Combination of Fiber and Optics - The Journey of Light

The fiber optics basically mean a combination of fiber, a bundle of thin glass or plastic strands and optics, as known as light.  In words, it means that light travel in the thin fiber glass in a speedy way.  Normally, the character of the fiber optic is to transmit  signals at very high speeds even in a long distance without the lost of data or the quality.  

Mostly, the fiber optic is used to transmit Internet data, images for TV or medical camera.  But the most common application is telecommunication, which can convert audio signals into digital information through the fibers.  Once a device receives the signal, it converts it back into audio information that the listener on the other end hears. In order to maintain its function, the technitian will use optical power meter to detect the light source and then make sure the journey of the data in the light is safe or not.  

Why Do We Use Remote Fiber Test System?

The fiber optics technology had been invented in early 1840s in Paris, when the inventors demonstrated the idea of making the light fountain and based the concept of fiber optics.  Nowadays, the optical fiber is widely applied and even makes our life “wireless”.  So, what can we do with the optical fiber?  The most common application is optical fiber communication.  Taking the advantages of the flexibility, the fiber can be bundled as cable and then become especially ideal for long distance communication. 

Since it’s applied to long distance communications, the problems are needed to be detected by remote fiber test system.  It is basically a system that monitoring the fiber faults.  With the use of the system, you can communicate with others without any obstacles.  Beside the remote fiber test system, there is also some maintaining job to keep it long-lasting and works more smoothly.  For example, the fiber cleaner is to clean the dust and then make the fiber works faster.

 

The Cable Gland- Secure Attachment of Cable

The cable gland is designed for the purpose of reliving the strain and connecting specific cable.  Sometimes it can also be sued for sealing cable passing through gland plates or bulkheads.  In this way, connector or fitting become the name that often be known by most of people.  This device can be manufactured by either metallic or non-metallic materials, for example, plastic, brass, aluminum and stainless steel.  These four materials are also the common types of making cable glands. Most of the applications are conjunction with cable and wiring to the electrical instrumentation and automation systems, sometimes telecommunication cables as well. 

The reason why we use the cable gland is that this kind of device can seal and terminate the cable enters, maintaining the quality of the cable properly.  When you’re about to choose the cable gland, you have to pay attention to different notes such as the environmental conditions, the overall diameter of the cable, the inner bedding of the cable, the configuration and the enclosure type, the coupling or even the access limitations.  Mentioned above are just some of them, and the others are important as well.  The more careful you are before you choose the cable gland, the more joyful you will feel while using it.
