In this blog, ETU-LINK will introduce the fire rating standards of copper cables. The flame retardant grades of copper cables are divided into four grades: CMX, CM, CMR, and CMP. The minimum is CMX.   The insulation layer of the CMP cable is made of FEP material, and the outer sheath is made of PVC. FEP has strong fire resistance and can endure temperatures as high as 800°C or more before it ...

In optical fiber communication, when optical fiber transmits optical signal, the optical signal will attenuate along the optical fiber transmission path, and the transmission distance is limited by optical fiber attenuation. In order to transmit the signal further, we need to enhance the optical signal. The traditional method of enhancing the optical signal is to use the regenerator, but it has ma...
