Did you ever wonder why fiber cables are better than
copper cables in terms of data speed transmission? But first we have to know what fiber optics is. Fiber optics is the process of internal reflection of light through rods in a contained material which is usually glass or plastic. It is commonly used in the transmission of voice, data and images in lightning-fast speeds and is preferred over the conventional copper wires because it rarely experience signal loss.
Over and above this, fiber cables also extend other benefits in its application. In terms of speed, fiber transmission is close to the speed of light. Compared to an ordinary dial-up, fiber allows at least 2,000 times faster data transmission and 100 times faster than cable modem. This spells
faster internet connection. In addition, fiber cables support the transmission of voice, data and images while cable modem, DSL and dial-up allows only data transmission.
Cost effective is also another facet of using fiber over ordinary copper cable. Likewise, fiber technology is capable to support the needs of the future unlike cable modem and DSL connection which may be likely replaced to suit the changes in technology.
Rob Flickenger and his friends, on a slow March 2003 night at Sebastopol, were hunched up together and discussing things over coffee. Rob wanted to have a fast internet connection, but not just a fast one - he wanted fast wireless access on this coffee j
