What should be kept in mind of the test equipment

By niveksuhail

What should be kept in mind of the test equipment is that you should know how to use them and you should always verify them before taking them to the work area. The batteries should be changed or charged, test the reference cables and, most importantly, the user should take a few minutes to refresh his memory on how the instrument is used. The work area is not the place to discover that the equipment is not ready for use. 

Training and security

Fiber optic training

The number one rule of fiber optic installation is never to try to install a new type of component or start a new application without proper training. Not having the knowledge or faculties related to that component or that application makes it impossible to ensure the success of the work and the jobs can be very expensive. In FOA we know many examples of facilities that went wrong and had unfortunate consequences.

No one can know everything or take all possible training courses to cover all aspects of fiber optics, all types of components and applications. However, technology is constantly advancing, which makes it important to continue acquiring knowledge from all available sources. Many of the necessary technical knowledge can be obtained from websites such as the FOA online reference guide, but what about the skills needed to work with the components for installation, troubleshooting, and fiber optic restorations?   These skills can only be acquired through training and practice.

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

By niveksuhail
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

By niveksuhail
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...
