Why are fiber-optic systems revolutionizing telecommunications? Compared to conventional metal wire (copper wire),  optical fibers  are:   Less expensive - Several miles of optical cable can be made cheaper than equivalent lengths of copper wire. This saves your provider (cable TV, Internet) and you money.   Thinner - Optical fibers can be drawn to smaller diameters than copper wire.   Higher carrying capacity - Because optical fibers are thinner than copper wires, more fibers can be bundled into a given-diameter cable than copper wires. This allows more phone lines to go over the same cable or more channels to come through the cable into your cable TV box.   Less signal degradation - The loss of signal in optical fiber is less than in copper wire. Light signals - Unlike electrical signals in copper wires, light signals from one fiber do not interfere with those of other fibers in the same cable. This means clearer phone conversations or ...

An  armored fiber patch cable  is a fiber optic patch cable with stainless armor inside the cable jacket to protect the central unit of the cable. It is considered to be an advanced or structures improved fiber optic patch cable. Because of the special structures that the armored fiber optic patch cable has, it makes the armored fiber patch cord shares some special features compared with the standard fiber patch cables, which can be listed below:   Armored fiber optic patch cable retain all the features of standard patch cord, but they are much more strong and flexible.

A transmission medium is required to carry every type of information that travels from source to destination. Cables and connectors are used for transmitting data along a channel. A structured cabling system is the foundation of every business network. Cabling provides connectivity between servers, computers, and other network devices. Hence cables and connectors are part and parcel of each other. Transmission media used can be wired or wireless. In wired transmission, cables are used for transferring signals whereas in wireless transmission, electromagnetic waves are used to transmit data from one device to another. There are three types of cables used in wired transmission namely twisted pair cables, coaxial cables and fiber optic cables.   Twisted pair cables are used for transmitting data in small areas. These cables are further divided into two types. Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) and Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP). RJ45 connector is used for connecting UTP cables. UTP is fu...

Streaming through the Facebook timeline relentlessly, chatting away with customer care executives and processing important information. When you indulge into these activities, do you ponder over questions like, “What powers the internet?” and “What enables you to interact with call center executives in a glitch free way?”   Once you start pondering over these questions, you think of a network. The one that enables you to conduct these activities seamlessly. And what powers this network? Fiber Optic Cables – the thin strands made from molten silica glass. They process the information, convert it into light and transmits the data for you.   Through today’s blog, we will acquaint you with the multiple ways in which  Fiber Optic Cables  benefit you. So, let us plunge in:   Excellent Internet Connection When we talk about internet connection, the first thing that comes to our mind is; huge amount of data exchange. During the initial days of advent of i...

Internet connectivity over an optical cord has become a precious standard for fast and high-quality data transmission. This technology is relatively new. This new nature of it can leave some in a dilemma. Some would even be unwilling to invest in it. Some would still prefer go old school and use convention network cables.   Over the years, with the technical progress, even conventional cable has risen to new horizons. But, which technology is better? Both copper and glass or optical cords have their benefits. Both have unique features. If something is better for others does not necessarily make it better for you. So, the right question to ask is which means would suit your business?   Fiber Optics Cable The conventional copper wires transmit data via electricity. Fiber wire relies on light. It does not transmit data through the flow of electrons. This enables much faster internet connection. In fact, it also enables handling of a higher bandwidth. Sometimes, even du...

When it comes to having a robust network infrastructure,  Fiber Optic cables  are the best choice. And if you have zeroed upon this choice, it is important that you undertake the task properly. If the cables are mediocre and cheap, they are sure to give troubles like faulty performance, hazardous environment, and low performance.   Hence, you must invest into superior quality fiber optic cables. Below given are the reasons as to why you should do so:   Offer Fast Connections Slow internet speeds are one of the biggest issues that people face. This majorly happens they tend to lose signals due to poor quality cables. If you keep using mediocre quality cables, the network speeds are sure to suffer. Moreover, you might lose customers and as they might look out for other service providers.   At places like US, the fiber optic patch cords are faster and more reliable than other broadbands. This ensures data transmission without any glitches and enablin...

Fiber optic cables  are capable of supporting most of the world’s internet telephone system, and cable television. They contain strands of glass fibers inside an insulated case. They support the long distance, high performing data, and telecommunications operations. These cables are capable to provide higher bandwidth which can transfer data over longer distances in a matter of minutes.   Throughout the years when fiber cables faced a revolutionary period, it became a bit tricky to consider the situations where you need to adopt these cables. Let’s go through a list of considerations which help you to decide when is the correct time to upgrade to fiber optic cables.   New Projects: If you have your networking system built under copper system, it makes more sense to stick to the existing system. But there comes one point when it might become more cost effective to use fiber. At this juncture, a cost-benefit analysis helps you determine when to use fiber optic ca...

With the technological advancements & increasing internet speed raises a question as to whether to use traditional copper as the physical interconnector or upgrade to fiber to support these higher speeds.   In this blog post, we are going to see the main difference and consequences of using both on the same platform.   Size And Space: The main difference will be fluctuation in size and weight. Everyone has seen a traditional Cat5/Cat6 and a fiber cable. The clear difference here is that a duplex fiber optic cable provides 25 percent space savings and 50 percent weight savings over shielded bulk cat5e cable. Moreover, optical fiber cables are lighter, thinner, and more efficient than their copper counterparts. However, it is important to note that fiber cables are a bit more fragile and require special tools to terminate connections.   Transmission Speed: Traditional Cat5 twisted pair copper cables support a transmission rate of 100 Megabits per second...

The basic definition of patch cables means an electronic cable which connects electronic devices. It allows the transmission of data between them. There are different types of patch cables in the market with fiber optic patch cables being one of the types. Other types include microphone, headphones, RCA, and ethernet.   Fiber optic patch cable , cord or often known as optical jumper, is a fiber cable terminated with fiber optic connectors (LC, SC, MTRJ, ST, and more) at each of their ends.
