Cable plant - cabling system in the enterprise including all the hardware. All the cable are following the same cabling standard. Standard is well know as the structured cabling. It is used in order to maximize performance while minimizing upkeep. Standard is independent from the type of the media that is being used in the network, it applies for copper ...
Serial-data transmission where bits are continuously transmitted in a single transmission line. Most common serial data transmission method is called RS-232 (Recommended Standard 232). RS-232 specifies Physical layer values like voltage, timing, and compatibility. This standard is used with most common connectors - RJ-45, DB-9, and DB-25, or lotus screw type, as used in our video over fiber equipment series.

Single-mode fiber (SMF) is having a core of 8 to 10 microns in diameter. Signal is traveling in a single light beam with close to none reflection. Low reflection ratio means lower dispersion. This type of cable can achieve close to max values in distance and bandwidth without repeaters. This type of fiber is commonly used for connecting WAN locations. ...
The core of the fiber-optic cable is made of one or multiple glass or plastic fibers. Central fibers are used as media for transmitting data, which is being sent in light beams from a laser or a LED. The core is surrounded by layer of plastic or glass with different density, which is called cladding. Its purpose is to reflect ...
Differences here are not that hard to understand. If you are in scenario, where you need to plug multiple new patch cables with length between 3 and 25 feet, it is good to know how to terminated twisted pair properly. If you have spare RJ-45 plugs, some amount of cable and the networking tool kit, it would be piece of ...
Attenuation is being measured in dB/km, referring to the loss in signal strength or power of the light. Loss happens due the light traveling through the single-mode or multimode fiber.
There is a variety of wavelengths with which light is traveling. Original wavelength was 580 nm due to support of original LED and detector. As the technology was evolving, the 1310 ...
