Industrys one of the leading eTailer adds an array of new Fiber Optic solutions to its comprehensive online catalogue now boasting more than 2,300 Fiber Optic-related SKUs.

To help consumers better, discern the benefits of using Fiber Optic cabling over copper cabling for telecommunications and datacom network applications, CableOrganizer.com, among the worlds foremost providers of Fiber Optic and other cable, wire and equipment management-related products for use in business and at home, today issued 5 key reasons to choose Fiber Optics.

Why Fiber Optic cables over copper?

1. Fiber Optic is so much more efficientand secure than copper cabling. In comparison, Fiber Optic cables can transmit far more information, and with a greater degree of fidelity. In fact, fiber links offer over 1,000 times as much bandwidth over distances over 100 times further than copper. Fiber Optic cabling also offers extra security for the data being transmitted, since it is far more difficult to tap than copper cable.

2. Only Fiber Optics can go the distance. Not only is Fiber Optic cable capable of carrying far more data than copper, it also has the ability to carry that information for much longer distances. Indeed, a Fiber Optic cable can easily transmit a signal as far as 80 km or more without the need for amplification.
 
3. Fiber Optics cant be interfered with! Because Fiber Optic cables are glass-based, they dont conduct electricity. This eliminates the need for grounding, and makes them immune to any type of electrical interference - even lightning. Since Fiber Optic cabling is so resistant to interference and atmospheric conditions, it can be used outdoors - and in close proximity to electrical cables - without concern.

4. Fiber Optic cables dont mind roughing it. Glass fibers dont only escape interference but they are also virtually free from the threat of corrosion, too! While copper cabling is sensitive to water and chemicals, Fiber Optic cabling runs almost no risk of being damaged by harsher elements. As a result, Fiber Optic cables can easily endure living conditions that coaxial cable just cant, such as being put in direct contact with soil, or in close proximity to chemicals.

5. You may be surprised by Fiber Optics, but you wont be shocked. A major benefit of Fiber Optic cabling is that it doesnt pose a threat of physical injury to the user if it breaks. Since Fiber Optic cabling transmits light and not electricity, the people handling it run no risk of injury from fire, sparking or electrocution.

Fiber Optic cabling has advantages over standard copper coaxial cables, in that it can transmit larger quantities of data with far less loss, is able to maintain signals over long distances, carries little risk of corrosion, and is virtually free from interference, concludes Paul Holstein, COO,CableOrganizer.com
