Shift to Fibre Optic Cables


We have all been there, the frustration when the internet stops working. The restlessness to be updated with information. However, we never really tried to be informed about the working aspect of the data transfer. Or shall we call it the magic of Fibre Optic Cables?  

Do you recall the communication over landlines? Even that device used to employ the same method of information transfer in the form of light pulses. LAPP cable manufacturers India is one of the world renowned cable manufacturing company who provides with a wide range of Fibre optic cables for varied application.

Collection of thin strands of glass or plastic cable makes Fibre Optic Cables. While the light travels through the cable by bouncing off the walls of the core. If we break down an optical fibre, we will find that it consists of:
a)    Core: which ensures the transfer of information coded in a beam of light.
b)    The cladding is the insulating medium. The material of the cladding used plays an important role to ensure the occurrence of total internal reflection by having low refractive Index when compared to the core.
c) Source of light through which the information transfer takes place.
Based on the material used to make the optic fibre, which is either plastic or glass. Mentioned below is the major category with the corresponding properties:

The Plastic Fibre Optic cables are comparatively cheap and much more flexible to the physical force that it encounters. This cable doesn’t require the special technique for implementation which makes it very easy to handle. The lower weight adds to its flexibility.

While the Glass Fibre Optic cables due to its delicate nature cannot be cut, sliced or repaired that easy and needs an expert for implementation.

To conclude the Plastic Fibre Optic cables are usually preferred for short distance application where high speed is not the end objective like digital home appliances, industrial networks, and car networks. While Glass Fibre Optic cables are preferred for high-end objectives like multimedia equipment in the data transmission and military communication network, where the stakes are high.
Why not use normal copper wire for data transfer. You see how the internet speed has changed over the period of time, and the reason to that is the Fibre optic cables. A normal copper wire can never beat the amount of information that this cable can carry alone, with its property of high bandwidth.

The light travels faster than any other existing medium and there is no loss of information while this beam of light with the coded information travels through the core of the optic cable.

These cables are not susceptible to any kind of interference against the electromagnetic signals surrounding it. Giving it an upper hand over the normal cables which
under the influence of interference can corrupt the information being transferred.

The objective to deliver the information from one place to other without any break down is the idle expectation for data communication over cable and Fibre Optic cables are known to accomplish the following task in hand.

Fire safety of cables

LAPP Cabling Solutions Seconds can save lives Investors and legislators require more and more fire safety in buildings, in production facilities or in vehicles. Cables are also affected by this. In the event of a fire, they must not emit toxic substances and must not conduct the flame. Many people must surely remember the tragic fires on the London Underground, at Düsseldorf Airport, in the Channel Tunnel or in the Mont Blanc Tunnel. These fires cost the lives of many people and caused damage running into the billions. But it is not just these huge disasters that cause casualties. Each year, about 400 people die in smaller fires in Germany alone. It is thanks to the increased use of smoke detectors that this number has slowly dropped over the last ten years. In addition, the subject of fire protection is very important to investors when they erect buildings or purchase production facilities, not least due to statutory regulations. Here, careful selection of the utilized...

Future of Fiber Optic Cables

Fiber Optic Cables Introduction to fiber optic cables: While trying to find a way to transmit information at the speed of light, fiber optic cable was invented in 1800 by scientists John Tyndall , Alexander Graham Bell and William Wheeler. Even today, the fiber optic cable has a strong hold on us. The fiber optic cable is redefining ways of our lives. If you travel down memory lane, you should be able to recollect the hefty copper wires which were being used for communication purposes. They didn’t just consume too much power but were also inefficient in delivering the desired output. These copper wires led to wastage of energy until we came across fiber optic cables, which single-handed changed the game of communication. Praise the fiber optic cables for the high-speed Internet that helps you get your work done quickly. Its properties of being durable and malleable gives this product the tag of best in the business. Benefits of having Fiber Optic cables :...

ETHERLINE® ACCESS, the managed & unmanaged switches

Robust switches for demanding industrial networks The Ethernet technology-based networks are active network components which play an important role in Industrial Ethernet Systems, required by the smart factories of the future. Understanding the increasing demand of Ethernet Technology, Lapp , one of the leading Cable Manufacturers in India launched its new line of switches for Ethernet networks, also known as the best Ethernet solutions in India under the name ETHERLINE® ACCESS. One important value is the reconfiguration time, which is the period until communication is restored following an interruption. In the case of the new switches from Lapp, this period is only 20 milliseconds with 250 active components in the network. Besides this, the switches are fully equipped with cutting-edge diagnostic and redundancy features. Switches are a new line of business for Lapp, Cable Manufacturers in India but this represents an ideal fit for the market leader in integrated cable...
