Fiber Optic cable termination is the addition of connectors to each optical fiber in a cable. Optimal performance can be achieved by following the correct process for termination of the fiber circuit—a task which requires the use of a wide range of. Fiber optic joints or terminations - where cables are terminated - are made two ways: 1) connectors that mate two fibers to create a temporary joint and/or connect the fiber to a piece of network gear (left) or 2) splices which create a permanent joint between the two fibers (right). Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), which is typically a baseband local area networking (LAN) technology, uses digital signaling. WARNING: Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments (for example, eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes) may pose an eye hazard.
