As technology continues to advance, there has been an increase in electric power communication method diversity. As compared to alternative communication technologies, optical fiber communication ...

A research team from the University of Electro-Communications in Japan has invented a fiber optic system that transmits both data and power over the same cable. A research team from the University of ...

Photonics researchers have increased the maximum power -- and therefore distance -- at which optical signals can be sent through optical fibers. This advance has the potential to increase the data ...

Many electricians have broadened their work model in recent years to include coaxial and Ethernet wiring for communications and data networks. This is usually seen as a good move, given the fact that ...

When you want to isolate communications between two devices or locations, a fiber optic link is one of the best ways to go. Under some circumstances, however, you might also want to isolate the ...

Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years. TechSpot means tech analysis and advice you can trust. Electrical engineers at the UC San Diego's Qualcomm Institute have managed to break the "capacity ...

W. L. Gore & Associates introduced a new aerospace fiber optic cable, GORE, which offers a high-speed data transmission cable in a lightweight construction. Designed with a dual-buffering system, GORE ...

Several factors are driving the popularity of optical fiber cabling. Chief among those is the growth of high-tech applications that require the massive bandwidth fiber-optic cabling makes possible.

Researchers in the US, funded by the US Air Force, Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), and the National Science Foundation, have managed to turn air into an "optical fiber." This breakthrough ...

In certain locations, it may be challenging for linemen to access an overhead line. By using a retrofit product called SkyWrap from AFL, however, they can install a fiber-optic cable on overhead lines ...
