What is Differece between 1550nm 1310nm and 850 nm in optical fiber?

1550nm, 1310nm are for single mode fibers, whereas 1310nm, 850nm are for mulimode fibers. The choice of wavelengths to be used can be derived from two of the most important factors, loss, and dispersion. Both of these should be very low for fiber to propagate large amount of information.

What is the difference between 1310nm and 1550nm?

1310nm is more sensitive to alignment problems. 1550nm is more sensitive to fiber bending problems.

Will 1310nm work with 1550nm?

Combining 1310nm with 1550nm for a bi-directional link Since RF over fiber is inherently mono-directional, using a single fiber for a bi-directional link requires the use of more than one wavelength. In this scenario the use of 1310 nm and 1550nm can be combined.

Why 1310nm and 1550nm are the widely used optical communication windows?

the answer is simple: Its due to the absorption characteristics of the glass material used in fibers. This leaves two windows for telecommunication with similarly low absorption: one around 1300nm and another one around 1500nm. For larger wavelengths infrared absorption starts to increase.

Is 850 nm light visible?

The 850 nm wavelength is standard for most applications, including CCTV. The light source does produce a faint red glow at direct exposure, but otherwise it is not visible to the naked eye.

What color is 1310nm?

Blue is the 1310nm module, yellow is the 1550nm module and purple is the 1490nm module. And the color of compatible fiber optic patch cord is yellow. While the color coded bale clasp and color arrow on the label of multimode SFP modules are black and the used fiber optic patch cord is usually orange.

What is nm wavelength?

NOTE: Wavelengths of visible light are measured in nanometers (nm). A nanometer is a unit of length equal to one billionth of a meter.
