Optical fibers are sensitive to bends that can occur in the cable during installation and during use, this type of bends is called macro bendings. When a fiber optic cable is over-curved, light traveling on the outside of the core can be refracted and disappear...
Fiber Optic Cables are a crucial element in the transmission of data, voice, and video in communication networks. They are widely used in various applications such as telecommunications, cable TV transmission, high-speed Internet, and data center infrastructure. Pre-connectorization is a technology that has become increasingly...
Cleanliness is critical when it comes to fiber optics, whether during the production process, during installation or handling. Optical fiber transmits information with pulses of light through strands of fiberglass or plastic over long distances. These fiber optic strands have approximately the diameter of a human...
Other Applications of Fiber Optic Cables We all know the benefits of optical fibers for telecommunications. Either for long distances for communications between cities, countries or even continents, as for short distances such as in a trunk of a building. We could not imagine telecommunications or...
Optical fibers are flexible filaments made of transparent materials, such as glass or plastic fibers, and are used as a light propagation medium. Despite their many applications, data transmission is one of the most common. Although they are very thin, with each fiber measured in micrometers,...
Introduction A splitter is a device used to split a light beam that travels over a fiber and send it over 2 or more fibers, increasing the number of links in a network. Today we will talk about the meaning and purpose of a fiber optic...
OM5 is a multimode fiber cable designed for high bandwidth and short to medium range applications. Is the first approved as WBMMF (Wide Band Multimode Fiber) designed to specifically handle high-speed data center applications. It was created to support shortwave wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) applications that...
The telecommunications market is constantly changing. It is mainly reflected in the way innovations lead to a need for adaptation by everybody. Constant changes are, without a doubt, a new reality with which we must live. Thus, there is an undeniable certainty - adaptability has to...
Do I need Multimode or Monomode? Multimode fiber is suited to use in local area network (LAN) for short transmission distances. In this kind of fiber light rays are carried simultaneously through the waveguide. The bit rate can reach 10 Gbit/s for a transmission distance of...
The Construction Products Regulation (CPR), EU Regulation No 305/2011, lays down the harmonized conditions for the market of construction products. As a regulation to be applied throughout the European Single Market, it refers to the harmonized standards of CENELEC EN50575: 2014 and EN50575: 2014 /...
The demand for pre-assembled cables is increasing, and their versatility is one of the main reasons. At Higgs the personalization is one of our main focuses and it is possible to customize the products from the begin to the end according to your needs. In addition...
