What are the different types of splices for optical fibers?

Answer 1

1. Fusion splices: Use an arc to melt and connect two fibers.

2. Connectorised splices: Use various types of connectors like BNC, ST, etc. These can either be straight- or diagonal-cut fibers.

3. Epoxy splices: Here fibers are joined with the help of refractive index matching glue and guiding sleeves or jackets.

Answer 2

There are two basic types of optical fiber.

Multi Mode Optical Fiber

Used to transmit many signals per fiber. (Multi Mode fibers are generally used for computer networks, lan applications).

MultiMode Optical Fiber is produced as 50/125 and 62.5/125. (Core/Cladding diameter in microns.)

Single Mode Optical Fiber

Used to transmit one signal per fiber (Single Mode fibers are generally used for telephone and cable tv applications.)

Single Mode Optical Fiber is produced as 8/125 and 9/125. (Core/Cladding diameter in microns.)

Answer 3

In an optical fiber cable(OFC) mainly there are following types of losses :-

1) Bending loss (Due to Macrobends & Microbends)

2) Scattering loss (Rayleigh scattering & Mie scattering)

3) Dispersion loss

4) Absorption loss

5) Insertion loss

for details refer any good text such as Gerd Kieser or John M senior etc.

Answer 4

hii...all....

there are different types of losses occure in optical communication...

major one is FADING..

fading consist of attenuation, dispersion, scattering, bending loss.

rest all above there is one more type named nonlinear effect.

Answer 5

there are two types of optical fiber,the first type is single mode fibers.the second type is multimode fibers.

Answer 6

There are a few different types of optical fibers. There are multi mode optical fibers, and single mode optical fibers, these are the two basic types.
