Splitter modules protect components from mechanical stress during installation. Sensitive glass fiber pigtails are protected by 1.1- or 0.9-mm loose tubes. Applications include...
The FO 7010 cuts and removes Kevlar material from fiber-optic cables. The device`s pneumatically driven cutting system separates the material from the optical conductor of the...
A variable fiber-optic attenuator with -70-dB backreflection meets Bellcore specifications and suits telecommunications applications. Attenuation range is from 0.4 to more than...
MultiNet plug-in adapter enables control of eight computers with a single uninterruptible power system. The adapter has one smart network port to use with SmartPro intelligent...
The SC-duplex connection system combines two NTT-SC standard connectors in a common duplex housing, which enables users to insert and remove connector pairs while maintaining ...
The working group of the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA, Arlington, VA) that is responsible for the TIA/EIA-568A commercial telecommunications cabling standard has...
Teflon FEP fluoropolymer resin insulates plenum cable and provides extended high-frequency performance and high attenuation-to-crosstalk ratios for extra headroom. In addition...
Lanlinxs FDP-12/24 wall-mounted enclosure provides crossconnect and interconnect capabilities for outside-plant, riser and building cables. This fiber distribution panel terminates...
The ACCIS NC-3000 performs uses standard monochromatic phase-shift interferometry to map smooth surfaces in less than 10 seconds. The unit automatically measures the key parameters...
These multimode and singlemode cable assemblies use simplex and duplex cables to attach to any type of connector. Available connectors include Escon, FDDI, SMA 905/906, Biconic...
Cabling installation projects involve many pieces of equipment, which installers usually track manually. As an installation progresses, technicians often make changes and may ...
Uninterruptible power systems have been added to the company`s line of power protection products for computers, local and remote networks and networked equipment, such as servers...
Fiber-optic limit switches contain an optical contact block that is connected to an electro-optic driver by fiber-optic cable. The distance between the driver and switch point...
Last fall Sandia National Laboratories (Albuquerque, NM) reached the halfway point in a recabling project that is upgrading a 1950s cabling infrastructure to handle the high-bandwidth...
There`s an old saying that goes something like: "He`s like a bad penny; he just keeps turning up." That saying came to mind recently when we received a Telecommunications Industry...
Helix/HiTemp Cables Inc. (Franklin, MA) has announced SmartWrap cable packages, which typically consist of several Category 5 cables, helically wrapped together in one installation...
In "Plan cable runs during rough-in to avoid electrical problems" (see "Installer Tips," April 1996, page 50), I was pleased to see that issues such as commercial power and voice...
Multimode optical-fiber network systems operate at either 850- or 1300-nanometer wavelengths, and singlemode systems operate at 1310 or 1550 nm. All of these ranges are in the...
Workers new to the field frequently assume that low-voltage cabling does not present a shock hazard. A 50- to 60-volt direct current (DC) is normally present on an idle tip-and...
A key element in making a profit on a cabling installation project can be defined as productivity--the units of work per increment of time. The profitability of every project ...
