RSS fiberFiber's Fragile When it Freezes
White Paper When it's freezing cold outside, fiber optic cable enclosed in innerduct systems that are not buried beneath the frost line--for example, innerduct strung under bridges--is at risk. Because it is made of glass,... [25 Feb 2004]
Fiber to the Home
White Paper Fiber to the home (FTTH) is the ideal fiber-optics architecture. In this architecture, fiber deployment is carried all the way to the customer’s home (premises). This tutorial will... [25 Feb 2004]
Fiber Optics on New Development MDUs
White Paper This paper describes the fiber vs.copper comparison and the related benefits associated with a fiber solution. Without question, telecommunications services have revolutionized the way the world does... [25 Feb 2004]
Fiber-to-the-Desk: the Ultimate Structured Cabling System
White Paper Today, with increasingly sophisticated applications like high-speed ISPs and e-commerce becoming standard, it’s time to consider optical fiber as the primary media to provide data services to the desktop. [25 Feb 2004]
Fiber Optic Test Issues - What to Measure and Why?
White Paper Fiber optic networking applications, such as Gigabit Ethernet, the emerging 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Storage Area Networks (SANs) are focusing much of the industryÂ’s attention on the need to properly evaluate... [25 Jun 2007]
Fiber Optics
White Paper Fiber optic technology has become increasingly more popular in recent years, and is used primarily for real time data communications. Before fiber optics came along, the primary means of communicating... [27 Apr 2004]
Fiber-Optic Technology
White Paper Fiber-optic communications is based on the principle that light in a glass medium can carry more information over longer distances than electrical signals can carry in a copper or coaxial medium. The purity of today's... [25 Feb 2004]
Fiber Testing vs. OTDR
White Paper This paper compares the price/performance aspects of the Fiber SmartProbe+ to a traditional OTDR. Previously, the only available method of measuring the length of installed optical fibers was to use an expensive Optical... [25 Feb 2004]
Fiber Distributed Data Interface
White Paper The Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) specifies a 100-Mbps token-passing, dual-ring LAN using fiber-optic cable. FDDI is frequently used as high-speed backbone technology because of its support for... [25 Feb 2004]
Fiber Optic Cables for Next Generation High Performance Networks
White Paper This white paper traces the evolution of optical fiber cabling for present and next generation requirements. Options exist to take advantage of todayÂ’s newest technologies while maintaining compliance with the... [06 Jun 2008]

Fiber Connector Termination Methods
White Paper Pioneers in the interconnection industry developed a basic method to attach a connector to a length of fiber optic cable. That method was the use of epoxy, applied onto the fiber with a cotton swab or... [25 Feb 2004]
Fiber-Optic Surface Plasmon Resonance Probes for Ammonia Sensing
White Paper Fiber-optic surface plasmon resonance (FO-SPR) probes for the detection of toxic chemicals, such as ammonia, in solution and in air are being developed. The sensing is achieved using polymer-stabilized sensing elements... [24 Feb 2005]
Fiber Survivability: Protecting the Passives
White Paper Often overlooked, the protection of fiber optic patchcords is essential to the survival of the network. A kink or severe bend in a fiber optic patchcord can result in unacceptable attenuation and... [25 Feb 2004]
