Fiber is a cable with a glass core that can transfer signals with great results. It is made up from the glass core, layers of protective plastic, kevlar and cladding to keep it safe. But fiber is still very delicate and needs to be handled with great care.
The first step to decide is what the type of fiber that is needed for your project. There are two types of modes to choose from, multi-mode (MM) or single-mode (SM). To define what type of fiber is needed we need to know which equipment is going to be used to send and receive the signals. But you also need to decide if you are going to be using duplex or simplex connection, and which type of connector.
Many of our customers need to transfer different types of communication signals, and by optimizing the fiber usage, this can allow several different types of application signals to be sent with only one fiber. If you need help understanding what you need, contact us and we can help you determine your fiber needs.
