How to extend the lifespan of fiber optic sensors
Home / How to extend the lifespan of fiber optic sensors
Researchers are experimenting with advanced polymers and nanomaterials to make fibers more resistant to wear and tear. The lifecycle of fiber optic products involves multiple stages, from initial design and manufacturing to deployment, maintenance, and eventual upgrades or replacement. Wireless, DOCSIS, and DSL technologies have required continuous outdoor infrastructure upgrades to increase speeds and capacity, and carriers have recognized the value of fiber as these incremental approaches typically include more optical fiber deeper into the network toward the subscriber.
