Application Note Fiber Connectivity 3 Fiber Cable – Propagation Modes – Multi-mode Multiple modes travel through the fiber Modes enter in different angles and therefor travel in different speeds through the fiber Modal Dispersion and reflection losses limit the maximum length of multi mode fiber cables Travels fasterTravels slower Different modes

Application Note Fiber Connectivity 4 Fiber Cable – Propagation Modes – Single-mode Ony one mode travels through the fiber No modal dispersion or reflection losses -> longer distances possible core cladding

Application Note Fiber Connectivity 5 Fiber Cable – Water Peak Attenuation depends on wavelength High attenuation for short and long wavelengths Absorped water in productions process causes attenuation peak = Water Peak 3 windows for optical transmission with low attenuation Rayleigh Infrared 1. window 850nm 2. window 1300nm 3. window 1550nm O-H-Absorption

Application Note Fiber Connectivity 6 Fiber Cable – Water Peak Low-Water-Peak-Fiber Improved production process with nearly no water improves attenuation

Application Note Fiber Connectivity 7 Fiber Cable – Attenuation Insertion Loss (IL)-> Losses on connector / connector – transitions Attenuation of the fiber-> Losses on the fiber path Splice attenuation-> Losses caused by connecting fibers Return Loss (RL)-> Losses on the fibers end / plug connectors Flat PC (=Physical Contact) The ferrules physically contact each other instead of a air gap in between. Reflection: -30 dB PC (=Physical Contact) The ferrules touch only at their cores. Typical Back Reflection: < -40 dB APC (= Angle Physical Contact) The ferrule has a 8° angle which minimizes back reflection. Typical Back Reflection: < -60 dB Typical average attenuation of fiber cables is between 0.25 and 0.35 dB/km.
