Commercial Fibre Optic
For added security and peace of mind Jim Morrice offers total networks, allowing you to add
access control and/or,
CCTV to your intruder system, controlling your security through data cable or fibre optics. The system is designed specifically for your security specification. Staff can be alerted of activity as it happens including Ethernet network (LAN/WAN) and mobile telephone network (GSM) technology. Live images can also be streamed, real time, to a remote system, enabling users the opportunity to view the surveillance without the need to physically be on sight.
Fibre Optic
You hear about fibre-optic cables whenever people talk about the telephone system, the cable TV system or the Internet. Fiber-optic lines are strands of optically pure glass as thin as a human hair, that carry digital information over long distances. They are also used in medical imaging and mechanical engineering inspection.
The advantages of using fibre optics
Because of the low loss, high band width properties of fibre cable, it can be used over greater distances than copper cable, in data networks this can be as much as 2km without the use of repeaters. A light weight and small size also makes it ideal for applications where running copper cables would be impractical, and by using multiplexors, one fibre could replace hundreds of copper cables. This is pretty impressive for a tiny glass filament, but the real benefits in the data industry are its immunity to Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI), and the fact that glass is not an electrical conductor. Because fibre is non-conductive, it can be used where electrical isolation is needed, for instance between buildings where copper cables would require cross bonding to eliminate differences in earth potentials. Fibre also poses no threat in dangerous environments such as chemical plants where a spark could trigger an explosion. Finally, the all important security aspect: it is extremely difficult to tap into fibre cable to read the data signals.
