Problem solving is common to all engineering work. The problem may involve quantitative or qualitative factors; it may be physical or economic; it may require abstract mathematics or common sense. Of great importance is the process of creative synthesis or design, putting ideas together to create a new and optimum solution.

Cable-Tec Expo, SCTE's flagship event, has been rebranded as 'TechExpo' starting with this fall's show. It's one in a string of examples in which 'cable' has been cast aside amid broader changes cascading across the industry.

Tesla has confirmed that it is working on a NACS to NACS extension cable to fix the issues with Supercharging different electric vehicles with different charge port locations.

Internet connectivity between parts of Asia, Africa, and Europe suddenly slowed on February 24 when three undersea cables were damaged in the Red Sea.

In the 1950s, there were four television networks in the United States. Because of the frequencies allotted to television, the signals could only be received in a "line of sight" from the transmitting antenna. People living in remote areas, especially remote mountainous areas, couldn't see the programs that were already becoming an important part of U.S. culture.

A LAN cable, or Ethernet cable, is a physical cable that connects devices to a local area network (LAN). LAN cables usually connect computers, printers, routers, and other network devices. They are also used to connect gaming consoles and other devices that require a wired connection. LAN cables are made up of four pairs of copper wires twisted together to reduce interference from other electronic devices. The ends of the Lan Cable are terminated with RJ-45 connectors, which connect the cable to network devices.

With a plethora of aerial fiber cable products on the market today it can be difficult to differentiate and fully appreciate why one construction is or isn’t more suitable than another.This blog aims to outline the different options once you’ve decided to go down the aerial route – for a more detailed look at the factors affecting the choice of aerial deployments take a look at this previous post.Taking a very broad overview of the aerial installation solutions presently available, there are two distinct approaches: either installing fiber into an aerial drop tube or microduct, or deploying a stand-alone self-supporting cable.Normally the fiber-in-duct approach will require two installation phases, whereas the self-supporting aerial cable route can be deployed in one stage. From this you’d assume that the self-supporting cable solution reduces labor costs.

Overhead fiber optic cable is an optical cable installed on poles. One of the most advantage for the overhead fiber optic cable is that it can use the original overhead wire and pole infrastructure. This overhead laying method can save a lot of construction costs and shorten the construction period.Since the overhead fiber optic cables are hung on electric poles, they are required to be able to adapt to various natural environments. They are generally used for long-distance lines, and overhead fiber cables are also suitable for dedicated network optical cable lines or some local special sections.

This system combines innovations in the fields of robotics and fiber-optic cable design to dramatically lower the cost of deploying fiber by utilizing electrical infrastructure. While there have been tremendous improvements in the strength and size of a fiber strand, as well as the amount of data a strand can carry, there has not yet been a widely applicable solution for reducing the cost of fiber construction. Since the cost of deploying fiber comes almost entirely from construction, this was the area we wanted to address.If successful, we believe this technology will allow fiber to effectively and sustainably be deployed within a few hundred meters of much of the world’s population. We expect to see technology trials of this fiber deployment system next year.

Aerial fiber optic cable refers to a kind of fiber optic cable that is designed and used for outside plant (OSP) installation between poles by being lashed to a wire rope messenger strand with a small gauge wire. Generally speaking, they are usually made of heavy jackets and strong metal or aramid strength members. Adopting aerial fiber optic cables, the aerial construction will allow the installers to reuse the existing pole infrastructure without digging up other roads to bury cables or ducts, and will also save the capital expenditure for the network providers to some degree.

The first thing you’ll need to do is find a fiber internet service provider in your area. There are a few ways you can do this — the fastest way is just to search “fiber internet near me.” This search should return a list of providers near you who offer fiber internet service. Next, choose a provider you’d like to work with. CenturyLink offers Fiber Gigabit plans in many of our service areas nationwide, and we are continuously expanding.

Risk of cable damage: Fiber optic cables are delicate and vulnerable to excessive pulling forces. Improper pulling techniques can cause stress on the cable, leading to signal loss or even breakage.Reduced network performance: Cable damage or improper installation can result in signal degradation, affecting the overall network performance.Increased installation time and costs: If the cable gets damaged during the installation, it will require additional time and resources to repair or replace, leading to increased costs and delays in project completion.

When there are telegraph poles between buildings, steel wire rope can be set up between buildings and poles, and optical cable could be thus tied on it; if there are no telegraph poles between buildings, but the distance is about 50m, optical cable can also be directly set up between buildings with steel wire rope.

When you walk on the street, have you noticed at the fiber cables hanging on the poles overhead? These cables are commonly called as aerial fiber cables, which are widely used for outside plant (OSP) installation on poles. Aerial fiber cables are designed to accommodate the severe environment preventing the destruction of the nature and man-made damage or theft. There are also different types of aerial fiber optic cables. This article will describe the common installation ways and things to notice during installation.

Fiber optic aerial cables are used in telecommunication networks that are installed on poles, towers, or other structures above the ground. Aerial fiber optic networks are designed to provide high-speed internet, television, and telephone services to homes and businesses. These are often used in rural or suburban areas where it is impractical or too expensive to bury cables underground. They are also commonly used in urban areas where there are already existing poles and infrastructure to support the installation of these networks.

When using manual traction, manually push the fiber optic cable disk gradually release the fiber optic cable, and then every other pole to set a person on the pole for auxiliary traction (if necessary, in the corner of the pole is equipped with a guide pulley). Gradually tighten the traction rope at the traction end, so that the fiber optic cable is slowly released. In order to fully guarantee the safety of optical fiber, cable lines in the cable end, cable end and cable traction head, should be set up 3 contact phone, and always keep contact smooth. When the single disk cable is long, generally divided into two releases: that is, after the release of the first half of the disk, the inverted on the spot, "8" word, and then to the other direction of the release of the second half of the disk.

However, maintaining the integrity of these networks is essential to ensure optimal performance. One significant challenge faced by network operators is signal loss, which can significantly impact the quality of service. In this article, we will explore the role of aerial construction in preventing fiber optic signal loss and its importance in maintaining network efficiency and reliability.

Aerial cable types are typically used for outdoor aerial installation on poles. Its characteristic lies in its design, which is structured according to its installation environment. Since these cables are installed outside, aerial fiber optic cables are strong enough to withstand natural calamities and man-made damage or theft. Aerial cables are mainly used at the secondary trunk level and below. This type of cable is helpful for flat terrain or low-lying areas prone to fewer fluctuations.The installation method of aerial cables is simple to implement. They can utilize the existing overhead lines on the poles outside on the roads. This leads to shorter construction periods and a reduction in construction costs.

Several years ago, I received a phone call from OSHA asking me about aerial fiber optic cable installation. The concern was based on the recent electrocution deaths of two installers working with all-dielectric self-supporting (ADSS) cables on utility poles with a mixture of high-voltage and telecom cables. In both cases, the installers were attaching a type of fixture that was just a guide for ADSS cable to a pole.If you are not familiar with ADSS cable, it is a special type of lightweight outside plant aerial cable designed for very high-tensile loads so it can be installed without a separate steel messenger to support it. It can be installed over very long spans, up to several kilometers in some cases, making it popular for use in rugged terrain to run between poles or towers, across rivers, canyons or other areas where supports cannot be easily installed.
