Advantages of Fibre Optics
1. Fiber Supports Very High Bandwidth Levels
When it comes to bandwidth, no currently
available technology is better than fiber – especially single mode fiber. Fiber optic cables provide more bandwidth to carry more data
than copper cables of the same diameter.
2. Fiber is Inherently Secure
Fiber cables do
not produce signals; connecting taps to a fiber cable to interrupt data
transmission is extremely difficult.
3. Fiber is Intrinsically Safe
Because
electricity isn’t involved with transferring data (data is transferred via
light instead), the benefits of fiber include the fact that it’s safe to
handle.
4. Fiber Withstands Water and Temperature Fluctuations
Fiber optic cable isn’t impacted by temperature changes, bad weather or
moisture. For example, if it comes into contact with rainwater, communication
goes on as usual. If lightning strikes a fiber cable, the surge of electricity
will not be propagated because the fiber cable doesn’t contain any metallic components.
5. Fiber is Immune to EMI
Placing lots of
electronic cables (which carry electric current) in a dense environment can
create crosstalk between cables – which causes performance issues and
data-transmission interruption.
