Setting up Fiber Optics Technology

by http://www.fiber-mart.com

It is widely assumed that fiber optics is a new phenomenon that has recently revolutionized the communication infrastructure. Contrary to common belief, Chicago witnessed the first installation of a fiber optic link as far back as 1976. Since then, fiber optics has become widely used in telecommunications because of its large bandwidth and distance advantages over conventional copper wire.

By paying more attention to the design, installation and operation of a fiber optic system, it is possible to take advantage of the security, bandwidth and distance that fiber optics offers. What are some guidelines you can use to ensure proper installation and usage of your fiber optic system? The first step is to determine the distance or the range of the link that you are working with – longer links require singlemode fibers or lasers, while shorter links take multimode fibers or LED Sources.
Then consider the environment you are working with – is your installation outdoors or above the ceiling , or in an office or factory floor. These factors will help to determine how your fiber will be mounted. If you have a ceiling application, you may want to source fiberglass push and pull rods to help you with those hard to reach places.

If you’re cutting into tight-buffered cable your best option is to use Kevlar shears because they cut the cable clean and neat which can save polishing time. Another good investment would be cable strippers and lint free wipes to clean any debris left from the glass fibers. You also want to consider the type of hardware that may come in handy, if splice closures are appropriate; these will have to be sourced beforehand.
Once your fibers have been sheared, polished, cleaned and tested it becomes important to choose a termination type appropriate for your application. Remember to clean all your connectors properly and to label all your cables to identify your fiber optic cable. There are now kits on the market that may carry everything you need, which will save you a bit of time in sourcing different tools necessary for your application. Once you have documented your entire fiber optic network you should be good to go. Remember, documentation is foresight; it will help when it comes time to troubleshoot, upgrade or restore your network.

Fiber Optic Fusion Splicers and How They Work

by http://www.fiber-mart.com

What is a fiber optic fusion splicer?
A fiber optic fusion splicer is a device that uses an electric arc to melt two optical fibers together at their end faces, to form a single long fiber. The resulting joint, or fusion splice, permanently joins the two glass fibers end to end, so that optical light signals can pass from one fiber into the other with very little loss.
How does a fusion splicer work?
Before optical fibers can be successfully fusion-spliced, they need to be carefully stripped of their outer jackets and polymer coating, thoroughly cleaned, and then precisely cleaved to form smooth, perpendicular end faces. Once all of this has been completed, each fiber is placed into a holder in the splicer’s enclosure. From this point on, the fiber optic fusion splicer takes over the rest of the process, which involves 3 steps:
Alignment: Using small, precise motors, the fusion splicer makes minute adjustments to the fibers’ positions until they’re properly aligned, so the finished splice will be as seamless and attenuation-free as possible. During the alignment process, the fiber optic technician is able to view the fiber alignment, thanks to magnification by optical power meter, video camera, or viewing scope.
Impurity Burn-Off: Since the slightest trace of dust or other impurities can wreak havoc on a splice’s ability to transmit optical signals, you can never be too clean when it comes to fusion splicing. Even though fibers are hand-cleaned before being inserted into the splicing device, many fusion splicers incorporate an extra precautionary cleaning step into the process: prior to fusing, they generate a small spark between the fiber ends to burn off any remaining dust or moisture.
Fusion: After fibers have been properly positioned and any remaining moisture and dust have been burned off, it’s time to fuse the fibers ends together to form a permanent splice. The splicer emits a second, larger spark that melts the optical fiber end faces without causing the fibers’ cladding and molten glass core to run together (keeping the cladding and core separate is vital for a good splice – it minimizes optical loss). The melted fiber tips are then joined together, forming the final fusion splice. Estimated splice-loss tests are then performed, with most fiber fusion splices showing a typical optical loss of 0.1 dB or less.

What are the Differences of SFP, SFP+, XFP?

Difference of SFP,SFP+ and XFP module

SFP stands for “Small Form-factor Pluggable.” It is most often used for Fast Ethernet of Gigabit Ethernet applications. They are capable of supporting speeds upto 4.25 Gbps. It interfaces a network device motherboard (for a switch, router, media converter or similar device) to a fiber optic or copper networking cable. It is specified by the SFP transceiver multi-source agreement.

SFP+ can be referred to as an expansion of the SFP standard. It has the capability to support speeds of 10 Gbps or even higher over fiber. The SFP+ product family includes cages, connectors, and copper cable assemblies. It is also similar to the performance requirements of SFF-8431 and also supports 8G Fiber Channel and 10G Ethernet applications. SPF+ comes with various advantages. It is a more compact factor package than compared to that of XFP. The cost of SFP+ is also less than that to the XFP.

XFP is a standard for the transceivers. This type of transceiver is not dependent on the protocol. Generally, it operates at optical wavelengths corresponding to 850nm, 1310nm or 1550nm. The modules belonging to the XFP are hot swappable which means that the function of replacing the computer system components can be performed without shutting down the system. The specifications of XPF were developed by the XFP Multi Source Agreement Group.

SFP module:

  • SFP stands for Small Form Factor Pluggable and it is also called as mini GBIC.
  • SFP transceiver modules support SONET, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and other communications standards.
  • Copper cables and fiber cables can be used in SFP module.
  • SFP supports data rate up to 5 Gbps.

 

SFP+ module:

  • SFP+ stands for small form factor pluggable plus.
  • SFP+ transceiver modules support Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and other communications standards.
  • Twinax cables, Copper Cables and fiber cables can be used in SFP+ module.
  • SFP+ supports data rate upto 10 Gbps.

 

 XFP module:

  • XFP stands for 10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable.
  • XFP transceiver modules support SONET, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Fibre Channel, and other communications standards.
  • XFP is a slightly larger form factor than the popular small form-factor pluggable transceiver, SFP, and SFP+.
  • XFP modules are hot-swappable and protocol-independent.
  • XFP supports data rate up to 10 Gbps.

 

Conclusion:

With growing demand for reliable and high speed mobile communication, optical transceivers are increasingly being used for the communication network infrastructure and be bound to thrive in optical network. 10G Ethernet is still the mainstream among small size data centers,The XFP transceiver module is not as popular as the SFP and SFP+ transceiver, but it still has a place.
