Fiberoptic Applications Solutions

Although metal cables are preferred especially for large projects in terms of very short term cost comparisons, due to the high quality communication infrastructure that necessitates the financial advantages of long-term investment, as well as the safety implications of the security elements, the Netsum sector is constantly making the publicity it needs for widespread use of fiber optic cabling. These advantages of fiber optic cabling can be summarized as follows.

Due to the fact that optical frequencies provide more broad bandwidths, fiber systems have a larger capacity. In metallic cabling, the capacitance between the conductors and the inductance along the conductors. These features cause metallic cables to act like low-pass filters that limit bandwidth.

Fiber systems are not affected by intermixing, which is caused by magnetic induction. Fibers are materials that do not transmit electricity, and therefore, there is no magnetic field in the fiber optic cable that causes the current to flow.

Fiber cords are more resistant to major changes in environmental conditions. They can operate at a wider temperature range than metallic cables. Likewise, fiber cables are less affected by abrasive fluids and gases.

Fiber cabling is easier and safer to install and maintain. Since glass and plastic fibers are not conductive, there is no danger of electric currents or stresses being created. The fibers can be used in the vicinity of volatile fluids or gases without creating any explosion or fire hazard. It is also easier to work with fiber cables because they are smaller and much lighter than metallic cables. In addition, fiber cords require less storage space and are transported at lower cost.

Fiber cabling is more secure than copper cabling. It is impossible to make a leak or a secret connection into the fiber cable without the user's knowledge. This is another qualification that makes fiber attractive for military applications.

Although not yet proven, it is assumed that fiber systems will last longer than metallic materials. The premise of this hypothesis is that fiber cabling is more resistant to changes in environmental conditions.

The long-term cost of a fiber optic system is also thought to be less than the long-term cost of a metallic system.
