In this video, Devin covers the nature of functionality of Splice Cassettes. These, or splice trays have been specifically designed to house, hold and manage these heat shrink sleeves, whilst furthermore protecting the fibres. https://youtu.be/HpHrq1v7qQoVideo can’t be loaded because JavaScript...

In this video, we cover how Fibre Optic Adaptors or Fibre Couplers play an important role in aligning and mating individual fibres together. If Fibre Optic connectors aren’t properly, then loss may occur at the mating point. https://youtu.be/joCPFWCRnI4Video can’t be...

A Fibre Optic Patch cable can be used for many different applications. However, in order to select the best possible cable for your network, you must ensure you know the three primary characters for good optical performance. These are: Low...

Fibre Optic installations, handling and preparation requires tools. As such you must consider the different Fibre Optic Tools & Termination Kits available to you. Every installer will need some basic tools when dealing with fibre optic cable. When looking at...

Mode Conditioning Cable or (MCC), are used to support applications where Gigabit Ethernet Routers, switches or transceivers are used were an existing Fibre Optic Network uses multimode cable. MCCs will need to be used in pairs, meaning you will need...

Just like Fusion Splicing is used to create an arc and weld two fibres together, so can Mechanical splicing be used to create a joint between two fibres, allowing light to transmit from one fibre to another. They work by...

Sealing and Protecting is important to ensure that the connected Fibres are protected from bending and covered by a sufficient sealant to protect against the elements. This can usually be done through a heat shrink or Splice Protector. Either option...

A key stage of any Fibre Optic Cable installation is the stage of Splicing. There are usually two ways of doing this, either through Mechanical or Fusion Splicing. Preparation for both methods remain the same, but the process and end...
