Mechanical splicing is the process of precisely aligning two fiber optics together using an alignment device and index matching gel that has a similar refractive index and covers the possible air gaps, helping light travel from one fiber to another with minimal loss and little back reflection.

FTTA is a broadband network architecture in which the high frequency and power electronics are taken from the based station and located at a remote radio-head (RRH), a based fiber optic system that converts digital signals into analog, close to the antenna and fiber optic is used to join the RRH to the base station in new and old antennas.

Improvements in transmitters have made it possible to achieve higher speeds and longer transmission distances with multimode fiber. And now the question is:  which multimode fiber to use?

There are different kinds of optical fiber cables, single mode and multimode. There also are four types of multimode fiber identified by the “OM”  designation described by the ISO/IEC 11801 and they are: OM1, OM2, OM3 and OM4.

Optical fiber cables transmit data as light pulses over long distances so we can have Internet access and stream Netflix or check our social media. And their performance is really well, at least until an animal decides is time to eat delicious glass strands and shut down our connections

Technology is often created to improve our life, making it easier and better, but sometimes progresses affect our world, this is why telecom department is getting greener and greener replacing old school copper wired with fiber optic technologies.
