Optical Fiber Core
No CommentsThe core of a conventional optical fiber is a cylinder of glass or plastic that runs along the fiber’s length. The core is surrounded by a medium with a lower index of refraction, typically a cladding of a different glass, or plastic. Light travelling in the core reflects from the core-cladding boundary [ Continue reading…]
Why Use POE?
No CommentsSpecifying Power over Ethernet brings many advantages to an installation: Time and cost savings – by reducing the time and expense of having electrical power cabling installed. Network cables do not require a qualified electrician to fit them, and can be located anywhere. Flexibility – without being tethered [ Continue reading…]
How Does POE Work?
No CommentsNetwork cables, such as Cat 5e and Cat 6, comprise eight wires arranged as four twisted pairs. In 10 and 100BASE-T Ethernet, two of these pairs are used for sending information, and these are known as the data pairs. The other two pairs are unused and are referred to as the [ Continue reading…]
A FASCINATING USE OF FIBER OPTICS
No CommentsFiber optics are used in a variety of ways to improve people’s lives. One such way is the recent development of a handheld fiber optic probe that’s used to diagnose cancer.
