  1. How to buy right Fiber Optic Cable for your network FalconTech

  2. Introduction • With the world slowly transitioning towards adopting faster technologies that need real time information exchange, the demand for better data networks with high bandwidth and reliability is increasing. • The bandwidth limitation of copper wire lead to mass adoption of fiber cables. Additionally, the optical fiber has more advantageous compared to copper wire such as: • Better Data Speed (light v/s electricity) • Free from Electromagnetic Interference • More reliability • Use of repeaters only at long distances >500 meters • However, there is a wide choice when it comes to selecting the right fiber cable connection. We shall make the choice easier.

  3. How are Fiber Optic Cables Differentiated? • The fiber optic cable can be differentiated based on different parameters such as: • Based On Operation • Based On Application • Type of Communication • Connector Types • Jacket Colors

  4. Classification Based on Operation Even though light propagates through the fiber optic cable, the way it propagates categorizes the cable into two types: • Single Mode Fiber Optic Cable: It only carries a single beam of precision laser, which travels in a straight line. Hence, it can carry the signal to great distance <200 kms • Multimode Fiber Optic Cable: A slightlythicker core allows more than one light signal to pass through core using the reflection property of light. However, due to constant reflection, light lose happens after 500mtrs.

  6. Classification Based on Applications • Indoor Cables Indoor cables those which are run across the interiors of the building. They need to be strong enough to withstand the strain and weight of being run through tight spaces such as conduits or roof ducts. These fiber optic cables are double buffered and has a kevlar coating for reinforcement. • Outdoor Cables When you need cables running outside the building or in surveillance systems, it needs to bear the harsh weather elements. Most people opt for an armored fiber optic cable as they are better equipped for the job.

  7. Type of Communications • Simplex Communications • Depending on the architecture of the cable, you can have one or two glass cores. Simplex fiber optic cable has a single core with single connector at the each ends. • Duplex Communications • In duplex communications, there is a pair of optical fibers that handles the two way communication. They may have individual connectors or a unified connector.

  8. Connector Types LC The Lucent connector or LC type is a small form factor connector developed by Lucent Technologies. It is suitable for a ferrule size of 1.25mm and generally deployed in pairs for duplex communications. SC The Subscriber Connector was developed by NTT in Japan for fiber optic communications. It is used in duplex communication, which means two cables are paired inside a single connector. It is suitable for a ferrule size of 2.5mm.

  9. Connector Types -II ST The Straight Tip connector is the AT&T’s response to SC connector. Also applicable for 2.5mm ferrule core, the ST connector implements push pull mechanism for quick insertion and removal. Similar to SC connectors these are also used for duplex connections. MTRJ The MTRJ connector closely resembles an RJ-style modular plug, even getting part of its name from the resemblance. It is an acronym for Mechanical Transfer-Registered Jack connectors and was developed by AMP/Tyco and Corning. It can also house two cables in a single connector, so is used for duplex communications.

  10. Jacket Colors The major type jacket colors are: • Aqua • Yellow It is used to distinguish between single mode fiber (yellow) and multimode fiber (aqua). However, there is further bifurcation when it comes to the types of multimode cables. Depending on the OM nomenclature, each color represents different fiber type: • OM1 and OM2 - Orange • OM3 and OM4 - Aqua • OM5 - Lime Green
