100
The most widely used connector with snap in mechanisms.
What is the sc connetor
100
This cable consists of several simplex tight buffer fibers contained within an outer jacket.
What is the Breakout cable
100
a sophisticated device that sends a calibrated light source at a specific wavelength down one end of a fiber. The unit is extremely sensitive and measures the extremely low levels of light reflected back through the fiber.
What is the OTDR
100
Input signals are mixed with analog reference frequencies to produce several 4khx voice channels
What is analog-FDM
100
the process of fusing or welding two fibers together usually by an electric arc.
What is fusion splicing
200
Was once the most commonly used single mode connector for man years that used ceramic inside with stainless steal ferrules that screws on firmly?
What is the fc connector
200
This compact building cable consists of individual 900µm buffered fiber, is smaller in size and costs less than breakout cables
What is the Distribution cables
200
Mating the the fiber cable under test to the reference launch cable and measuring the power at the far end with a power meter measures single-ended loss. This measures the loss of the connectors made to the launch cable and the loss of any fiber, splicers or other connectors the cable under test.
What is single-ended Loss tests
200
Voltage amplitudes are sampled, encoded with binary numbers to produce a digital bit stream with timing and framing bits unsorted
What is digital-TDM
200
Piece of equipment that cuts the fiber with out causing micro cracks.
What is cleaver
300
small connector that uses a 1.25 mm ferrule, half the size of the sc but standard
What is the lc connector
300
250 um fibers inside of a smooth tube normally submerged in a water resistant gel but can be dry, the tubes are then surrounded by a water resistant tape and all tubes are incased inside a protective outer jacket.
What is the Loose Tube
300
DOUBLE JEAPORDY!!!!!!!!! Composed of an optical power meter, light source, extra connectors and jumper cables
What is the optical loss test set
300
proven more cost effective in many instances. It allows using current electronics and current fibers, but simply shares fibers by transmitting different channels at different wavelengths (colors) of light.
What is optical-WDM
300
compression tool applying 1 pound of pressure too keeping fiber ends in place once both fibers within.
What is fibrolock
400
Duplex connector with both fibersin a single mode polymer fiber uses pin alignments can be both male and female versions.
What is the MT-RJ
400
Single strand of fiber surrounded by a 900 um buffer then a layer of Kevlar and finally the outer jacket.
What is the Simplex Cable
400
Instrument compares a test pattern bit stream output wit the returning bit stream input after the bit stream is looped back through the system under set.
What is Bit error rate instrument
400
Capable of distinguishing each wavelength without crosstalk.The higher numbers of wavelengths has lead to the name,The technical requirement is only that the lasers be of very specific wavelengths and the wavelengths are very stable.Current systems offer from 4 to 32 channels of wavelengths.
What is DWDM
400
TRIPLE JEAPORDY!!!!!!!!!! The most common tool used to strip buffers and cladding off of fiber.
What is The miller
500
Most popular connector used for multimode networks, most commonly used for buildings and campuses with a bayonet mount and a long cylindrical 2.5 mm ceramic or polymer ferrule to hold the fiber.
What is the st connector
500
A coherent optical fiber bundle in which the configuration is flat rather than round, giving an output in a line.
What is the Fiber Optic Ribbon
500
locator used to quickly determine fiber continuity, breakage or leakage.
What is visual fault locator
500
Generally refers to using lasers spaced 20 nm apart over the full range of 1260 to 1670 nm. It only works on low water peak fibers, where the high water absorption bands have been eliminated in the manufacture of the fiber.
What is CWDM
500
Most commonly used to clean fiber after stripping away the cladding around the core.
What is 99% isopropyl alcohol
