Numerous Benefits of Selecting Fiber over Copper
Copper cables are certainly going to be replaced by fiber optic cable because of its various advantages. It is now being used in new cable installations as well as for upgrading the old cable lines.
Benefits of Selecting Fiber Over Copper ď‚Ą
Great bandwidth
Standardized performance of fiber is 10 Gbps. More bandwidth indicates that fiber can transfer more information with great reliability than copper wires. Remember fiber speed depends on the kind of cable used.
Speed & distance
Click icon to add picture Fiber optic signals transmit pulses of light, so losses during transmission are negligible. Data moves at high speeds and great distances. Fiber distances depend on cable style, network, and wavelength. Unlike twisted copper cable distance limitations of 100 meter, whereas fiber distances for 10-Gbps multimode is 550 meters and for single-mode is 40 Km.
Security Fiber does not radiate signals. In case, it is tapped you can monitor it easily because cable leaks light causing failure of entire system. Fiber network allows you to position all the hardware and electronics at a central location rather than spreading cables through the premises.
Immunity & Reliability Fiber is immune to environmental elements that affect the copper cables. Fiber core is made from glass, which acts as an insulator and avoids the flow of electric current leak out. In addition, it is resistant to EMI or RFI, impedance issues, crosstalk and more. Fiber cables can be run next to industrial equipment because it is less vulnerable to fluctuations in temperature. Moreover, it can be immersed in water without worry.
Design Fiber is thin, lightweight and durable than copper. For attaining high speed high grade of copper cables are applied, which weigh more, have wide dimension and take more space. A fiber cable has 10 times greater pulling specifications, easier to perform OTDR tests and takes less space.
Cost -
With increase in demand and competition, fiber cable cost has decreased. In comparison copper is less expensive than copper but in the long run fiber fits the criteria. Moreover, negligible maintenance cost, insignificant downtime and needs less networking hardware. Introduction of fusion splicers has cut down the huge installation cost of fiber optic wires.
