Meet with the Fiber Optic Center Technical Team
Smart cables have one or two instances that require ‘smarts’ beyond its passive device status This discussion explores what constitutes a smart installation cable.
Discussion topics include:
Meet with the Fiber Optic Center Technical Team
The technical team combines their field experience to demonstrate and discuss how to enhance process, results, and fiber optic cable assemblies.
Discussion topics include:
Meet with the Fiber Optic Center Technical Team
Optical fiber and cable are the key building blocks of the passive plant. Proper construction of the physical layer provides a good foundation for the information highway.
Discussion topics include:
Meet with Kelly Barker, Epoxy Expert
Discussion on controls of the bonding process including epoxy mixing, application, curing, and testing.
Discussion topics include:
Meet with the Fiber Optic Center Technical Team
Cables with 288 to 2000 plus fibers per cable have staggering interconnection rates. Moving forward in higher densities of optical fibers, certain applications will start to see central office overcrowding that was common in many of the copper cross-connect switches. Discussion on data farms and communication closets, (reference wiring closet fails) today.
Discussion will focus on:
Meet with the Fiber Optic Center Technical Team
Full view of both mechanical and fusion methods of splicing and impacts on lowering insertion loss compared to fiber connectors.
Discussion topics include:
Meet with the Fiber Optic Center Technical Team
Cables are terminated in the field typically using a fusion splicer or a field connector as opposed to the conventional connectors placed on cable assemblies. This is particularly true of cables that are installed in buildings in conduit between buildings, underground or aerially on poles etcetera. The technologies for both have matured over time. During that maturing process many things have evolved through the different requirements.
Discussion topics include:
Meet with Kelly Barker, Epoxy Expert
Almost all epoxies used in the fiber optic industry are two-part epoxy systems consisting of a resin and a hardener or activator. All the chemicals in these two-part epoxies can cause an allergic reaction, but the component most commonly causing an allergic reaction is the resin. Epoxy resin is the third most frequent cause of occupational allergic dermatitis, or in other simple words, allergic skin reactions.
Discussion topics include:
Meet with the Fiber Optic Center Technical Team
The most common questions we receive include what is causing our poor IL/RL, how can we ensure clean fiber connections and do you have specific cleaning techniques during fiber optic cable assembly manufacturing and installation? This discussion is based on the answers and guidance we provide daily!
