How Fiber Optic Cable Transmits Data at high speeds
Dec 17th 2024
Fiber optic cables are essential for today's digital communications. With the ability to support superior transmission speeds over longer distances compared to copper cabling, fiber optic cables have become the de facto media for data center links and high-speed connections between spaces, buildings, cities, and regions. But how exactly do fiber optic cables transmit data, and

Cat 6 vs. Cat 6A: Understanding the Real Difference
Aug 5th 2023
Everyone knows that Category 6A twisted-pair cabling offers augmented performance over Category 6—hence the "A" for augmented. But understanding technically how Cat 6A compares to Cat 6 can help you determine which is best for your specific application needs and budget.
Cat 6 Cabling
Cat 6 cabling was ratified by TIA industry standards in 2002, just a year after Cat 5e.
