- A technology that uses glass threads (fibres) to transmit data
- A fibre optic cable consists of a bundle of glass threads each capable of transmitting messages modulated onto light waves
- Used for hubs and switches to communicate at very high speed
- Fibre optic cables have a much greater bandwidth than metal cables allowing them to carry more data
- Fibre optic cables are less susceptible to interference and alien crosstalk greatly improving noise resistance making an ideal cable for use in EMI (electro-magnetic interference) environments such as factories, power stations, data centres, hospitals etc
- Fibre optic cables are much lightet and much thinner than metal cables resulting in them taking up less space
- Data can be transmitted digitally (the natural form for computer data) rather than analogically
- LSZH (LS0H): Short for low smoke zero halogen
- The low smoke aspect means in the event of a fire the cables will melt rather than burn a clear smoke is emitted instead of a very dangerous black smoke
- The Zero Halogen aspect means most network cables are made with plastic containing Chlorine. In a fire, a halogen-containing plastic material releases a poisonous gas that forms hydrochloric acid when it comes in contact with water. Chlorine -free cables do not produce dangerous gases or acids. This specification of cable would be required for environments such as Schools, Government buildings, MOD etc
- A flexible moulded collar at the end of the connector protects the internal fibres from any undue stresses or strains
