If you’re a computer whizz, you’ll know that the best way to get high speed data communications between your systems is to use fiber optic cables. Light travels far more quickly that signals down a copper wire, and so are essential for any high end system. Huge servers and mainframes use optical cables to connect up processors with their storage devices. As our reliance on technology grows, so do our expectations. Consumers are putting ever-increasing speed requirements on businesses, and optical technology is a sure technique for maximising data exchange rates.
