Mainly used for back bone and long distances in Premise Networks, fiber optic solutions offer a higher bandwidth compared to copper and are increasingly necessary as IT network’s speed develops. However fiber optic systems remain up to twice as expensive as their copper equivalent which limits their use up “to the desk”.
Our recommendation is to use fibre as a complement of a copper horizontal infrastructure and to select the fibre performance in relation with the network application.
Multimedia connect fiber optic solutions include the latest OM4 and OS2 fibre types which are necessary to anticipate on 40 Gigabits/s and 100 Gigabits/s applications.
