Fiber Optics represents the most advanced state-of-the-art in telecommunications media. This is evidenced in rapidly growing trends as telephone and cable companies proceed to Fiber Optic cabling systems and networks as these industries both compete and collaborate in the race to establish communication super-highways.
Similarly, the demand for high-speed data, voice and image communications in the work place is growing every year. Coupled with this demand is the need for high quality Fiber Optic installations. Jade is meeting this need with certified Fiber Optic technicians backed by a full complement of specialized tools and test equipment. This depth of experience and capabilities provide Jade's customers with minimal downtime and superior workmanship.
Among the several advantages of fiber optic networks are the following:
High-speed data rate -- Fiber Optics carry up to 40 Gigabits of data per second compared to substantially lesser speeds in copper cabling.
Security - Fiber Optics cannot be electromagnetically monitored. It must be physically tapped, which is readily detectable.
Immune to Interference - Fiber Optics are immune to lightning, radio signals, high voltage and magnetic fields.
Low Attenuation - Fiber Optics means greater distance, fewer repeaters, lower installation and maintenance costs.
Reliability - Fiber Optics are more resistant to unforeseen environmental hazards such as chemical spills and floods.
Reparability - Fiber Optics are easier and faster to repair than copper cabling, if there is a cut or break.
