  • If you have fiber optic broadband you don t need a router right

    If you have fiber optic broadband you don t need a router right

    You don't need a special router, per se, but you do need one that can handle the speed fiber provides. If you're paying for gigabit fiber service, make sure your router supports at least gigabit Ethernet ports and dual-band or tri-band WiFi (like WiFi 5 or WiFi 6). No—fiber internet replaces the modem with an ONT (Optical Network Terminal) that hands off Ethernet to your router. Plug your router into the ONT for Wi-Fi. If your ISP supplies a combo gateway, enable bridge/ONT mode to use your own router and avoid double NAT. This ONT will translate the optical signal from the service provider into a digital signal which can be read by the router or device connected to it. Fiber internet doesn't. The short answer is no – fiber internet doesn't need a modem. Think of the ONT as a high-tech bridge between your ISP and your internal network – but engineered specifically for fiber's unique data.

  • What is the normal transmit receive speed dBm for an optical power meter

    What is the normal transmit receive speed dBm for an optical power meter

    The normal value of an optical power meter is 12dbm. An optical power meter is an instrument used to measure the absolute optical power or the relative loss of optical power passing through a section of optical fiber. The measurement may be optical power from a test source, a transmitter or the input of receiver, measured in dBm, which is "absolute" power - absolute in that it refers to power calibrated to a national standard, so two people testing the same fiber output with different power meters calibrated to. The “m” in dBm refers to the reference power which is 1 milliwatt.
