Fiber Optic Communications

Data and Wireless can help with your Fiber Optic Communications requirements.

Fiber optic links are the communications pathways between devices. A link is bidirectional, usually with signals transmitted in two directions on two different fibers. Using two fibers is usually the cheapest way, since the optical fiber itself is now about as cheap as kite string and fishing line! (FTTx PON systems use one fiber in two directions so it can use one PON coupler transmitting and receiving for lower system cost.) The link connects electronic signals from two devices that need to communicate, just like a copper cable. The link has a transmitter that converts electronic signals from communications equipment to optics and a receiver that converts the signal back to electronics at the other end.
