How much do you know about fiber loss?

Do you know how to calculate it? In fiber optic installation, accurate measurement and calculation of fiber optic links are very important steps to verify network integrity and ensure network performance. Optical fiber will cause obvious signal loss (i.e. fiber loss) due to light absorption and scattering, which affects the reliability of the optical transmission network. So how can we know the loss value on the fiber link? This article will teach you how to calculate the loss in a fiber optic link and how to judge the performance of a fiber optic link. Type of fiber loss Optical fiber loss is also called optical attenuation, which refers to the amount of optical loss between the transmitting end and the receiving end of optical fiber . There are many reasons for fiber loss, such as absorption/scattering of light energy by the fibrous material, bending loss, connector loss, etc. Overall, there are two main reasons for fiber loss: internal factors (i.e. the inherent characte

The Definitive Guide to Underground Cable Duct

Introduction Have you ever wondered what an underground cable conduit is? Perhaps you are curious where it is used or why there are so many types and color variations of electrical conduit. Or maybe you don't know how to install it? Or what the law says about it? Then this article is tailor-made for you! Ducts can be a confusing topic, given that many people associate the term even more with ventilation than with utilities. And it's really inconvenient to find all the answers to your questions in one place. Well, at least it was so far because we did!! We've gathered all the information we could find and compiled this handy article, to hopefully answer all the FAQs about underground cable conduit. What Is Underground Cable Duct? What Is Cable Duct? A cable conduit is a wiring protection system where electricity/power and other types of cables pass through and is designed as durable and impact resistant as possible to ensure cables are protected from damage.
