Wiring: Fiber Optics
The step up from conventional copper wiring
Fiber Optics refers to the technology associated with the transmission of information as light impulses along a glass, plastic or fiber wire.
Optic Fiber wiring is now the more popular form of wiring for long-distance lines. Fiber Optics transfer more information and are less affected by electromagnetic interference. However, fiber optics require more protection than the conventional copper wiring because of the more common glass optical fibers. Therefore special methods are required for splicing fibers and connecting them to other equipment. There are several reasons for choosing a fiber optic system over a traditional copper wire system.
Benefits of Fiber Optics:
Non-Conductivity: Since optical fiber has no metallic properties, it offers complete electric isolation.
Eliminates Ground Loops.
Immune to EMI (electromagnetic interference), RFI
(radio frequency interference), and Lightning.
Extended Range: Multimode systems can reach up to 2 kilometers.
Singlemode systems can reach up to 20+ kilometers.
No active or passive processing.
Other Perks:
Small diameter and light weight.
In many cases is more affordable than copper systems.
Smart way to address increasing bandwidth demands.
