Fiber Optic CABLING
Many types of cabling go into making a network properly function. This is especially true of businesses with a lot of different types of equipment, such as video, audio, and more. The right type of cabling varies depending on the needs for data transfer and equipment. Fiber optic cabling works best for businesses that have a lot of data being transferred, especially over long distances.
What is Fiber Optic Cabling?
Ethernet and other types of cables form a path for data. However, fiber optic cable is constructed of glass strands slightly thicker than human hair and covered by a casing. Amazingly, fiber optic cables transfer data in the form of light. While there are other physical differences, the real point is the capability differences with fiber optic cabling.
How Does Fiber Optic Cabling Perform Compare to Copper Cabling?
As mentioned above, fiber optic cables are primarily superior regarding transfer loads, distance, and speeds. For example, copper cabling can transfer data at ideal speeds for around 100m, after which it will lose momentum and become much less consistent. Fiber optic cables, on the other hand, can maintain these speeds for around 500m-2km and can handle a much larger data load. Extensive data makes fiber optic cable the ideal choice for businesses that send and receive a lot of data throughout the day and those with large buildings where data needs to travel quite some distance.
