Accessories and Tech Data
Many commercial and industrial environments present electrical
noise and ground differential challenges, especially over long
distances. Fiber optic links solve those problems, providing
high bandwidth connections that are impervious to noise and
ground differentials. B&B Electronics has fiber optic solutions
that support point-to-point and networked systems. We also provide
the couplers and cable assemblies needed to put the complete
system together, and we can manufacture custom length plenum-rated
simplex cable. If you have questions, give our Technical Support
team a call. They can help.
Quick Facts
Optical fibers propagate light signals by the principle
of ‘total internal reflection’. Signals introduced
into the fiber, stay in the fiber, refracted by the difference
in refractive index between the core and cladding of the fiber.
Graded index multimode optical fibers are manufactured with
a gradual change of refractive index from core to cladding,
They provide better cost/performance than step index fiber
while still maintaining relatively large core diameters, which
are easier to couple.
Tech Tip: It is important to check fiber
optic cables for continuity both on the roll and after installation.
B&B Electronics’ DXL10 Fiber Optic Cable Continuity
Test Tool connects to one end of a fiber optic cable, projecting
light into the cable that is bright enough to be seen at the
other end, but won’t hurt your eyes.
