As we all know, the quality of the transmission medium in integrated wiring is very important to the entire project. This is not only the service life of the integrated wiring project, but also the guarantee of its quality and performance. People are often keen to use optical fiber cables as long-distance transmission media because optical fiber cables have the advantages of strong resistance to electromagnetic interference, low signal attenuation, large capacity, light weight, small size, and long transmission distance.Tip 1. Choose fiber optic cables based on materialsMaterials used in optical cables and production processes The selection of optical cable materials is key to the service life of optical cables. The manufacturing process is an important link that affects the quality of optical cables. Products with stable processes and excellent quality are basically not included in the optical fiber additional loss in the entire process of optical cable production. ≤0.01dB/km is the basic data to measure the manufacturer’s optical cable manufacturing process level. .Tip 2: Choose fiber optic cables based on the number of coresThe structures of different types of optical cables can be selected according to the number of cores, which can be divided into central bundle tube type, layer strand type, skeleton type and ribbon type. The structures are different for different uses. Users can put forward corresponding requirements according to the line conditions. Generally, those with less than 12 cores adopt the central bundled tube type. The central bundled tube type has a simple process and low cost, and is competitive in overhead laying or branch trunk line networks with good pipeline protection. Layer-stranded optical cables use centrally placed steel strands or single-stranded optical cables. Reinforced by a steel wire, SZ continuous synthetic cable is used, and the number of fibers in the cable can reach 144 cores.Tip 3: Choose fiber optic cables based on usageChoose the corresponding optical cable according to the purpose. Depending on the purpose, optical cables can be divided into aerial optical cables, direct buried optical cables, submarine optical cables and metal-free optical cables. Aerial optical cables require high strength and a small temperature difference coefficient; direct-buried optical cables require good burial resistance, pressure resistance, moisture resistance, moisture resistance, and chemical erosion resistance; pipeline optical cables and submarine optical cables require water pressure resistance, tension resistance, and good waterproof properties; none Metal optical cables can be erected together with high-voltage lines. The insulation must be good. Although there is no iron core to strengthen the cable, it must have a certain tensile strength.Fiber hope fiber optic cable and patch cord manufacturers can provide high-quality fiber optic cables, fiber patch cords, fiber optic cable clamp, welcome to inquiry!

1. What is the testing principle of optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR)? What is the function?Answer: OTDR is based on the principle of backscattering and Fresnel reflection of light. It uses the backscattered light generated when light propagates in the optical fiber to obtain attenuation information. It can be used to measure fiber attenuation, joint loss, fiber fault point location and Understanding the loss distribution along the length of optical fiber is an indispensable tool in optical cable construction, maintenance and monitoring. Its main index parameters include: dynamic range, sensitivity, resolution, measurement time and blind zone, etc.2. What does “1310nm” or “1550nm” in common light test instruments refer to?Answer: It refers to the wavelength of the optical signal. The wavelength range used in optical fiber communication is in the near-infrared region, with wavelengths between 800nm and 1700nm. It is often divided into short wavelength band and long wavelength band, the former refers to the wavelength of 850nm, and the latter refers to 1310nm and 1550nm.The working wavelength of optical fiber communication is in the near-infrared region, and the bands are:O-band: 1260nm to 1310nmE-band: 1360nm to 1460nmS-band: 1460nm to 1530nmC-band: 1535nm to 1565nmL band: 1565nm to 1625nmU-band: 1640nm to 1675nmSingle-mode fiber usually operates at 1310nm, 1550nm and 1625nm.3. Among currently available commercial optical fibers, what wavelength of light has the smallest dispersion?

How are optical fibers classified according to the different modes of light waves transmitted in optical fibers?Answer: It can be divided into single-mode fiber and multi-mode fiber. The core diameter of single-mode optical fiber is approximately between 1 and 10 μm. At a given operating wavelength, it only transmits a single fundamental mode and is suitable for large-capacity long-distance communication systems. Multimode optical fiber can transmit multiple modes of light waves, with a core diameter of approximately 50 to 60 μm, and its transmission performance is worse than that of single-mode optical fiber.5.
