RE: Fiber optic cable testing per EN 55022:1998 ?

I too was surprised to hear about crosstalk on fiber, but according to at least one vendor it was photon crossover that is then converted to electrons after the photon to electron interface (the optics module receiver). Still not sure how that happens but that is my very minimal understan

Re: Fiber optic cable testing per EN 55022:1998 ?

I had forgotten the terminology, and what Mr. Tarver related about the classes is true, but it is not true that electric or magnetic fields should theoretically be able to interact with a stream of photons. >From: "Peter L. Tarver" >To: "PSTC" >Subject: RE: Fiber optic cable testing per EN 5

RE: Fiber optic cable testing per EN 55022:1998 ?

John, I don't think that your assumption is dangerous at all. I believe that the argument regarding whether the standards require any measurements specific to fiber optic cables has already been answered.The answer is no. There are no tests in EN 55022:1998 designed to measure signal line c

RE: Fiber optic cable testing per EN 55022:1998 ?

You're partially correct, Ken. However, the photon (in quantum mechanics) is the particle that mediates the electromagnetic force; photon also the name given to the particle that is a quantum of electromagnetic energy. Thus, photons are involved as the particle analog to an electromagnetic wave.

While there are VERY good points here, I believe the original issue was the use of the terminology 'telecommunications' port/cable. Although a fiber optic port/cable can be used for telecommunications, I am going to go out on a limb here and assume ( a dangerous word, indeed) that intent was for

Re: Fiber optic cable testing per EN 55022:1998 ?

The answer is independent of frequency, it is the nature of the particle (electron vs. photon) that is key. I have forgotten the terminology, but one type of particle is called a boson, and per my (quite possibly faulty) recollection, bosons do not interact with electromagnetic fields. For exa

RE: Fiber optic cable testing per EN 55022:1998 ?

Chris, some excellent points! My take on this is that a fiber optical cable has a cutoff frequency that is way above the "RF" frequencies we are concerned with. It just won't act as a waveguide for what we consider RF wavelengths. However, I think the optical cable certainly does leak a bit at lig
