Alright cabling gurus, I've got a question for you: Can you mix single mode and multimode fibers in a single run?<P>I've always assumed the answer is 'no'. Yet this week, I was tracing runs and found ...

When an optical pulse propagates along an optical fibre, different wavelengths travel at different group velocities. As a result, wavelength information is converted into arrival-time information, a ...

I need about 5-10 meters, and the contractor doing the job never worked with fiber before so I need to provide my own pre-terminated cable. What should I look for in something that goes in the wall? I ...

Fiber optics is a branch of optical technology that is concerned with the transmission of data as light impulses along a thin flexible glass or plastic fiber. There are two basic types of optical ...

Australian-US team says wavefront-shaping of input light lifts power threshold for SBS scattering by an order of magnitude. A narrowband laser beam shaped by a spatial light modulator excites many ...

Company says record-breaking result will contribute towards technology to support post-5G mobile communications. Japan's KDDI Research and Sumitomo Electric Industries have announced that their ...

Growing demand for internet bandwidth, driven by increased mobile data and 5G services, presents significant opportunities in the dark fiber network market. Key advantages include reduced latency, ...

Why is fiber fundamentally important? Bandwidth. As data rates increase for applications such as HD, 3-D and 4K (or UHDTV, as it is also known), so will the need to transport that data from cameras to ...
