The Code requirements for optical fiber vary with the type of cable used Fiber optic cable has many advantages over competing technologies, including increased information capacity (by orders of ...

Structured cabling specifications ensure you purchase and install the right product for every job. Most significant installations of structured cabling begin with written specifications for each ...

NEC and NTT have conducted a first-of-its-kind transoceanic-class 7,280km transmission experiment using coupled multicore fibre. The two Japanese firms expect the work they have been carrying out will ...

Tubular laser beams can create what amount to fiber-optic cables made of thin air, researchers report in a study to appear in Physical Review X. Laser-heated air can efficiently transmit light signals ...

A new method of processing signals via fiber optic cables could vastly increase the distance at which error-free data is transmitted via submarine cables without additional signal amplification. As ...

Recent research has been focused on the ability to manipulate a light beam in such a way to hide, namely to cloak, an event over a finite time or localization in space. The main idea is to create a ...

Electronic signals sent through the air spread out as they travel, growing weaker the farther they get from their source. Think of radio waves emanating from a tower, and the fading signal when you ...
