Fibre solutions
Advantages of optical fiber as compared to copper cables are known. They feature a very high degree of isolation, as they are immune to crosstalk, electromagnetic interference or lightning. Also they have an almost unlimited bandwidth. A higher degree of isolation can be obtained by using optical fiber cable. Both screended twisted pair cabling and optical fiber technologies each provide enhanced levels of performance but clearly at different levels. The use of optical fiber will normally be preferred in the backbone because of its virtually unlimited bandwidth, but optical fibers also have the following advantages:
very large bandwidth immunity to EMI very small attenuation no NEXT security non sparking small dimensions, little weight no corrosion galvanic separation
For data and video transmission, Coril recommends optical fiber cable in the backbone cabling. This prepares the LAN for future expansion in the horizontal cabling, provides galvanic isolation between buildings and floors, and provides the necessary bandwidth for backbone cabling. In certain conditions optical fibers may be considered in the horizontal cabling. Increasing numbers of end-users are installing fiber in the horizontal for today's applications as well as future imaging and multimedia applications requiring high bandwidth. Several parameters will influence the technology selection: environment (EMI, high voltage,...), bandwidth, installation ease, security, application independence, etc. Gigabit Ethernet is a reality : the IEEE 802.3z (Fibre part), voted in June 98 enables to run Gigabit rates over fibre.Since the emergence of this new application, its implementation on the market place is growing fast.In the Gigabit world where evolving technologies can quickly make an entire network obsolete, choosing the right fibre infrastructure is critical. Conventional wisdom has maintained for years that existing Standard Multimode Fibres would provide virtually unlimi-ted bandwidth in LAN backbones to handle higher data speeds. However, recent tests have shown that traditional multimode backbones simply cannot deliver the requisite bandwidth beyond 275 meters. The emergence of a new generation of transmitters, the Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL), operating at 850 nm imposes to choose a multimode fibre generation optimised for Laser injection, in order to deliver the requisite bandwidth on extended distances: GIGAlite II Fibre Solutions are a solution of choice, available in both 50/125 and 62.5/125. Cabling Solutions Europe Fibre offer incorporates comprehensive solutions for Campus, Risers, Collapse backbone or Fibre to the Workplace environment.
