Top Ten Advantages of Fiber Optic Cabling
Why are fiber cabling and fiber optic systems revolutionizing telecommunications? Compared to conventional metal wire (copper wire), optical fibers are:
The Five Main Advantages of Fiber Optic Cabling
• Less cost - Several miles of optical cable can be made cheaper than equivalent lengths of copper wire. This saves your provider (cable TV, Internet) and you money.• Smaller-Thinner - Fiber Optics can be drawn to smaller diameters than copper wire.
• Higher carrying capacity - Because optical fibers are thinner than copper wires, more fibers can be bundled into a given-diameter cable than copper wires. This allows more phone lines to go over the same cable or more channels to come through the cable into your cable TV box.
• Less signal degradation - The loss of signal in optical fiber is less than in copper wire.
• Light signals - Unlike electrical signals in copper wires, light signals from one fiber do not interfere with those of other fibers in the same cable. This means clearer phone conversations or TV reception.
The Five Additional Advantages of Fiber Optic Cabling
• Low power Requirement - Because signals in optical fibers degrade less, lower-power transmitters can be used instead of the high-voltage electrical transmitters needed for copper wires. Again, this saves your provider and you money.• Digital signals - Optical fibers are ideally suited for carrying digital information, which is especially useful in computer networks.
• Non-flammable - Because no electricity is passed through optical fibers, there is no fire hazard.
• Lightweight - An optical cable weighs less than a comparable copper wire cable. Fiber-optic cables take up less space in the ground.
• Flexible - Because fiber optics are so flexible and can transmit and receive light, they are used in many flexible digital cameras for the following purposes:
• Medical imaging - in bronchoscopes, endoscopes, laparoscopes
• Mechanical imaging - inspecting mechanical welds in pipes and engines (in airplanes, rockets, space shuttles, cars)

Network Cabling Architecture Los Angeles
Network Cabling: How To Get It Right The First Time
Your business relies on its telephone, network data line communications, and most buildings weren't built with data intensive uses in mind.When looking to get your building wired for network data cabling, it pays to talk to the professionals. Setting up a network, as anyone who's tried to do it before can attest, is a highly technical operation, with a lot of hidden "gotchas", where some small, overlooked factor can result in days wasted in doing it yourself, trying to get it to work right.
Network architecture and infrastructure is the sort of skill, like basic plumbing, where it's ideal to hire a trained professional. Unfortunately, a lot of small businesses don't do this, much to their regret. They get into the habit of "We'll save money and do it ourselves…" and the project, when measured in wasted employee man hours, is more expensive than hiring the experts to do it the first time.
Having a dedicated network cabling architecture specialist do your networking installation of today's standard of Cat5 or Cat6 cabling makes sense in other way and will have a preferred configuration that's "known good". They have more experience in doing this and tracking down glitches (or avoiding them in the first place) and can get it up and running quickly.
Los Angeles Data Cabling & Wiring
Furthermore, data cabling-wiring contractor will ask you questions about your business, your data management and backup practices, and make suggestions that will save you money in the long term as your business grows to its full potential; this is absolutely a case where planning for the future now will save you money down the road, even if it costs you a bit more now. They'll also point out potential problems in your current infrastructure, like inadequate ventilation for your server room, or making sure your conference room is wired appropriately for video and data.Ultimately, a good network cabling solution pays for itself, by increasing uptime, and making sure your business' core data cabling infrastructure can handle all the rigors of growth without crippling you with re-doing the network cabling every other year.
Top 4 FAQs for Internet Access Brokers
Signing up for high-speed Internet can be as easy as calling an Internet access provider directly or working through a vendor called a master agent. If you’re able to evaluate the customer service, pricing, and technology of multiple providers and choose the best one yourself, you can call that provider directly.
If you want expert help in comparing the various providers' offerings without having to contact each one, a broker can do all the legwork for you.
As a middleman, an Internet access vendor will consult several Internet access providers to find the best combination of price and services for your needs. This service is conducted at no charge to you – instead, the Internet service provider pays the commissions.
Have your broker furnish you with three to five quotes from various providers. Reliable brokers should have no problem doing that for you. When reviewing recommendations, find out how long the broker has worked with each provider. If they have worked with the provider for a long time, you can be more assured of a reliable setup since the recommendations are driven by firsthand experience.
Were they readily available to answer any questions you had?
How quickly did they resolve problems?
Did they clearly detail everything written in the contract?
Did they try to sell you additional equipment that you didn’t need?
Brokers continue to work with you after the contract is signed. You should demand – and a broker should offer – an Internet access provider that provides 24/7 live person customer support.

Broadband and Paperless Office
The Economist has a fascinating article that suggests that the “paperless office”, long touted as outgrowth of the move to digital and networked technologies, is “no longer a joke” and “getting closer.” This is another example of how technologies evolve and how businesses and consumers adapt to and rework technologies over time.
There is an old saying with regard to technology that “We tend to overestimate the short-term impact of technological change and underestimate its long-term impact “. This nostrum is attributed to Roy Amara, a researcher who was at the Institute for the Future who noted that technologies often tend to burst onto the scene with lots of promise and attention and then just as often seem to fade into nothingness, only to reemerge much later with more power than ever before. Why does this happen? Read more here....
Link has made this point before in his blog posts but I do believe we are rapidly approaching an inflection point where broadband can help us address these issues as a society through widespread adoption and better use of broadband and ICT technologies. The trends with regard to the “paperless office” give me even more hope that the future of broadband is bright.
In the future everyone could have the option of getting their broadband at up to 100Mb per second.
