Long-Distance Data Transmission
Fibre-optic cables have a much higher capacity to carry data over long distances without signal degradation. Depending on the cable type, wavelength, and network configuration, some fibre optic installations can send data up to 40 km without degradation. Unlike copper cables, fibre optics are also immune to electromagnetic interference from electrical or radio frequency sources. This ensures:
- Reliable and consistent network connectivity
- Optimal performance even in environments with high electromagnetic activity or interference
Enhanced Reliability and Durability
Fibre optic cables are less susceptible to weather conditions, moisture, temperature changes, and electromagnetic interference when compared to copper cables. Additionally, they do not pose fire hazards and are lighter, thinner, and more resistant to pull pressure and breakage when compared to copper cabling. This makes them more durable and less prone to damage.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership
While the initial installation cost of fibre optic cables is higher than copper, their long-term durability reduces the total cost of ownership. Fibre optics are more cost-effective to maintain and require less hardware than copper cables.
Future-Proof Technology
Fibre optic technology is designed to be future-proof. Upgrading your network infrastructure to support future technological advancements is simpler and more cost-effective with fibre optic cables.
