Application of FOCL in computer networks

Along with the construction of global communications networks, optical fiber is widely used in the creation of local area networks (LANs).
VIACOM OPTIC, a company engaged in automation and electronic technologies, designs and installs local and backbone Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, FDDI, ATM / SDH networks using optical communication lines. VISCOM OPTIC does this for three reasons. Firstly, it is beneficial. When installing extended network segments, repeaters are not required. Secondly, it is reliable. Optical communication lines have a very low noise level, which allows transmitting information with an error coefficient of not more than 10 ** (- 10). Thirdly, it is promising. Fiber-optic communication lines allow you to increase the computing capabilities of the network without replacing cable communications. To do this, you just need to install faster transmitters and receivers. This is important for those users.
A cable for connecting network segments is inexpensive, but laying it can be the largest cost item for installing a network. The work will require not only cable technicians but also a whole team of builders (plasterers, painters, electricians), which will be expensive, given the increasing cost of manual labor. The main LAN topologies are bus, star, ring. At present, optical fiber is difficult to use in the construction of a common bus, but it is convenient to use it for point-to-point communications used in the star and ring topologies.
The FOCL scheme used, in particular, in a LAN, is arranged as follows:
The electrical signal comes from a network controller that is installed in a workstation or server (for example, an Ethernet network controller), then goes to the transceiver's electrical input (for example, an ISOLAN 3Com optical transceiver), which converts the electrical signal into an optical one. An optical cable (for example, OKG-50-2) is connected to the optical connectors of the transceiver using optical connectors (for example, ST).

One strand of optical fiber is about the diameter of a human hair

As the saying goes, one strand of optical fiber is about the diameter of a human hair.CORNING It’s an amazing idea. Now, copper wires—sometimes called “twisted pair” because they are made of pairs of strands of copper twisted around one another—also carry data and telephone signals to homes and farms in much of rural America. But because of the characteristics of copper as a transmission medium, signals that travel over copper doesn’t have the extraordinary frequency range that light signals do, are subject to interference from other signals, and in general, degrade very quickly over more than a short distance. That’s why if you have a copper-wire DSL (digital subscriber line) subscription, you have to be very close to the phone company’s “central office” to get a download signal into your house. A DSL house is connected to a copper wire, not a fiber-optic cable. fiber optic installer salary Not only can light travel over fiber for hundreds of miles with little attenuation (im...

There are two methods that are used to measure the loss

There are two methods that are used to measure the loss by insertion with a light source and power meter, a "connection cable test", also called "single-end loss", according to the TIA FOTP-171 standard, and a "cable network test installed" or "loss of two ends", according to the TIA OFSTP-14 (multimode) and OFSTP-7 (single mode) standard. The difference between the two tests is that the single loss test end uses only a launch cable and tests only the connector attached to the launch cable plus the fiber and any other component in the cable. The single-end test is mainly used to test connection cables or short cables since you can test each connector individually. The two-end loss check uses a launch cable and a receive cable attached to the meter and measures the loss of the connectors at both ends of the cable under test. The single-end check is generally used in connection cables to be able to test the connectors at each end of an indi...
