  • Normal values ​​for fusion spliced ​​optical cables

    Normal values ​​for fusion spliced ​​optical cables

    Quick answer: Industry acceptance threshold for a single fusion splice is 0. 1 dB should be re-done before sealing. Typical splice loss values (the measure of loss in optical power across the splice point) are usually lower for fusion splices (typically less than 0. The total loss in decibels at the fusion splice is given by the following equation, where Pin is the total power incident on the fusion splice and Ptrans is the. Fusion splicing is the process of fusing or welding two fibers together usually by an electric arc. Fusion splicing is the most widely used method of splicing as it provides for the lowest loss and least reflectance, as well as providing the strongest and most reliable joint between two fibers. The question is how much is too much.


  • Hydraulic pipe jacking machine for communication optical cables

    Hydraulic pipe jacking machine for communication optical cables

    This sophisticated equipment utilizes powerful hydraulic systems to push pipes through soil formations, creating tunnels for utility installations including water mains, sewer systems, gas lines, and telecommunications cables. The hydraulic pipe jacking machine represents a revolutionary advancement in underground construction technology, designed to install pipes beneath roads, railways, waterways, and other structures without disturbing surface activities. The pipes are usually concrete pipe, steel pipe. Herrenknecht AVN machines (AVN is short for the German for Automatic Tunnelling Machine Wet) are slurry pressure shields, also known as slurry machines. The company focuses on the field of underground space engineering tunneling equipment and is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the R&D, design, manufacturing.
