Optical fibre can be used as a medium for telecommunication and networking because it is flexible and can be bundled as cables. It is especially advantageous for long-distance communications; little attenuation compared to electrical cables allows long distances to be spanned with few repeaters.
Additionally, the light signals propagating in the fibre can be modulated at rates as high as 40 Gb/s, and each fibre can carry many independent channels, each by a different wavelength of light.
Save space and ultimately cost:
Over short distances, such as networking within a building, fibre saves space in cable ducts because a single fibre can carry much more data than a single electrical cable.
Noise resistant:
Fibre is also immune to electrical interference, which prevents cross-talk between signals in different cables and pickup of environmental noise.
Hazardous Areas:
Because they are non-electrical, fibre cables can be used in environments where explosive fumes are present, without danger of ignition.
As the costs associated with fibre optic cabling and components has dramatically decreased over the last few years, PW Communications are now in a position to be able to offer highly cost effective fibre solutions, ranging from fibre to the desk, from cabinet to cabinet links or even several cabinet links throughout numerous sites.
All fibre optic cabling is installed and tested in accordance with ISO 11801. And upon completion test results will be submitted to the client, ensuring your peace of mind that your fibre optic cabling will work at the required velocity.
