Fiber optic cable was once reserved for high-performance needs, but today it’s turning up in all kinds of networks. If you’re familiar with copper cable, you’ll quickly discover that fiber optic cable ...

JDSU has released all-in-one fiber-optic test kits, providing network technicians a way to avoid network downtime caused by contaminated, or “dirty,” fiber. JDSU provides the tools necessary to ...

The standard line is that fiber optic networks transfer data at the speed of light. But in reality, light travels about 31 percent slower through fiber optical cables than it does through a vacuum.

Researchers hailing from England's University of Southampton claim to have discovered a method for transferring data near the limits of our Universe -- 99.7 percent the speed of light. Their secret? A ...

Fiber-optic services are becoming more popular, and networks are expanding to cover more areas for faster data transfer speeds. Fiber-optic data transfer differs from traditional methods like ...
