Fiber Optics Technology to Make Communications Systems Faster

Fiber Optic technology uses pulses of light through an optical fiber to transmit information from one place to another. This type of technology has been around since the 1970’s being introduced by Corning Glass among others. While the telecommunications industry has taken a little longer to embrace this type of communication system, Fiber Optics are now in demand because of the ability to deliver information and data at high speeds.

Fiber Optics send optic signals via a transmitter, relaying the signal along the fiber and ensuring that the signal is not weak or distorted. Once the signal is received, it is converted into an electrical signal. Fiber Optics became commercially available in the 1990’s and had been used to install a vast array of networks in cities as well as in transoceanic communication lines. By 2002, Fiber Optic systems were intercontinental, showing an increase in network capacity by 2004.

A good portion of today’s telecommunications carriers use Fiber Optic technology to transmit cable television and telephone signals along with Internet communication. These optical cables are known for being able to handle long distances while offering high speed and low interference thus having an advantage over copper cables.

All Dielectric Self-supporting Aerial Cable

Fiber Optic systems used to be difficult and time consuming to install but that is changing. The cost of using Fiber Optic technology has dropped since 2000 which is making it easier and more cost effective for business and residents to use this type of cabling. Fiber Optic cabling solutions used to be the most expensive avenue for homeowners who were looking for Internet, phone, and cable TV solutions.

This applied to businesses as well who were looking for top of the line communications networks to increase efficiency and data transmission. Prices have since dropped dramatically affording business owners the opportunity to obtain the benefits of high speed Internet without overloaded networks. While most data cabling professionals offer Fiber Optic installation, it is vital that you consult with an experienced installer who has been trained in this type of cable installation.
