The Defining Advantages Of A Fibre Optic Cable Installation

By Karina Frost


The continuous transition from analog to digital comes with the crucial and dire need for reliable transmission of video signals in the current and future coexistence. Numerous legacy installations have however, been using coaxial cables to handle images from cameras to recording or both. Nevertheless, coaxial transmitters pose its own inherent limitations, including signal degradation, restricted transmission distance and interference. In order to meet these needs, fiber optic is the way out. This article thus appreciates the benefits of fibre optic cable installation and performance, especially in Vancouver, BC.

The preliminary step is to choose the type of system that is needed. Select a communications converter or module that fits the data format that you plan to transmit. Fiber optics communication commodities exist for almost every kind of communications system, from simple relay closure links to high speed CATV and telephone systems. While numerous of them are media converters from standard electrical interfaces such as Ethernet with various options on data rates, some are proprietary for specialty equipment that are used for industrial control, utility monitoring and video surveillance.

You then choose a fiber optic that is specified to work over the range of your application. Be sure to note the type of fiber among other components, including connectors required for this product. It is important to put in mind the range of the link since it affects the type of transceivers and fiber needed. On one hand, the short links makes use of LED sources and multi-mode fiber. On the other hand, the longer links use single-mode and laser fibers.

The system also provides greater distance and low attenuation. The fact that the fiber optic signal is composed of light, relatively little signal is lost during transmission which implies that data can to greater distances and at higher speeds. The transmission does not contain the 100-meter distance limitation that unshielded twisted pair copper has. There distances can range from between 30 meters to 40 kilometer, depending on the wavelength, style of connectors and network. Fibre transmitters perform better than their copper counterparts since their signals require less boosting than that of copper.

It is essential to plan ahead on your splicing requirements. Due to the fact that fiber optic connectors are rarely made in lengths exceeding several kilometers (because of pulling friction and weight considerations), long lengths of transmitters may require to be spliced. In case fibers need splicing, ascertain how to splice them, mechanical or fusion, and the kind of hardware, such as splice closures, come appropriate for the application.

In addition, Fiber optics comes handy as a medium of option for long distance, secure networks and high bandwidth. The system also offers incomparable economics. Also, the networks, when well designed, offer the best availability of choices for upgrade-ability in the future. They are highly scalable, both upwards and downwards, according to the future needs.

The optics also offers ease of installation. As opposed to the thicker and more rigid of wire cables, fiber cables are quite easier to install because they are more flexible and smaller. In addition, they can run along the same routes as electric wires but without picking up excessive noise. The best approach to simplifying the installation is the existing building is to run the transmitters through the ventilation ducts. Due to their light weight flexibility and small size, fiber optic connectors are easier to be used in portable or temporary installations.

Install the communications equipment, test their operation and document the fibre optic network. After the plant is tested for end-to-end optical loss and evidenced good, install the fiber optic communications gadget and test its operation. Accurately and completely document the installation for upgrading and troubleshooting. The documentation should identify all components, types of connectors, paths, section lengths, splice locations and terminations.
