Cable installation by using high speed air flow combined with additional mechanical pushing force is called as "blowing or jetting". Installing air-blown fiber optic cable via a jetting machine doesn't need to be a complicated process. In this how-to video, we show you the tools and techniques you'll need to properly blow and install fiber optic cable.

Fiber splicing is the process of permanently joining two optical fibers end-to-end. It is commonly used in long-distance applications or environments that require minimal signal loss. Recommendations for Fiber Optic Cable Installation Where reels are supplied with protective material fitted over the cable, the protection should remain in place until the cable will be installed. Another method of connecting optical fibers is termination or connectorization, which consists of processing the end of a fiber optic bundle so that it can be connected to other fibers or devices through fiber optic.

The technique is based on the extraction of the temperature profile of the fiber by using a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) array. We propose here a liquid level sensor using a long period fiber grating (LPFG) in which direct liquid level measurement is carried out by utilising an LPFG, 100mm in length and a periodicity of 1mm. The LPFG was exposed to liquids with varying levels and the wavelength shift of a selected loss band.

An OTDR is a powerful tool that helps technicians and engineers assess the health of fiber optic cables. As these light pulses travel down the fiber, they encounter various events: connectors, breaks, cracks, splices, and the fiber's end. OTDRs are required for Tier 2 compliance testing within TIA standards and for "extended" testing within ISO standards.
