Fiber Optic Splicing
One of the major benefits of fiber splicing is a lower insertion loss when compared to terminating a connector. There are two ways to splice fiber, mechanical splice, or fusion splice. Mechanical Splicing Mechanical splicing doesn’t require any expensive equipment. This splicing method is a junction of 2 or more fiber to hold them in…
Fiber Optic Termination
There is only two ways to terminate fiber optic using either a connector or splicing. Each method has its own pros and cons. Depending on your situation one method might be more beneficial than the other. Here are a list of pros and cons of each method. Connectors Termination Pro This method doesn’t require expensive…

Outdoor Rated Fiber
Fiber has many different types of cables to choose from when planning an installation. The two major question to gather is: How many fibers is required from point to point? The locations of where the fiber is going to be placed. Cables that contain one of these components gel, powder, or absorbent tape are commonly used…
Singlemode vs Multimode
Singlemode (SM) generally cost cheaper than multimode (MM). The main question that we will typically ask our customer if they don’t know which fiber optic cable type to choose from is: What is the distance from one end to the other? What is the bandwidth that they require? Is it compatible with their equipment? Once…

Fiber Optic vs Copper Against Lightning
Most fiber optic cables does not contain metallic components making the cable non-conductive. This gives the cable an advantage towards protection against interference such as EMI, electrical noise, and lightning strikes when compared to copper. A non-conductive fiber cable will not pass an electrical spark through its cable and causing potential damage on the other…
Fiber Cleaning
It’s important for your fiber to be cleaned before connecting it. This will reduce some signal quality degradation cause by obstruction debris. Also cleaning your connectors before connecting it to a mating adapter will prevent transporting any contamination to your mating adapter. A unused connectors or mating adapter should always have a cap at the…
Endpoint Security
An endpoint is a type of communication device that connects to the network. Back then there are desktops, laptops, and handheld devices such as iPad, or cellphone. These devices can be simply protected by installing anti-virus software that scans for the signature-base of the virus and destroys it. Now, as the technology world evolves, endpoints include the…
