One of today’s most popular mediums for fresh cabling installations and existing network upgrades, fiber optic cables are highly recommended for different types of horizontal, backbone, as well as desktop applications. Fiber optic installations offer a great many advantages over traditional copper cabling systems, particularly in enterprise and business environments. The following are only some of the best benefits of fiber optic cabling Installations:
Higher bandwidth capabilities. Fiber has a standardized performance capacity of up to 10 Gbps and higher, which means it can provide significantly more bandwidth than copper. More bandwidth equates to greater fidelity in carrying more information compared to copper wire. However fiber speeds, are still dependent upon the type of cable used in the system. Single-mode fiber provides the greatest bandwidth.
Greater speed and distances. Fiber optic signals are made of light. This means there is very little loss during transmission, thus enabling data to travel at higher speeds and move between greater distances. Fiber also does not have a 100-meter distance limitation as non-boosted UTP (unshielded twisted pair) copper cables do. Fiber distances, on the other hand, depend on the type of cable, network, and wavelength. Distances can range from 550 meters for 10 Gbps multimode cables to 40 kilometers for single-mode cables.
Better security. Data is also a lot safer with fiber cables because they don’t radiate signals and are extremely difficult to tap. It is also very easy to monitor breaches when tapping occurs because these cables leak light, which also causes the entire system to fail. If so much as an attempt is made to break the security of your fiber system physically, you will know it. Fiber networks also allow you to put all hardware and electronics in a central location, instead of maintaining several wiring closets throughout the building.
