Angola Fiber Optic Communication Cable Blowing
More than five hundred meters of 24-pair fiber optic cables from Angola Telecom were vandalized, last weekend, on section 105 between the city of Ondjiva and the municipality of Ombadja, province of Cunene, by unknown individuals. According to fibre optic cable operators, the landslide cut the West Africa Cable System (WACS) and SAT-3, two submarine cables that together serve around 20 countries over thousands of kilometres. There are also concerns that it could take a month before the cables are repaired. This is because both public and private organisations have made major investments in the past ten years. View of Le Plateau and Ebrie Lagoon from the top of the Cathedrale St-Paul in Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), one of the affected countries. Cable installation by using high speed air flow combined with additional mechanical pushing force is called as "blowing or jetting".

Techniques for stripping spiral armor fiber optic cables
This guide provides a complete installation process for armored fiber optic cords, explaining each step from routing and pulling to stripping, cleaning, and testing. It also highlights key differences from standard fiber cables and important precautions to ensure safety and. Without question, good stripping techniques in your fiber optic cable assembly process are imperative. Almost every aspect of fiber optic installation requires specialized tools, for example, strippers, Cutting, and scissors come in many shapes and sizes, each serving a different purpose. Let me explain the details of several commonly used fiber stripper types as follows! 1.

Fiber Optic Connector Insertion Loss Analysis
Insertion Loss is defined as the reduction in optical power between the input and output of a fiber optic link. It is expressed in decibels (dB) and calculated using the formula: IL = –10 log (Pout / Pin) Where: Lower insertion loss values indicate better optical performance. To be able to judge whether a fiber optic cable plant is good, one does a insertion loss test with a light source and power meter and compares that to an estimate of what is a reasonable loss for that cable plant.
