Why Use Fiber Optic

The future of telecommunications to the home is happening today in the form of fiber optic cabling. Cable providers, internet providers and telecommunications companies are rapidly expanding their fiber optic cable networks to provide an ever increasing variety of multimedia applications, entertainment and data communications technologies to their customers.

A major advantage of fiber optics is its bandwidth. Fiber optic cables can carry a greater amount of data more efficiently than other types of cables. Fiber optic cables are made of thin strands of glass. They transmit data via pulses of light that are converted into electrical signals. Since light travels faster than electricity, data flows much faster in the fiber optic cables than other types of cabling. Because the cables are made of glass and not metal they don't conduct electricity and therefore do not suffer from electrical interference from power sources, electrical appliances or even lightning, that can degrade the signal.

The major applications of fiber optics for residential customers lie in telecommunications applications including, high speed internet access, and telephone communications. While many providers of these services have improved their communications backbone, if the fiber optic cabling ends at the "box" outside your home, you are not taking full advantage of this great technology. To take full advantage of these higher data transfer speeds and greater bandwidth, fiber optic cables need to be run in your home to the devices you use.

If you want to take advantage of the benefits of fiber optics for your home theater, for your home office, or simply clearer telephone communications and faster downloads from the internet you need the services of professionals like those at Lopez Electric.
