Fibre Options to exhibit at NextGen ’11 in Bristol

admin — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 11:41:13 +0000

Fibre Options will be exhibiting at the 4th annual NextGen Exhibition taking place at the University of the West of England Exhibition and Conference Centre, Bristol on the 15th and 16th of November 2011. NextGen ’11 will showcase the latest developments and technologies in the delivery of next generation access networks and will highlight the opportunities and benefits afforded by next generation broadband. The Fibre Options team will be on hand to explain how communities can implement such schemes and how we are able to assist with the development of business plans, installation and operation of such networks. Please feel free to drop by our stand to discuss any aspect of Fibre to the Home networks or just to have a chat.

Redundant RS-485 Rings supports Critical Fire Alarm Network

The Company has recently installed 37 redundant RS-485 serial transmission to support a highly critical fire alarm detection system around one of the UK’s largest ports. The sophisticated serial transmission devices ensure continuiity of operation in the event of a fibre failure by automatically detecting a loss of signal and re-routing the signal through the remaining avialable nodes.

Redundant Gigabit Ethernet Ring supports MegaPixel IP Cameras

Fibre Options have recently replaced a network that we installed over 10 years ago to support analogue cameras and serial data with a redundant Gigabit Ethernet ring network. The network of 37 nodes spans a fibre length of over 10kms and will provide resilient transmission for the clients IP CCTV cameras, wireless communications and monitoring systems.

What is the maximum distance that Gigabit Ethernet can be transmitted over multimode fibre?

admin — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 20:11:59 +0000

Generally accepted standards determine that the maximum transmission distances for Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fibre are:

50/125 550 metres
62.5/125 225 metres

However, recent developments in laser technology have now enabled transmission distances of 2000 metres for both fibre types by the use of specific optical devices.

Can 50/125 and 62.5/125 fibre be mixed?

admin — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 20:08:02 +0000

No! While transmission may be maintained through a 50/125 to 62.5/125 interface, the mismatch in fibre core sizes produces significant attenuation which will precipitate failure of the network over a period of time.

What is OM3 Fibre?

OM3 is a “laser optimised” 50/125 multimode fibre for high bandwidth applications.

Optical Matrix Switch supplied for High-End Broadcast Application
