The Essentials Of Fibre Optic Cable Installation

By Karina Frost


The continuous transition from analog to digital comes with the crucial and dire need for reliable transmission of video signals in the current and future coexistence. Numerous legacy installations have however, been using coaxial cables to handle images from cameras to recording or both. Nevertheless, coaxial transmitters pose its own inherent limitations, including signal degradation, restricted transmission distance and interference. In order to meet these needs, fiber optic is the way out. This article thus appreciates the benefits of fibre optic cable installation and performance, especially in Vancouver, BC.

The preliminary step is to choose the type of system that is needed. Select a communications converter or module that fits the data format that you plan to transmit. Fiber optics communication commodities exist for almost every kind of communications system, from simple relay closure links to high speed CATV and telephone systems. While numerous of them are media converters from standard electrical interfaces such as Ethernet with various options on data rates, some are proprietary for specialty equipment that are used for industrial control, utility monitoring and video surveillance.

It is out of doubt that by making a long distance call today, you are surely talking on fiber optics. This is particularly true since the system has replaced over 90 percent of all voice circuits for long distance communications. In fact, most large office buildings contain fiber in the building itself. Also, the installations into homes and offices are growing rapidly.

The system also provides greater distance and low attenuation. The fact that the fiber optic signal is composed of light, relatively little signal is lost during transmission which implies that data can to greater distances and at higher speeds. The transmission does not contain the 100-meter distance limitation that unshielded twisted pair copper has. There distances can range from between 30 meters to 40 kilometer, depending on the wavelength, style of connectors and network. Fibre transmitters perform better than their copper counterparts since their signals require less boosting than that of copper.

The installation also offers exceptional data security. With, the data connector, your data is safe. It does not radiate signals is immensely difficult to tap. When the cable is tapped, it is quite easy to monitor since the transmitter leaks light and causes the entire system to fail. It is thus possible, with the system, to know when an attempt is made to break its physical security.

Select connectors of termination type and style that is appropriate for the application. The connectors have numerous termination methods, some using splicing, with trade-offs in functioning while others use adhesives and polishing. Ensure to discuss them with installers and manufacturers before embarking on the choice.

The optics also offers ease of installation. As opposed to the thicker and more rigid of wire cables, fiber cables are quite easier to install because they are more flexible and smaller. In addition, they can run along the same routes as electric wires but without picking up excessive noise. The best approach to simplifying the installation is the existing building is to run the transmitters through the ventilation ducts. Due to their light weight flexibility and small size, fiber optic connectors are easier to be used in portable or temporary installations.

Simply put the service and convenience that comes with this kind of installation is something worth the experience. The optics provides data security, immunity to electromagnetic interference and high bandwidth over long distances. In addition, the communication system eliminates spark hazards, offers ease of installation and entails non-conductive cables.
