Fiber Optics – Some of the Benefits for Datacomm
|
|
Steve Maurer, IME

I can remember when my brother and I would talk long distance.
Across the yard … with two tin cans and a tight string.
Times
have certainly changed, haven't they. And as technology advances,
almost hourly, I'm sure changes will always be with us.

Getting Smarter is Also Getting Cheaper

Remember when you had to get up off the sofa to turn down the lights?
Well, that necessity is quickly disappearing as more of us are turning
to Alexa or Siri to handle the task. Over the past few years, smart
switches and outlets have become prominent wish-list items for many
electrical contractors’ customers.

Fiber Optics – The Saga Continues
|
|
Steve Maurer, IME
|
In a different article, I mentioned a few of the benefits of fiber optic cable as opposed to copper cable for networks. They included:
- High bandwidth levels to handle web conferencing, HD video streaming, and cloud-based applications faster and more reliably
- High signal strength and low attenuation for lower signal degradation
- Resistance to external factors such as corrosion, water damage, and inclement weather
- Resistance to electromagnetic interference
