Fiber-Light Characteristics-Quizlet Flashcards
what are the two scientific properties that allow light ot travel inside of a specialized
piece of glass
Refraction and refection
one form a intrinsic loss is this
dispersion
Polarization-mode dispersion occurs when these two components travel through
the fiber at different velocities
vertically and horizontally
small irregularities in the core to cladding interface that cause reflections that allow light to be refracted out of the core
Microbend
RIN
Relative intensity noise
refers to the ratio of power applied to the power reflected, expressed in dB
return loss
fiber connectors fall under
these two categories
Flat polish and FC flat polish
reflections that occur at places where the light travels from one medium to another such as at the interface between the optical fiber connector and the air gap between it and the mating
connector.
Fresnal reflections
the core of the fiber has different frequencies in this
measurement
THz (power of 12)
the contact area of the fiber is this is large, in micrometers
250 - 300 micrometers
this connector is used on a
diplexer or return receiver module
MPO (multple fiber push one)
MPO
Multiple fiber push on
this connector is used for digital return path transmitter
SFPs
LC/UPC
list the three common
methods to clean fibers
wet, dry, combination
in a mechanical splice this is used to fill any potential air gap between the fiber end
faces
index matching gel
PAS
Profile Alignment System
BNC
Bayonet Neil-Concelman
visible spectrum is from this
range in THz
400 to 790 THz
is a measure of that reduction in spped has the light decreases casue of increases
in density
Index of refraction (IoR)
3 materials that make up the
core and the cladding
plastic, glass, silica
different paths in the fiber are
referred to as
modes
when working on a fiber you
should have this type of mat
tacky mat
is generally a digital transmission unit or data packet. Included is a sequence of bits that enable the receiver to detect the beginnin and end of a packet in the stream of bits or symbols
Frame
when two optical transmitters sendlight upstream at the same time and both transmitters are on exactly the same optical wavelength causing the transmissions to be lost due to distortion of
optical signal
OBI (Optical Beat interference)
Fiber scop will have these
three components
probe, analysis software, display
this organization set the standards for optical
connections
IEC (International Electrotechnical Commisson)
Fiber will have this many
zones
4
List the 4 zones of the fiber
core, cladding, adhesive, contact
IEC
International Electrotechnical Commission
This color indicates the fiber
is single mode
Yellow
This color indicates the fiber
is multi-mode
orange
This color indicates the fiber is optimized for multimode 10
Gb
aqua
PnP
Plug and Play
IoR
Index of Refraction
Docsis mediation layer
creates this on every ONU
virtual Cable modem (vCM)
dBm
decibel per millawatt
dBW
referenced to 1 watt
allows an operator to remotely locate part of the hub electronics in the access network
v-hub
PPM
PON Power meter
provides a visible light source that can be be launched
down the fiber to find faults
VFL Visual Fault locator
this organization created the
OSI model
ISO International Organization for Standardization
Bandwith of OFDMA
96 MHz
