Is Fibre Optic good for network speed only?
No Commentsby Fiber-MART.COM Higher Bandwidth – longer range, better network speed Fibre optic cables are made of glass threads which transmit data at the speed of light in glass (around 180,000 to 200,000 km/s…!). Because the speed of light is the fastest speed known, data is transmitted faster than via copper wires [ Continue reading…]
What Makes Optical Fibre Immune To EMI?
No Commentsby Fiber-MART.COM Optical Fibre Is Immune To EMI Fibre optic cables are non-metallic… they transmit signals using pulses of light in glass threads! As a result, they are immune to Electro-Magnetic Interference and Radio Frequency Interference. In other terms, the integrity of signals is not affected by electrical noise in the [ Continue reading…]
