If you’ve been in the market for an HD video encoder, SD encoder, or another piece of equipment that provides your business with better, faster, and more reliable communication and closed-circuit video and audio capabilities, the words “fiber network” have probably already come up in your search. Fiber optic technology incorporates thin glass or plastic “fibers” throughout the product to transport and receive data, and fiber cables are usually encased in a glass or Plexiglass covering for an added layer of protection. If you’ve been considering replacing your current AV system with one that incorporates the use of fiber optic cables, here are four benefits that you’ll enjoy:
- Higher bandwidth cables. Fiber cables have the benefit of being able to transmit much more data than traditional copper cables. The result is a network that uses fewer cables overall while retaining — or even improving — the quality and clarity of standard copper cable operated systems.
- Less interference. Fiber cables are unable to conduct electricity like traditional copper cables. This means that there is a decreased likelihood for interference.
- Lighter weight. By transmitting data through thin strands of fiber rather than bulky copper cables, fiber optic systems provide a lightweight and easy-to-maneuver option when compared to traditional AV setups. This is a great added benefit for companies that move their AV operations frequently.
- Digitally transmitted data. When you use copper cables, the source data needs to be converted from digital to analog. With a fiber network, this is unnecessary. This translates into fewer breakdowns and less frequent interference when compared to traditional copper cables.
Fiber technology is the wave of the future — and it’s available today. Lightweight, fast, and surprisingly affordable, fiber optic technology is being adopted by organizations across the country.
