CableOrganizer.com Cites Top 5 Reasons to Use Fiber Optic Cables

Mon Jul 13, 2009 7:31am EDT
  FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, Jul 13 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
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 world's 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. The company also today announced that an array of
new Fiber Optic-related products from Corning(R), Leviton(R),
MicroCare(TM) and other leading manufacturers are now available through
its award-winning online catalog located at http://CableOrganizer.com.

    Why Fiber Optic cables over copper?

    1. Fiber Optic is so much more efficient... and 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 can't be interfered with! Because Fiber Optic cables are
glass-based, they don't 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 don't mind roughing it. Glass fibers don't only
escape interference, they are 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 can't, 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 won't be shocked. A major
benefit of Fiber Optic cabling is that it doesn't 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 CableOrganizer.com COO Paul Holstein.
