The Defining Advantages Of A Fibre Optic Cable Installation

By Karina Frost


The continuous transition from analog to digital comes with the crucial and dire need for reliable transmission of video signals in the current and future coexistence. Numerous legacy installations have however, been using coaxial cables to handle images from cameras to recording or both. Nevertheless, coaxial transmitters pose its own inherent limitations, including signal degradation, restricted transmission distance and interference. In order to meet these needs, fiber optic is the way out. This article thus appreciates the benefits of fibre optic cable installation and performance, especially in Vancouver, BC.

To begin with, it is important to note that fiber optics is not a new innovation. The system dates back in 1980 in Chicago where the first link was installed. However, by the year 1980, commercial and long distance links were in use, with the fiber optic data links especially for RS-232 being available. From then, the system of communication has become rampant and dominant in the communication infrastructure.

The immunity and reliability resulting from the installation is something worthwhile. Fiber offers profoundly reliable data transmission. The transmission is entirely immune to numerous environmental factors which affect the copper wire. This emanates from the fact that its core is composed of glass insulator that prevents any electric current from flowing through it. It is thus immune to radio interference (EM/RFI), electromagnetic interference, impedance problems, and crosstalk. Fiber also comes handy as less susceptible to temperature fluctuations as opposed copper.

In addition, the LAN backbone has become predominantly fiber-based. For instance, the back-end of many mainframes together with storage area networks is almost totally fiber. The desktop is the only holdout, with currently being a battlefield between fiber contingents and the copper.

The installation also offers exceptional data security. With, the data connector, your data is safe. It does not radiate signals is immensely difficult to tap. When the cable is tapped, it is quite easy to monitor since the transmitter leaks light and causes the entire system to fail. It is thus possible, with the system, to know when an attempt is made to break its physical security.

Select connectors of termination type and style that is appropriate for the application. The connectors have numerous termination methods, some using splicing, with trade-offs in functioning while others use adhesives and polishing. Ensure to discuss them with installers and manufacturers before embarking on the choice.

The optics also offers ease of installation. As opposed to the thicker and more rigid of wire cables, fiber cables are quite easier to install because they are more flexible and smaller. In addition, they can run along the same routes as electric wires but without picking up excessive noise. The best approach to simplifying the installation is the existing building is to run the transmitters through the ventilation ducts. Due to their light weight flexibility and small size, fiber optic connectors are easier to be used in portable or temporary installations.

Simply put the service and convenience that comes with this kind of installation is something worth the experience. The optics provides data security, immunity to electromagnetic interference and high bandwidth over long distances. In addition, the communication system eliminates spark hazards, offers ease of installation and entails non-conductive cables.
