Step-Index Multimode Fiber Preform (50/125, 62.5/125)

Comparison of 50/125 and 62.5/125 step-index multimode fiber preforms side by side

Understanding the Two Standards The choice between 50/125 and 62.5/125 step-index multimode fiber preforms impacts network performance significantly. These numbers refer to core and cladding diameters in micrometers. The larger 62.5-micron core captures more light from LED sources. The smaller 50-micron core…

Armored Flame Retardant Stranded Loose Tube Optical Cable

Armored stranded loose tube cable cross-section showing corrugated steel tape armor

 Armored Loose Tube Cable The armored flame retardant stranded loose tube optical cable offers robust protection for demanding environments. Steel or aluminum armor provides mechanical defense against rodents and impacts. The loose tube design isolates fibers from cable contraction during cold temperatures.…

Hollow-Core Photonic Crystal Fiber

Hollow-core photonic crystal fiber cross-section showing periodic air holes

Introduction to Hollow-Core Fiber The hollow-core photonic crystal fiber guides light through air rather than glass. A periodic array of microscopic air holes surrounds the central hollow region. This structure confines light using photonic bandgap effects. The result is fiber where 99%…

RoHS Compliant 100G 10km CFP4/QSFP Optical Transceiver

100G CFP4 and QSFP optical transceivers side by side showing size comparison

100G Transceivers The RoHS compliant 100G 10km CFP4 and QSFP optical transceivers enable high-speed links over moderate distances. These modules convert electrical signals to optical for transmission over single-mode fiber. The 10km reach suits data center interconnect and campus backbone applications. RoHS…
