Fibre vs Copper • Fibre versus copper. • When planning a new or upgraded cabling infrastructure, you have two basic choices: fibre or copper. Both offer superior data transmission. The decision on which one to use may be difficult. It will oft...

...Black Box Explains: Fibre Optic Cable • Fibre optic cable is one of the fastest growing transmissions mediums for both new cabling installations and upgrades, including backbone, horizontal and even desktop applications. • The Black Box explain ...

Single-Mode Fibre Optic Cable • Single-Mode Fibre Optic Cable • Multimode fibre cable has multiple modes of propagation—that is, several wavelengths of light are normally used in the fibre core. In contrast, single-mode fibre cable has only on...

...filter strength of fibre optic signal • Attenuators are used with single-mode fibre optic devices and cable to filter the strength of the fibre optic signal. Depending on the type of attenuator attached to the devices at each end of the fibre o...

Pre-Terminated • Fibre Optic • Cable Assembly • Eliminate time-consuming, labour-intensive field termination with custom-made pre-terminated fibre assemblies • The demands of IT professionals in managing data centre challenges where time and money...

Fibre Optic Mode-Conditioning Cable • Fibre Optic Mode-Conditioning Cable • Use Fibre Optic Mode-Conditioning Cable for Gigabit Ethernet longer than 550 meters • You can run Gigabit Ethernet over up to 2-km-long multimode fibre optic cable. Ho...

...vs. Singlemode Fibre • Multimode vs. Singlemode Fibre • Multimode fibre cable has a large-diameter core and therefore has multiple modes of propagation—that is, several wavelengths of light are used in the fibre core. It’s primarily used fo...

Simplex vs. duplex fiber patch cable • Simplex vs. duplex fibre patch cable. • Multimode and single-mode patch cables can be simplex or duplex. • Simplex has one fibre, while duplex zipcord has two fibres joined with a thin web. Simplex (also k...

...Advantages of video on fibre optic cable. • Advantages of fibre optic cable over copper coax cable to transmit video • Superior performance • Fibre cable supports a very high data rate and yields a very low signal loss. So you get sharp, clear vide...
