Shooting light down a pipe seems like a neat scientific party trick, and you might not think there'd be many practical applications for something like that. But just as electricity can power many types of machines, beams of light can carry many types of information—so they can help us in many ways. We don't notice just how commonplace fiber-optic cables have become because the laser-powered signals they carry flicker far beneath our feet, deep under office floors and city streets. The technologies that use it—computer networking, broadcasting, medical scanning, and military equipment (to name just four)—do so quite invisibly.
The idea may be a simple one, but the actual splicing process is very technical and requires special skill sets and tools. It takes precision because all light should pass from one cable to another with very minimal, if not none at all, amount of scattering for maximum efficiency.
Quality network cabling has become the most important method of connectivity in companies since it provides the necessary infrastructure to perform the day to day activities. Network cabling is much more than a simple way to perform communication; it's a vital service that, combined with the networked services, offers the possibility to better serve your customers!
At International Telecoms Week in Chicago on Monday, Microsoft MSFT said it will use new transatlantic cables, owned and operated by Hibernia Networks and AquaComms , respectively, to connect Microsoft sites in North America to their analogues in Ireland and the United Kingdom. It also said Structured Cabling it joined a consortium of major Asian telecommunications companies to provide improved connectivity to Asia. Further, Microsoft will build its first U.S. landing station to connect to Asia, according to a blog post by David Crowley, Microsoft's managing director of network enablement.
