Fiber Optic Technology Is All Around by Mikael Rieck
Once it was unique, fascinating and only for the very few and privileged. Now it is all around us and most of the time we don’t even know it is there. This is the story of most new technological breakthroughs. If you think of the television then not too long ago that was for the very few and... That is the reason that every single string of fiber optic cable is tested many times for data transfer quality before being bundled into the final fiber optic cord. ... Simply by having flaws in the produced fiber optic cables the public came to know to fiber optics.

Fiber Optic Connectors by Elizabeth Morgan
Compared to even a few decades back, communication has become a vital part of our lives. The world's social, economic and political system is dependent upon its ability to communicate and transmit both voice and data information. Networks of optical fiber span continents and circle the globe... Rapid advances in fiber optics technology have made traditional wiring obsolete and unsuited for transferring complex data like images. ... Fiber optics connectors have low data losses over long distances and have a high transmission capacity.

Data Fiber Optics – Light Speed Transmission by Mikael Rieck
Why settle for slow speed, high electricity costs and a technology invented a hundreds years ago if you can have the latest in data transmission at less the cost and many times the speed? With the use of glass or plastic threads to transmit data the fiber optics is an upcoming technology. ... Telecommunications and Data Fiber Optics For you to fully understand the implications on technology by using fiber optics, we need to understand how it works in terms of telecommunications. ... Engineering Science Part of applied science consists of data fiber optics and the engineering behind it...

Fiber Optics Education - The Trade of The Future by Mikael Rieck
If you don’t know much about fiber optics then you are not the only one. Even though fiber optics has been around for almost 60 years now it has just recently become something that has an effect on the everyday person and in most of the cases that person doesn’t even know it. ... The investments that are going to be made into the fiber optics technologies of the future are going to be substantial and if you have a little scientist hidden inside of you maybe now is the time for him/her to come out and invent something related to fiber optics.

Understanding Your PC Cables And Connection Types by Rich Fuller
The beginning A classification for networks: 1. Peer-to-peer networks; 2. Server-based networks. At least two computers form a peer-to-peer network. In a peer-to-peer network there are no dedicated servers, and the there is no hierarchy between computers – all the computers are equal. ... Optic fiber cable The last important cable type is optic fiber cable, which is the most expensive. ... Just one fiber can’t assure a double senses transmission, that’s why an optic fiber cable is formed by two fibers.

Network Cables by Elizabeth Morgan
A network consists of two or more computers linked together to share resources such as a printer or a scanner, exchange files, and enable electronic connectivity. Network cables are data transmission cables and are used to connect one network device to another. ... Some of the cables being used today are Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables, coaxial cables and fiber optic cables. ... The UTP cable is the most popular variety, largely used for school networks as it transfers data at 100 mbps. ... However, today several networks are switching over to other mediums of data transfer such as...

What You Need To Know About Cables by Elizabeth Morgan
Cables are electric conductors covered with insulating material. They are used to connect different components of a system such as connecting a DVD player with a TV. Cables are being used in almost every area of human activity. Cables of different make and uses are now available in the market. ... Different types of cables like data cable, network cables, high voltage electric cables, fiber optic cables etc. ... Data transmission is now faster than it used to be and this speed has helped with the growth of the information technology and telecommunications industry.

WiMax and Its Future Importance by James Dyson
Another all-in-one technological concept to serve your day-to-day demands all put together. Actually, WiMAX stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access. As widely known WiMAX enables the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to ADSL and Cable broadband. ... The much important thing about it is you get all its services cheaper comparing to the services from established technologies like ADSL, Cable, and Fiber Optics etc. ... Companies providing cellular services are evaluating WiMAX for means of increasing the bandwidth to provide users with array...

Uses of WiMAX by Michael Russell
WiMAX is designed as a wireless alternative to DSL and cable for last mile broadband access and as way to interconnect Wi-Fi hotspots into a Metropolitan Area Network. Although, the actual uses for WiMAX overlaps those for Wireless Local Area Network up until the mobile Wide Area Network level. ... Practical maximum data rates in actual field tests show can only go between 500 kbit/s to 2 Mbit/s and is quite dependent on the conditions at a given site. ... According to WiMAX proponents, the technology can provide shared data rates up to 70 Mbit/s.
