Everything You Need to Know About the 10Gbase Copper Transceiver
No CommentsIf you haven’t heard about 10Gbase technology yet, it consists of communications technology that enables 10-Gigabit Ethernet operations over twisted pair copper cable, and that covers both un-shielded and shielded cable. The 10Gbase cables made of copper offer the appeal of affordability along with great performance, so altogether that’s a pretty [ Continue reading…]
Building Your Own Passive Optical LAN
No CommentsTechnology has massively gotten better over the years and now the standard is to have LAN on commercial facilities. LAN stands for local area network. It is ideal for places where there are many different computers or devices that will be using the same network and link to the server. [ Continue reading…]
Why Are Businesses Switching to Fiber Optic Cables?
No CommentsMany businesses, especially those which depend on high data usage and transmission, have been switching their cabling over to fiber optic cables as they realize all the benefits provided by fiber optic technology. Apart from the nature of business and its built-in appetite for data, another reason for this trend [ Continue reading…]
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. Utilizing an ultrafast laser, this probe can perform multiple nonlinear imaging techniques without the need for tissue staining. In other [ Continue reading…]
WHY FIBER OPTICS ARE THE FUTURE
No CommentsFor more than 100 years now, the United States has relied on metal wires to send information by transmitting electricity. However, as the country has evolved, it has become clear that metal wires are simply not going to be able to keep up with all of the signals being sent [ Continue reading…]
WHEN WAS FIBER OPTIC CABLE INVENTED?
No CommentsThere are many people who believe fiber optics are the future of communication in this country. And for good reason. Fiber optic cables are currently being used to send voice messages, images, videos, and more at the speed of light. The fiber rods are made of glass or plastic and have the [ Continue reading…]
CRIMINALS ATTACKING FIBER OPTIC CABLES
No CommentsThere are criminals out there; we suppose that terrorists may be a better choice of words, as they attack fiber optic cables in California. Just recently, and for the 11th time within a year, a purposefully severed fiber optic cable was found in the San Francisco Bay Area, according to this article [ Continue reading…]
