Fibre Optic Cabling
Fibre optic cables are long strands of optically pure glass or plastic as fine as a human hair. They can transmit digital information over long distances with minimal distortion. Fibre optic cables are used for telecommunications because signals travel faster and with less loss than with traditional metal wires.
Bandwidth – Fibre optic cables have a greater capacity (bandwidth) than copper wires.
Security – Optical communication can’t be tapped as easily as electrical transmission
Speed – fibre optic cable networks operate at a much higher speed
Maintenance – fibre optic cables are less expensive to maintain
