What jacket do you need?

What jacket do you need?

Our duplex cable typically comes in a basic zip-cord style where the two fibers are in their own jackets and those two jackets are seamed together.  You can also get round jacket cable where multiple cables are run inside a single round jacket, often with reinforcers running through it.

If you are going to be running the cable outdoors or in a conduit where it may be exposed to moisture you will need an Outdoor rated cable.

If the cable is going to be abused in any way, including running along the ground where it might be stepped on or used in a way where it'll be unwound and wound back up repeatedly, armored cable may be required. 

If you want a cable that can be run over by a tank, just mention it, we have something that can handle tanks.

If the cable is in a plenum space, you may need a cable that is plenum rated.  Plenum is an air space above multiple rooms. For instance, in office buildings, it's not unusual for the walls of rooms to only go up as high as the drop ceiling.  If you pop your head above the ceiling, you'll see across many walls and see the ceilings of many rooms.  That area is a plenum area where multiple rooms share a common overhead air space.  The rules for using plenum vary based on local building codes.

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...

Design of the checklist of optic fiber network

The support person should also be involved to the point that he can answer most questions. You may even have more technical knowledge about the project, but you cannot have full authority to make decisions. In large projects, this person may be the one who keeps the documentation and the schedules, the one who keeps track of purchases and deliveries, permits, subcontractors, among other things, while the project manager plays a more role Practical and active Design of the checklist Planning a project is essential for it to be successful. The best way is to prepare a checklist before beginning the design process. The list below is exhaustive, but each project will have some unique requirements that will be it's own and should be added. It is not necessary that all steps be performed in a series. Some can be done in parallel to reduce the design time of the project. During the design of a project, the designer must communicate with several people and companies. Therefore contact...
