Frequently Asked Questions

To clean fiber optic connectors, use a lint-free cleaning cloth and an appropriate cleaning solution, such as isopropyl alcohol. Wipe the connector end face gently and avoid touching it with your fingers. Repeat the process until the end face is clean and free of debris.

An OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) is a device used to test the integrity of a fiber optic cable by measuring the amount of light that is reflected back to the device. The OTDR sends a pulse of light down the fiber and then measures the time and intensity of the reflected light. It can detect and locate fiber breaks, bends, and other abnormalities in the cable.

A fiber optic visual fault locator is a handheld device that emits a visible red light into a fiber optic cable to locate faults or breaks in the cable. The red light is visible through the cable jacket and can help identify breaks or other issues in the cable.

Single-mode fiber has a smaller core diameter and can transmit light over longer distances than multimode fiber. Multimode fiber has a larger core diameter and is typically used for shorter distances. Single-mode fiber is used in long-haul telecommunications applications, while multimode fiber is used in data centers and other shorter-distance applications.

Fiber optic loss can be measured using a power meter and a light source. The light source is connected to one end of the fiber and the power meter is connected to the other end. The power meter measures the amount of light that is transmitted through the fiber, and the difference between the power at the input and output ends of the fiber is the fiber optic loss.
