Fiber optic microcable
Fiber optic micro cables are a type of fiber optic cables that are used to transmit data and information in the network, and are highly regarded as a suitable choice for installation in limited environments and for applications that require high-speed data transmission. . These cables provide improved flexibility and efficiency in fiber optic data transmission.
Dimensions and features of micro fiber optic cable:
Micro fiber optic cable has special characteristics and dimensions that make it suitable for special applications such as installation in small environments. These features include:
Diameter: Micro cable has a very small diameter, which is usually in the range of 2 to 4 mm and sometimes even less. This small size allows the cable to be installed in limited spaces and easier cabling.
Number of fibers: Micro cable usually has a small number of optical fibers. It is usually in the range of 1 to 24 fibers. But there is also the possibility of production for 48Kr and 72Kr.
Weight: Due to its small dimensions, micro fiber optic cable has a light weight, which is the main advantage for installation in environments with weight restrictions.
Flexibility: These cables are very flexible and can be easily installed in winding environments.
Protection: Micro fiber optic cable has protective layers to resist environmental factors such as moisture, dust and mechanical damage.
Performance: These cables are used for high-speed and high-efficiency data transmission in optical fibers.
Applications: Fiber optic micro cables are used for installation in limited environments such as cable pipes, limited cabling spaces, surveillance equipment, medical equipment, Internet of Things and various communication systems.
The latest models of micro fiber optic cable may have different features and dimensions, so to choose the most suitable cable, pay attention to your specific needs and specifications.
Classification of optical fiber micro cables:
Classification of fiber optic micro cables is usually done according to different criteria to obtain different types of cables to determine the specific needs of customers and applications. Micro fiber optic cables can be classified based on the following features:
Number of fibers: Fiber optic micro cables may have different number of optical fibers. They are usually categorized by the number of fibers (such as 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, etc.).
Type of protection: This classification may be based on the type of protection against environmental factors such as resistance to water, moisture, dust, and mechanical damage (such as shock and pressure).
Applications: Fiber optic micro cables are categorized based on specific applications such as indoor, outdoor, commercial, industrial, communication networks, data centers, surveillance equipment, Internet of Things (IoT), etc.
Connectors and terminals: The type of connectors installed on the cable and the terminals used can be a criterion for classification.
Internal structure: The precise combination of fibers and different layers inside the cable is also used for classification.
Note that the classification of optical fiber micro cables may also be done based on the standards and specific technical specifications of the manufacturer. To choose the most suitable cable for your needs, pay attention to the exact specifications of each cable and your needs.
What is the difference between microcable and fiber optic cable?
Micro cable and fiber optic cable are basically two types of fiber optic cable and there are differences in their features:
Size and diameter:
Micro cable: Micro fiber optic cables are usually smaller in size and diameter. This small size makes them suitable for installation in limited environments and small spaces.
Conventional fiber optic cable: Conventional fiber optic cables have a larger diameter and are usually used for other communications.
Number of fibers:
Micro cable: Micro cables usually have a limited number of optical fibers, usually less than 24 fibers.
Conventional fiber optic cable: Conventional fiber optic cables can have a large number of optical fibers, for example 144 fibers or even more.
Applications:
Micro Cable: Micro cables are commonly used for installation in confined environments, surveillance equipment, Internet of Things (IoT) and applications that require precise cabling space.
Conventional fiber optic cable: Conventional fiber optic cables are used for high-speed data transmission communications, mobile phone equipment, data centers, public network communications and more extensive applications.
Flexibility:
Micro cable: Micro cables are flexible and can be easily installed in winding environments.
Regular fiber optic cable: Regular fiber optic cables are also flexible, but you should note that their larger diameter may create limitations in some environments.
The main differences between micro cable and fiber optic cable are the size and diameter, number of fibers, applications and flexibility. The choice between these two types of cables depends on the needs and application environment.
How to install fiber optic micro cable:
Installation of optical fiber micro cable requires special equipment and skills. These general tips for installing micro fiber optic cable can be helpful, but note that each project may require specific skills and equipment:
Planning: First, you need to plan the project carefully. which includes determining the installation route, equipment required, number of fibers and connections, and similar matters.
Equipment: equipment such as micro fiber optic cables, connectors, cabling tools, cleaning and measuring kits, boxes
Shooting micro fiber optic cable
Shooting in the field of optical fiber cabling means testing and measuring the performance and efficiency of optical fiber cables and connections. This process is very important to ensure the correct transmission of data from one end of the cable to the other and to check the fiber optic signals.
Some micro cable shooting steps include the following:
Cleaning: Before shooting, usually the connectors and ends of fiber optic cables should be carefully cleaned to remove any dust or oil particles.
Connecting cables: If you need to connect two ends of the cable, make these connections carefully using special connectors.
Use of test equipment: for shooting, from optical fiber test and measurement equipment such as
OTDR (Optical Time-Domain Reflect meter) and OPM (Optical Power Meter) are used.
Equipment Setup: Adjust the test equipment to the most appropriate settings for your micro fiber optic cable.
Test and measure: Test and measure fiber optic signals along the length of the micro cable using test equipment. which includes measuring signal loss, measuring cable length, identifying errors and determining their location, and many other parameters.
Troubleshooting: If problems are found while shooting, they usually need to be fixed and retested.
Reporting and Logging: Shooting results should be recorded and reported to help verify the performance of the fiber optic cable.
Note that shooting fiber optic cables is important and vital and should be done by skilled and experienced people. If you need to shoot fiber optic cables, it is better to refer to experienced technicians and specialists.
Micro duct in optical fiber:
Micro Duct is a type of small and flexible tube that is used as a protective device for cables, especially fiber optic cables. These pipes are mainly used for cabling and cable protection in basements, cable ducts, and underground facilities.
The important features of micro duct are:
Small size: Micro ducts have a small diameter that allows multiple micro pipes to be installed in one larger pipe.
Flexibility: These tubes are flexible and allow easier cabling and replacement of cables.
Protection: Micro ducts act as a protective layer for cables and protect them from environmental factors and possible hazards such as pressure, water, dust.
Increasing capacity: Using micro ducts as a means to increase the capacity of fiber optic networks and better management of cables is very useful.
Micro ducts are commonly used in telecommunications, communication networks, and underground installations as a way to improve flexibility and speed in the cabling and installation of fiber optic cables.
Micro ducts are very useful as a way to better structure and protect fiber optic cables in various environments, helping to increase productivity and reduce costs.
