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 make Fibre Optic Cables. While the light travels through the cable by bouncing off the walls of the core. If we break down an optical fiber, we will find that it consists of:
  1. Core: which ensures the transfer of information coded in a beam of light.

  2. 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.

  3. Source of light through which the information transfer takes place.
Based on the material used to make the optic fiber, 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 at hand.

Oil Resistant Cables: Know How Important They Are!

Demands of the industrial environment are ongoing, with ever-changing trends. Cables that were able to sustain functional and operational integrity a decade ago would not be adequate to survive in the environment of a present day manufacturing site. Everywhere, from the renewable energy industry and automotive assembly plants to the factories that manufacture small office machines, and even in some commercial buildings, oil resistant cables have become increasingly important. Oils serve a dual-purpose in industrial applications, both as a coolant and lubricant, depending upon the requirements mandated by the end use application. Sustaining trouble-free cable operation under harsh chemical and environmental conditions reduces costly manufacturing downtime and helps to eliminate or minimize periodic maintenance and costly cable replacement. All of the factors mentioned play a major role that is critical to a consistent, smoothly run manufacturing operation, which in the end res...

The industrial robots till now were performing complex and repetitive factory processes, but the digitization and technological advancements have increased their applications across various sectors.   Cable manufacturing in India  is entering the era of integration and convergence that will aim at reducing costs with increased safety. Robots of the future will be seen working alongside humans in most Industrial sectors with increased responsibilities. They will be pivotal in implementing Industrial 4.0 by combining technologies that will allow robots to use big data and analytics, make decisions and function autonomously. Industry 4.0 or the industrial internet of things (IIOT) refers to the era where the industrial manufacturing processes equipment, devices, and computers are networked. Today, the use of automation and robots have come a long way and play an integral role in re-shaping and re-defining  Industry 4.0. But, it is not just the robots that ...

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...
