Why use fiber optic?
fiber optic technology is safe, secure and cost-effective. It has the highest level of reliability and redundancy for transmitting audio, video and data information. The broad bandwidth provided by fiber optics makes it the technology of tomorrow. fiber optics has several advantages over traditional copper cables: fiber optic cables have a much greater bandwidth than copper cables. This means that they can carry more information. fiber optic cables are less susceptible than copper cables to EMI and EMC interference, allowing you to lay it where you need it, without having to worry about the proximity to electrical systems. The transmission distance of copper cabling is 100 metres, compare this to 10km and 2km for single and multimode fiber optics. fiber optic cables are much thinner and lighter than copper cables. Data can be transmitted digitally (the natural form for computer data) rather than analogically. Where information security is the prime concern fiber optic is the only cabli
