+44 1943 465918Many thanks for the latest Hotspot upgrade - if only all software companies were this responsive to customers needs!
I made a suggestion in October and it’s out there, implemented, within 2 months (don’t spoil it and say it was already in the pipeline - I’m on a high atm).
Excellent work!
Keep it up!
Frequencies and Applications
Although it is possible to find just about any cable type used on any network there are some common combinations.
|
Multimode Applications |
Wavelength |
Cable size |
| 10M Ethernet | 850nm | 62.5/125 or 50/125micron |
| 100M Fast Ethernet | 1300nm | 62.5/125 or 50/125micron |
| Gigabit Ethernet | 850nm/1300nm | 62.5/125 or 50/125micron |
| ATM 155Mbps | 1300nm | 62.5/125 or 50/125micron |
| FDDI | 1300nm | 62.5/125 or 50/125micron |
| Single Mode Applications | Wavelength | Cable size |
| 10M Ethernet | 1310nm* | 8/125micron |
| 100M Fast Ethernet | 1310nm* | 8/125micron |
| Gigabit Ethernet | 1310*/1550nm | 8/125micron |
| ATM 155Mbps | 1310nm* | 8/125micron |
| FDDI | 1310nm* | 8/125micron |
*Note: in practice there is no real difference between 1300nm and 1310nm the different names were used to help differentiate between multimode and single mode systems.
Standards
Cabling needs to conform to ANSI/TIA/EIA-568 Standard for 62.5/125 multimode fibre
ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.3 Standard for 50/125 multimode fibre.
The tests you have to do will depend on the Standard you require for your network.
- TIA/EIA-455-171A FOTP-171 Single ended loss test Standard
- TIA-526-14-A - OFSTP-14 Double ended loss test Standard
- TIA-526-7 - OFSTP-7 Single mode cable Standard
Testing details are covered later in this document.
