Where the telecommunication industry standardized their optical connectivity performance with visual, optical and geometrical measurements, the specialty fiber industry traditionally performs only a visual inspection on their fibers assemblies. The need for...
Fibers that have been designed to meet specific optical properties are used in a variety of applications such as Medical, Spectroscopy, Science, Mil/Aero, Industrial and Telecommunications. The construction of these specialty fibers varies in types and dimensions of...
Two of the most frequently asked questions from fiber optic cable assembly operations are: “How do scratches appear?” “How can we keep scratches to a minimum?” When we receive these questions from a customer, we usually request a visual image...
There are two types of IEC standards for MT/MPO measurements using interferometry. The first is the “Measurement Standard” and its primary purpose is to try and ensure that different instruments yield the same measurement results. This standard includes information...
With the introduction of mechanical MT cleaving by Phenix FO at OFC 2015 along with the existing laser cleaving options already on the market from Sagitta and Domaille we thought it might a good idea to line them up next to one another and compare the differences....
Almost all polishers have MT fixtures but there is a substantial difference on capability and performance. It’s like with cars; you will notice the difference when driving it. As you might notice on our website, in addition to Domaille, we are also a distributor for...
Last Updated: June 24, 2022 Through the new website feature at Fiber Optic Center, AskFOC, where customers can ask technical questions as another option of support, there are several questions that come in on a consistent basis. One such question centers around...
Optical fiber is used for many applications in almost every industry. The most common application is within cabled structures that are used for transmission of light or data. Many of us know that fibers are used for the internet communication network but optical...
