What is a Fibre Array? A fibre array is an array formed by mounting a bundle of fibres or a strip of fibres on a substrate at specified intervals using a V-groove substrate. Typically, such an array i

Introduction Ethernet technology has changed our world and our lives. As of today, Ethernet is the dominant networking protocol. By far, Ethernet has the largest number of active ports installed of an

Single- mode cable is a cable with a single strand of optical glass fibre with diameter of 8.3 to 10 microns. Compared to multi-mode fibres, the light is narrower and has a higher bandwidth. Compared

Introduction We always turn to optical fibres when it comes to meeting our high bandwidth networking needs. In general, not many people are aware of the existence of plastic optical fibre. Glass fibre

Introduction Fibre optic patch cords is a commonly used equipment connection accessory in the world of optical communication. Its importance in fibre optic transmission cabling should not be understat

Introduction Fibre optic termination is the connection of optical fibres or wires to equipment (e.g. wall sockets or devices), which allows the connection of cables to other cables or devices. The pur

Introduction As we all know, different colours of the outer jacket of a fibre patch cord represent different types of fibre optic patch cord. Are you often confused as to how to distinguish a fibre pa

Introduction A fibre adaptor enables the precise connection of two connectors and ensures that the maximum optical sources are transmitted with the lowest possible loss. It is mainly used for connecti

Introduction Based on the number of fibre cores, we can classify fibre optic patch cords into simplex fibre optic and duplex fibre optic, as shown in the picture. A simplex fibre optic usually consist

Introduction Before discussing PC, UPC and APC fibre connectors, it should be known that the two end faces of the fibre must be precisely connected in order to maximise coupling of the fibre light out

Introduction There are various fibre ports used in fibre optical communication. Maybe SC, LC, ST and FC are the most common types of fibre connectors you may encounter in daily life. They’re frequentl

Background Information Optical fibre is a fine and flexible medium for transmitting light beams. In the process of high-speed network development, optical fibre is widely used in the field of fibre op
