Technology

Cabling Aligned with strategic partners — such as Ortronics, Hubbell, CommScope, Berk-Tek, and Siecor — we provide you with an end-to-end solution that will exceed your requirements. SCS excels in meeting the challenge of designing and installing a cabling system that provides the bandwidth for tomorrow's requirements.

Fusion Splicing

Structured Cabling Systems deploys AFL's Fujikura FSM-60S core alignment fusion splicer. The FSM-60S is the fastest field fusion splicer available. We use the FSM-60S for emergency repair services and new backbone installations. Fusion splicing factory terminated pigtails to fiber optic backbone cables provides better results than field terminations. A typical loss for a fusion splice is -.01db to -.03db, depending on the type of fiber that is being spliced. There are two modes of fiber optic cables: single-mode and multi-mode, and there are several types of fiber: non-zero dispersion shifted, dispersion shifted, cutoff shifted, and erbium doped fibers. Single-mode has a 125μm cladding and an 8-9μm core, and multi-mode has a 125μm cladding and various core sizes: 50μm, 62.5μm, 80μm, and 100μm.

The Importance of the Fresnel Zone In order to deliver optimal performance, the Fresnel zone must be clear. The Fresnel zone is an area all around the straight-line connection between the antennas in the shape of an ellipse, inside which the radio waves propagate through the atmosphere. In three dimensions, the shape looks like a football with the points being the antennas at either end. The size of this zone varies depending on the frequency of the signal and the distance between the two antennas. With the importance of this link, we recommend nothing less than 100% Fresnel zone clearance.
