Optical fiber connector types: An easy guide
The acronyms SC, LC, FC and ST refer to the most common types of optical connectors in FTTH applications and data networks. As for the PC/UPC/APC terminology, it refers to the type of polishing applied to the optical terminal (ferrule) which makes possible laser light pulses to cross through two optical fibers.

The power measurement of a digital channel differs from its vertical scale in the spectrum analyzer. Why?
The power of a digital channel is calculated using algorithms that evaluate the received energy through its entire bandwidth. The result of these calculations will differ from the vertical scale of the graph depending on the bandwidth of the signal that is being measured. These values will be more different as the bandwidth increases. How is this measurement calculated? How are we doing at PROMAX to guarantee and improve its accuracy?
