Connecting Cyprus to the Future of Fiber Optics
When building or upgrading a fiber optic network, choosing the right connector is just as important as selecting the right cable. Two of the most widely used connector types in fiber optic installations are SC (Subscriber Connector) and LC (Lucent Connector). Each has its own strengths, physical differences, and preferred use cases. This guide will […]
Fiber optic splicing is a critical part of building and maintaining high-speed fiber networks. Whether you’re working on FTTH, backbone, or enterprise installations, a single splice error can result in signal loss, downtime, and costly troubleshooting. This guide outlines seven common splicing mistakes and how to avoid them for better performance and reliability. 1. Not […]
Choosing the right type of fiber optic cable is essential for reliable and cost-effective network performance. The two main types — Single Mode (SM) and Multimode (MM) — differ in construction, performance, and application. This guide explains how to identify them by appearance, labeling, and technical specifications, helping you make the right choice for your […]
Fiber optic networks are the foundation of modern communication infrastructure. To ensure high performance, safety, and scalability, installations must follow internationally recognized standards. Two of the most important standards in structured cabling are EN50173 (used across Europe) and TIA-568 (widely adopted globally). This article breaks down what each standard covers and why compliance is essential […]
