Did you know?

Maximum bandwidth, longer transmission distance, resistance to electromagnetic interference and higher security are all critical advantages of fiber to network installations.

OUR FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT FIBER

SPEED: Fiber optic offers a much faster connection versus even the highest-speed copper cable.
SECURITY: Hacking into fiber optic cable is a much more complex process as compared

to tapping into copper and electrical wiring. The only way to penetrate fiber is to physically cut the fibers making a tap easily identifiable

RELIABILITY: Fiber-optic cable does not transmit an electrical signal, only light. Therefore fiber is not susceptible to inclement weather. Weather can damage or interrupt data transmission in traditional copper wire.
EFFICIENCY: Fiber can transmit more data at a higher throughput over longer distances than copper wire.
EASE OF INSTALLATION: LAN copper cable is delicate. Fiber is lighter-weight and has more strength and greater tolerance to abuse than copper wire, making it much easier to work with during installation.
LONG TERM STABILITY: Fiber is much sturdier than copper cable. It can withstand about 100-200 pounds of pressure meaning it is far less likely to be damaged.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Single mode fiber can transmit 60km, without needing signal amplification
