Fibre Optics

The installation of fibre optic cable is the main backbone link between equipment rooms and telecommunications closets, of all major fibre optic network solutions, campus network solutions, and where there is a need for large network data transfer within data storage centres.

5 Facts about Fibre Optics

Fibre optics have a much greater bandwidth. Installing fibre optic cables can drastically improve the speed of your data transfer rate i.e. your bandwidth. Unlike fibre, copper and TDM technology is restricted in what it can do as its primary purpose and original design was for the transmission of voice calls.

You won’t suffer burns from handling fibre optics. Unlike most wiring in our homes and work spaces, fibre optics do not conduct electricity. Instead, they transmit currents using light. Light passes through the cable in the same way it would if you were to shine a torch down a narrow shaft. Cladding within the pipe ensures that the beam remains flexible and can travel around bends without any light being absorbed from the core. This is what physicists refer to as the principle of total reflection.

Fibre optics aren’t affected by changes in the weather. Changes in temperature, unprecedented rainfall or thunder and lightning storms do not affect the light signals being transmitted in the same way it does in ADSL or other traditional cable lines. In addition to the obvious speed advantages, fibre is also resistant to storms and other forms of electrical resistance than can occasionally plague electrical based tech.

Fibre optics are environmentally advantageous. It is widely agreed that fibre optics are more energy efficient and sustainable than traditional cabling. Metal wiring has a restricted life cycle because of its limited tolerance to electromagnetic currents. Over time the cabling deteriorates until the point at which it needs to be replaced. On the other hand, the lifecycle of fibre optics is infinite and upgrades to the optics can be performed and implemented without ever having to modify the cable.

Fibre optics do not radiate electromagnetic energy and therefore any information being transferred cannot be easily interfered with. The only way for hackers to glean digital data would be to cut into the fibre cabling meaning that fibre optics is one of, if not the, safest ways to send sensitive information online. Data can be transmitted through fiber optic cabling faster than traditional cabling due to increased capacity.
