In this episode of Cable Talk, Josh Taylor explains some of the physical and application differences between multimode and singlemode fiber optic cables. Multimode is typically used in data centers. Singlemode is used in “long haul” applications due to the higher cost of the active electronics.

In this 4-minute tutorial, I discuss the basic handling techniques and procedures for fiber optic assemblies, including end-face contamination, pinching, breaking, storage and installation methods.

In this edition of CABLE Talk Josh provides a quick tutorial on how to buy cabling products, while not paying too much for high performance  standards based quality.   Learn how not to sacrifice  performance to meet your budget, by assuring all your cabling specifications that meets and/or exceeds the industry standards such as EIA/TIA, BICSI, ETL, UL.
