Our amazing range of products serves the networking needs of various industries like Education, Information Technology, the Government, and Hospitality, besides meeting the needs of international clients in India for the Global innovation center. We provide a strong support base for system integrators. The importance and usefulness of a systems integrator cannot be undermined. As compared to offering expensive and unique components, we believe in cost-effective and preconfigured solutions Various tools are required for the installation and maintenance of networking products or their use in system integrators. Why are fiber optic tools important? Tools are extremely important to install, maintain, and troubleshoot networking products. Fiber optic networks are extremely delicate and complex to install, maintain, and troubleshoot. Specific tools need to be used which are meant for a particular purpose to ensure fiber optic cables are not damaged and high performance is achieved. There are different procedures to be adapted in order to get effective results and it is imperative to understand these basic, but golden rules, in order to get the best results. What are the different kinds of fiber optic tools for testing and installation? Splicing Tools There are fiber optics that need to be melted together, for which splicing tools are required. There are different kinds of splicing tools for fiber optics that are available in the market. They are heat oven, fiber splice protection sleeves, fusion splice, optic lever, and many others. Mechanical and fusion splicing are the two kinds of splicing that can be done. Two fiber ends of an optic cable are held together in order to have a light pass from one fiber to another. This kind of process is managed by mechanical tools. Infusion splicing, glass ends of the fiber are fused or welded together to ensure that there is a continuous connection and very little light is lost Fiber Inspection or Fiber Tools Fiber tools are used for the production and troubleshooting of fiber optics, to ensure that they work continuously and effectively. There are various aspects of a cable that can be tested; the amount of power that is being transmitted, breakages, and any other aspect that needs to be checked. There are different kinds of inspection tools that can be used and some of them are faulty locators and optical identifiers. Cleaning Tools In order to transmit light without any obstruction, it is important to ensure that the fiber cables are free from dust, dirt, oil, and other constraints. The main areas that require cleaning are connectors and ferrules. No cables should be touched with bare or naked hands, in order to avoid contamination and damaging of the cables. Alcohol and wipes are the best materials to be used for cleaning. The various kinds of Fiber Optic Tools offered by Siddharsh and their uses: Splicing Machines Splicing Machines like OFS-108, OFS-109, and Fiber Splicing Tool Kits are used for high-speed fiber fusion. Fiber Strippers and Fiber Jacket Strippers These tools are used to remove the jacketing, from 1.6 mm to 3.0 mm. The coating is stripped to expose the fiber cladding. Cutters There are two kinds of Cutters – Fiber Cable Yarn Cutters and Fiber Tubing Cutters. Cutters are used to cut the members inside the Fiber Jackets and the Metal Central Tube. Fiber Optic Adapters They are used to join two fiber optic patch cables together and come with superior low loss performances and high repeatability. Slitters Splicing Machines like OFS-108, OFS-109, and Fiber Splicing Tool Kits are used for high-speed fiber fusion. Splicing Machines 3C3 offers Universal Round Fiber Cable Slitters, Armored Cable Slitters, and Longitudinal Cable Sheath Slitters and is used for jacket removal of PE, PVC, and Rubber High Precision Cleavers They are used to cleave fibers quickly, easily, and effectively and are a perfect aid to any field splicing systems.

Smart Building Networks have many requirements like flexibility, the ability to scale up or down, Power of Ethernet (POE), Cloud applications and support of Internet of Things. The networks in smart buildings need to support a wide range of applications and devices, from communications and telephony to facility management systems, security and access control, wireless access points and IoT devices. Traditionally, cabling in buildings was equipped with a vertical backbone. It rises through the building and branches off wherever a floor converges and then it would run to individual devices. However, If there comes a change in the designated use of space in the building, recabling involves a lot of work like tearing down the walls or adding the ports. So, a new approach was introduced,using pathways and consolidation points on different floors. This approach offers freedom in developing solutions but the designers need to adhere to fixed routes. This has made designing, configuring and reconfiguring networks more easier and suitable for smart buildings. Fibre or copper? Which is best for Smart buildings? Fibre is the best solution wherever the highest speeds and lowest latency are required but not every connection in a building needs the highest possible speed. Over 100m distances, Cat.6A cabling supports speed up to 10GB/s which is sufficient for most in-building applications. Apart from speed and latency, there are other criterias to be considered. One reason why fibre is utilised is because of the fact that it can carry data over considerable lengths whereas copper’s physical resistance means its use is limited to shorter lengths. A Fibre based LAN goes with a number of costly elements like UPS power, floor space, data grounds and cabling closets. Fibre uses fewer electrical components, eliminating potential difficulties related to interference. It doesn’t mean that fibre isn’t affected by other kinds of interference. If light sources are not monochromatic, pulse interference may occur. Copper isn’t excessively troubled by interference. It is very important to take great care when installing copper as well as fibre but copper tends to be more cost effective when it comes to maintenance and rerouting. Copper supports good devices but an All-Fibre Lan would require hardware and equipment upgrades that may boost fibre adoption costs. Therefore, both fibre and copper have their pros and cons depending upon the specific requirements. Fibre and copper solutions will always exist side by side. Each is used in applications where they add good value with a price point that makes sense for the business. Opting for ‘just adequate’ cabling can affect performance, but installing the highest performing cable every inch of the network is costly and pointless. It is always good to consider the cost and efforts related to maintenance, installation configuration and reconfiguration. Taking time to select the perfect type and quality for different parts of the network pays-off in the long run.
