On a transmission network, one cause of insertion loss on a fiber link is macro bending. This is commonly caused by tight installation or handling. As Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) networks lead to a significant increase of fiber installation in the last mile, the space constraints become increasingly stringent. This is driving the need for distributions hubs […]

What should i choose for data center. Copper or Fiber, Active or Passive?
Cabling is an increasingly important topic in the data center. This focus is growing with the proliferation of 10 Gb/s and 40 Gb/s cables in volume today, with 100 Gb/s cables already starting deployments, and with both intra-rack and inter-rack applications. Passive cabling provides a direct electrical connection between corresponding cable ends. Active cables provide […]
fibre network and copper network comparison
fibre and copper for data transmission network In terms of the physical infrastructure mediums the main choice is between a copper or fibre based system. So, which is the best to install? Like all good, simple questions, the route to the answer is a little more complicated. Historically, fibre was used in the backbone and […]
