Buying Fiber-optic Links

fiber-optic links

Top-level product categories: fiber optics, telecom

Related product categories: fiber-optic networks, optical fiber communication systems and devices, optical data transmission systems, optical line terminals

Fiber-optic links can transmit data at high rates (many Gbit/s) between two points. Single-mode links can bridge distances of many kilometers, while multimode links are typically used for shorter distances. These links are vital for establishing high-speed, reliable communication networks.

Making Good Purchase Decisions

RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers, but also to make good purchasing decisions.

NEW: Structured Decision Process

We recommend that you apply best practice by using the following structured process: Go through the following expandable sections, complete the form and finally come to a purchase decision. You can then print that to a PDF for documenting the process.

(Various further improvements of this feature will come soon.)

1. Learn about the technology

It is important to sufficiently understand the technology before buying.

With its comprehensive resources, RP Photonics helps you to well prepare purchase decisions:

2. Define your requirements

It is important to fully understand and define your requirements before you buy.

We recommend that for your preparation and for inquiries to suppliers, you draw up a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs:

To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying fiber-optic links. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.

Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.

If you check this, the criteria will be inserted into the inquiry mail if below you use a button titled "Get quotation".

If you cannot sufficiently clarify your requirements, you may want to get technical consultancy from RP Photonics.

3. Find suppliers

We suggest three steps:

  • Below, you can find our list of suppliers for fiber-optic links. Use the checkboxes to mark possibly suitable suppliers.
  • The selected suppliers will appear below this list, along with your list of specifications. You can then indicate which specifications they meet according to your research.
  • Based on the results, you can finally choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.

fiber-optic links

The Model 732T/R is purely an analog device. The input signal is converted to a current and used to drive a LED. The output of the LED is detected by a photodetector in the receiver, converted to a voltage then amplified. The gain of the receiver amplifier is tuned to provide transparent transmission.

Cycle GmbH

The PULSE Timing Distribution System (TDS) enables sub-femtosecond distribution of timing signals to remote locations.

PULSE takes advantage of inherently low noise optical pulse train generated by a mode-locked laser (i.e., optical master oscillator (OMO)) and uses it as its timing signal. The pristine OMO timing signal is transferred through fiber-optic links to multiple end stations where transmission delays are detected with attosecond resolution using Cycle’s patented balanced optical cross-correlators (BOC) and actively compensated. If desired, the OMO can be referenced to an optical clock or a microwave standard.

Cycle’s fully automated WAVE Timing Link precisely distributes and transfers high-quality RF clock signals to remote locations, which can be even tens of kilometers away. The WAVE Timing Link is actively stabilized and compensates any changes of optical path length caused by environmental fluctuations.
