:: What is a fiber optic cleaver? A fiber optic cleaver is a piece of tool or equipment to make an almost perfect fiber end face cut. Just like using a diamond scribe tool when cutting glass, a fiber cleaver’s cutting wheel (blade) makes a very tiny cut on the fiber first, then the fiber is pressed against the little cut to force it to break at 90° angle and expose a mirror like fiber end face. :: Why do we need to cleave optical fibers? Optical fiber needs to be cleaved for fusion splicing. Optical fiber fusion splicing nearly

>> What type of test do you want to perform? There are many types of measurements involved in the fiber optic cable installation process. ============================================================================================================================== >> Optical Power Measurement Optical power measurement is the basis of fiber optic metrology. An optical power detector is found in nearly every lightwave test instrument.Basically there are two types of power measurements: absolute power measurement and relative power measurement. Relative power measurements are used for testing of attenuation, gain and return loss, etc. Absolute power measurement is needed in conjunction with optical sources, detectors and receivers. For example, the absolute power of an optical

>> Fiber Compatibility – 50 μm and 62.5 μm Fibers It is important to understand fiber compatibility, especially if different fiber types will be used in a given location. According to standards, multimode cable plants should maintain uniform fiber types in each link, including jumpers and patch cables. To be compliance with standards, you should maintain consistent core sizes within a multimode fiber cable plant. However, in situations where mixing core sizes are unavoidable, it is technically feasible to combine 50 μm and 62.5 μm fibers in a single link using either LED or laser sources. Single-mode fiber is not

There are a number of questions regarding Fiber Optic Cable and its application that can quickly dial down to a preferred product offering. First of all is the installation. Pre-existing or specified equipment may direct exactly what cable is required. Ensure you have researched this information. =============================================================================================== 1) What Fiber Mode do you require? Multimode or Single Mode: Multimode a) 62.5/125um Multimode. Industry standard multimode cable. There are large amounts of legacy equipment on the market and already installed that this cable supports. b) 50/125um Multimode. Many newer pieces of equipment can use either 62.5 or 50 micron multimode cable.
