Fiber optic cables are composed of one or more transparent optical fibers enclosed in protective coverings and strength members. Fiber optic cables are used to transmit "light" data. Search by Specification | Learn More about Fiber Optic Cables

Fiber optic attenuators are devices that reduce signal power in fiber optic links by inducing a fixed or variable loss. They are used to control the power level of optical signals at the outputs of light sources and electrical-to-optical (E/O) converters. They are also used to test the linearity and dynamic range of photo sensors and photo detectors. Search by Specification | Learn More about Fiber Optic Attenuators

Fiber optic connectors are used to align and join two or more fibers together to provide a means for attaching to, or decoupling from, a transmitter, receiver, or other fiber optic device. Search by Specification | Learn More about Fiber Optic Connectors

Fiber optic rotary joints (FORJ) are the optical equivalent of electrical slip rings. They allow uninterrupted transmission of an optical signal while rotating along the fiber axis. Learn More about Fiber Optic Rotary Joints

Fiber optic couplers are optical devices that connect three or more fiber ends, dividing one input between two or more outputs, or combining two or more inputs into one output. Search by Specification | Learn More about Fiber Optic Couplers

Fiber optic switches route an optical signal without electro-optical and opto-electrical conversions. Search by Specification | Learn More about Fiber Optic Switches

Fiber optic polarizers (FOP) are placed inline to improve the extinction characteristics of fiber optic cable. They allow the transmission of only one polarization, blocking light in unwanted polarization states. Learn More about Fiber Optic Polarizers

Specialty fiber optic components are specialty or proprietary products related to fiber optic systems. Learn More about Specialty Fiber Optic Components

Fiber optic test sources review the performance of a system by injecting light through the fibers. Search by Specification | Learn More about Fiber Optic Test Sources

Fiber optic power meters are instruments that measure the average power of a continuous light beam. They are used to test signal power in fiber optic networks. Search by Specification | Learn More about Fiber Optic Power Meters

Fiber optic fault locators shine red laser light through jacketed fibers to identify breaks, bends, faulty connectors, splices and other causes of signal loss. Search by Specification | Learn More about Fiber Optic Fault Locators

Optical isolators are optical devices that allow light to be transmitted in only one direction. They are most often used to prevent any light from reflecting back down the fiber, as this light would enter the source and cause feedback problems.

Optical time domain reflectometers (OTDR) measure the elapsed time and intensity of light reflected along an optical fiber. They are useful tools for locating problems in an optical network as they can compute the distance to breaks or attenuation.

Wavelength division multiplexers (WDM) are passive devices that combine light signals with different wavelengths, coming from different fibers, onto a single fiber. They include dense wavelength division multiplexers (DWDM), devices that use optical (analog) multiplexing techniques to increase the carrying capacity of fiber networks beyond levels that can be accomplished via time division multiplexing (TDM).
