Fibre optic technicians regularly use fusion splicers to melt and fuse the end-face of an optical fibre with another. The objective of fusion splicing is to join two glass fibres permanently to facilitate continual optical communication without any signal loss. Fusion splicers are indispensable when it comes to installing aerial cables, underwater cables, underground cables and direct-buried fibre optic cables.

Using a cable that was capable of sending signals few miles away was hard to imagine, a couple of decades back. Communication was geographically limited as conventional copper cables were incapable of high-speed and long-distance transmission

When choosing the ideal cabling solutions for your project, indeed, there are two widely used options available today, pre-terminated and field terminated.

OS1 and OS2, short for Optical Single-mode 1 and Optical Single-mode 2, are fibre optic cable standards

When set up high performance data networks or local area networks (LAN), you want to make sure that you are get the most for your money.

The RJ45 (Registered Jack 45), often referred to as a data jack, is crucial to the efficient functioning of your Local Area Network (LAN)

If you are working on maintaining or installing a Local Area Network (LAN), one of the most crucial things toknow is how to correctly terminate network cables using RJ45 connectors.

Fibre optic cables all have one common weakness: flexibility. The glass core and reflective cladding are essential to signal integrity, and accidentally twisting or bending the cable too much will force attenuation that can ruin your application with signal loss.
