Fiber optic networking can be a daunting undertaking, but it really is not as difficult as it seems. Understanding factors such as fiber modes, fiber launch power, receive sensitivity, fiber cable attenuation, and fiber budgets will make your fiber networking installation projects run much smoother and more efficiently. Even though vendors try to simplify the task of calculating maximum fiber distances and signal losses for you, in reality we do not have all of the variables necessary to accurately provide such distance and loss specifications for your specific installation. Working with fiber is far less complex than it seems. Termination and splicing techniques, and the new Small Form Factor connector and termination products have cut down significantly on the problems that once plagued fiber specialists. Within the next couple years it is expected that the costs for integrating fiber will be at par with Cat-5 or above cabling.
