Over the past decade, single-mode optical fiber has become firmly established as the preferred medium for terrestrial communications. Without the vast data capacity of these types of fiber (practical ...

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 ...

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 ...

Fiber optics is a branch of optical technology that is concerned with the transmission of data as light impulses along a thin flexible glass or plastic fiber. There are two basic types of optical ...

A world record transmission of 1 petabit per second in a multimode optical fiber increases the current record data rate in multimode optical fibers by more than 2.5 times. Wideband optical ...
