  • Ribbon optical cables require specialized fusion splicers

    Ribbon optical cables require specialized fusion splicers

    Quick answer: Use a ribbon fusion splicer for cables with 12+ fibers in ribbon format -- backbone, data center, and central office work. Ribbon cable can be spliced more rapidly by using mass fusion splicing technique. Fusion splice is a junction of two or more optical fibers that have been melted together. With some background into the technology, the network planner/technician can make informed decisions to speed up. Fusion splicing may be done one fiber at a time or a complete fiber ribbon from ribbon cable at one time. Fusion splicing machines are mostly automated tools that require you preset the splicing parameters or choose factory.

  • What is CPR certification for optical fiber cables

    What is CPR certification for optical fiber cables

    The Construction Products Regulation (CPR) was introduced on July 1st, 2017, mandating that all non-fire performance cables used as permanent fixtures in buildings across the EU must be assessed for fire safety. To legally install permanent cabling infrastructure within the European Union, obtaining CPR cable certification is an absolute mandatory requirement. Understanding the relationship between chemical material properties, such as LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), and legal Euroclass fire ratings is. The CPR establishes a unified approach for the assessment and marketing of construction products in the EU. The EU has approved New Approach Notified and Designated Organisations (NANDO) test laboratories which must be used to provide the classification of the “reaction to fire” of the cable using fire test methods specified in EN 50399.
