basically the two type of fiber splitter share the similar spectroscopic principle. Both of them are coupled to each other by changing the optical fiber between the evanescent field (the degree of coupling, the coupling length) as well as to change the radius of the optical slender to achieve different size branching amount. On the contrary, things that combining multiple optical signals or vice versa into one single can be called Fiber synthesizer.
FTB Coupler
The working principle of FTB method is to fuse two or more optical fiber that without coating layer together by melting them under a high temperature environment, stretching the both sides to form a double cone zonespecial waveguide structured. Different spectral radios can be obtained by controlling the length of the fiber torsion angle and stretched. Finally, pull the cone on the quartz substrate with a curable adhesive curing and insert into a stainless brass. That’s how an FTB coupler formed.
There are some disadvantages of this method. Due to the coefficient of thermal expansion of the curing adhesive with a quartz substrate, the stainless steel tube inconsistencies, the degree of thermal expansion and contraction will be inconsistent when the ambient temperature changes. This is likely to cause damages to the optical splitter, which would become worse if in the wild. This is also the main reason that this fiber optic splitter is easy to get damaged. However, due to the making method of the FBT Coupler is simple, inexpensive, easy to connect to external fiber as a whole, and resistance in for-mechanical vibration and temperature changes, and other advantages, it has become the mainstream manufacturing technology in current the market.
PLC Splitter
The PLC splitter adopted semiconductor production process like photolithography, etching, developing technology and more. Waveguide array is located on the upper surface of the chips, the shunt function is integrated on the chip, which is implemented 1:1 branching on a chip. Then then coupled the multi-channel optical fiber array in the input terminal and output terminal of the chip, respectively, and last encapsulating.
Comparing with FTB coupler, PLC splitter shares some obvious advantages: meeting transmission needs of different wavelengths, compact structure, small size, uniform spectroscopic etc. At the same time, the main drawback of the PLC splitter is the complicated production process while the chip monopoly by several companies, as well as the cost disadvantages versus the FBT splitters.
