We undertake the installation of FTTR (Fibre to the Room) and in business locations FTTD (fibre to the Desk), bypassing all of the problems associated with copper cables and poor quality (slow) signals.
PON LAN can upgrade the cabling in your home or business to make and take full advantage of the nbn.
An optical fibre is a flexible, transparent fibre made by drawing heated glass (silica) or plastic to a diameter slightly thicker than that of a human hair.
Optical fibres are used to transmit an invisible light between the two ends of a fibre and used in fibre-optic communications, where they permit transmissions over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data rates) than copper electrical cables.
Fibres are used instead of copper wires because signals travel along them with less loss; in addition, fibres are immune to electromagnetic interference.
Optical fibres typically include a core surrounded by a transparent cladding material that has a lower index of refraction.
Light is kept in the core because of total internal reflection because the core has a mirror finish.
Fibres that support many propagation paths or modes are called multi-mode fibres (MMOF) , while those that support a single mode are called single-mode fibres (SMOF).
Being able to join optical fibres while maintaining a low loss is important in fibre optic communications.
This is more complex than joining electrical wire or cable and involves careful cleaving of the fibres, allowing precise alignment of the fibre cores and the mating of the aligned cores.
Applications that demand a permanent connection a fusion splice is common.
This technique, an electric arc to melt the ends of the fibres together.
Semi-permanent connections are made using specialised optical fibre connectors.
