Ethernet Fiber-Optic Cables

We would use fiber-optic over UTP cables for multiple reasons: Longer maximum distance Faster speed No vulnerability to EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) Better security (UTP emits a signal outside of the cable that can be copied) How does fiber-optic transmission work? Fiber-optic cables send light over glass fibers. A light (optical transmitter) shines into the core.To […]
