Intermodal Dispersion
When different modes of light travel at different speeds or at different light paths along the same fiber, they will not be received at the same time. This would cause the signal to become distorted, a phenomenon known as intermodal dispersion. Learn More >

OM3 and OM4 Fiber Optic Cable
With each passing year demand for higher data rates in data center environments grow. More and more sophisticated equipment is introduced into the marketplace and more users need access to data center services. Today, we are able to transmit data within the data center at 10 Gig / second using multimode fiber. Learn More >

Plenum vs. Non-Plenum Cable
Cable fire ratings are something often overlooked when your cable purchase is made, only to be scrutinized by building inspectors after the installation. The National Electric Code articles 700-800 specify flammability ratings for certain installation situations, but muddle the issue by allowing substitutions to be made among their rating systems.
