Fiber optic connectivity is getting better and better. Two improvements that have caught on due to their practical benefits are fiber connectors and adapters that are smaller and better protected from contaminants. Below we discuss the nature of these two improvements and how they can benefit your fiber optic network. We conclude with some brief details of how you can attain these benefits from four new L-com product lines: SN® connectors, SN® adapters, CS® connectors, and CS® adapters.... Read more

It’s no mystery why fiber optic technology has grown in popularity since it was commercially introduced in the 1970s. Sending data via infrared light pulses on a fiber line, rather than electrically over copper cable, allows the transmitting of more information faster, over longer distances and with no threat of radio or electromagnetic interference. That’s why it is often the choice for ....... Read more

Coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) and dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) solve a big challenge faced by companies in the telecom and datacom industries. The two technologies allow them to get the most use out of an existing fiber optic cable. If they need more bandwidth...... Read more

A duplex fiber optic cable consists of two strands of glass or plastic fibers within the same outer jacket of the cable. Generally, duplex fiber optic cables are available in a zip cord construction. Duplex fiber cable is most often used in communication between devices that require ...... Read more
