Slim or Standard loose tube cables: What is best for your fiber optic installation?
Fiber optic installations have come a long way in the last 50 years. The need to adapt to constantly-changing communication environments has created new ways in which fiber-based connections and loose tube cables are designed and manufactured depending on the needs of a specific outdoor installation. FTTX networks are unique. They are different from one another, depending on the final destination in which data will be transmitted and the outside environments it will be carried on. FTTA, FTTB, FTTC, FTTH, FTTN,...

How electricity affects ADSS cables? The tracking effect and corona discharge
When talking about self-supporting aerial installations, one of the most common applications for long-distance transmission is the laying of fiber optic cables in high-voltage towers. But the lines in high-voltage towers usually present a great problem, commonly seen in equipment that handles high electrical voltages: the tracking effect.

The Importance of Rodent Protection in Fiber Optic Cables
In August 2011, Level 3 Communications reported that 17% of the damage to their 84,000-mile fiber optic cable network was done by squirrels.In the same year, Time Warner Cable reported that they suffered heavy damage to fiber optic cables: squirrels chewed through their lines and made them replace 87 miles, incurring hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses. One of the most constant dangers in fiber optic cables today is being exposed to rodents. The characteristic trait of these mostly small...
