A commonly used fiber 1310nm
optic wavelength used in
broadband
telecommunications with a
loss of ~ .33dB/km.
,A commonly used fiber 1550nm
optic wavelength used in
broadband
telecommunications with a
loss of ~ .25dB/km.
Used for optical links of
120km or greater.
Add Drop Multiplexer ADM
A specific type of
multiplexer that allows low
speed signals to be
accessed and removed
from the multiplexed high
speed signal without
demultiplexing the entire
high speed signal.
All Dielectric Self- ADSS
Supporting
A fiber cable that supports
its own weight without the
need for external support.
Contains no conductive
metal elements
American National ANSI
Standards Institute
An organization that
separates LASERs into
various classes that take
into consideration the
operating
wavelength, output power
level, and whether the
laser operates as a
continuous or pulsed light
output.
, Angle Polish Connector APC
An 8 to 12 degree angled
cut end optical connector.
Avalanche PhotoDiode APD
A semiconductor which
converts light to electricity
using the photoelectric
effect. The effect is
amplified with the use of
the electric field.
Advanced Time Division A-TDMA
Multiple Access
Improves on TDMA by
introducing Ingress
Cancellation Filter,
Improved Receive
Equalization, Improved
Burst Acquisition and
Improved Error Correction
for Impulses.
Bit Error Ratio BER
The ratio of errored bits to
the total number of bits
transmitted, received, or
processed. Often
expressed in scientific
notation format.
Community Antenna CATV
Television
Antenna receiver mounted
at the highest point near
the valley.
