Advantages of Fibre Installation

Capacity

Optical fibres will carry signals with much less energy loss than their copper counterparts and at a much higher bandwidth. Bandwidth equates to data carrying capacity, therefore more channels of information can be carried over longer distances with fewer repeaters.

Size & Weight

Optical fibres are much thinner and lighter than copper cables; this means there is less space required in ducting and trunking when installing a system.

Security

Optical fibres are almost impossible to tap into without detection, making it an ideal medium for banks and other information sensitive environments. They are immune from radio signals, ignition systems, lightning etc; so they can be safely routed through explosive or flammable atmospheres and potentially hazardous sites.
