Fiber Optics
Nol-Tec Systems Southeast is certified in fiber optics by the ETA and FOA. We offer a full line of fiber optic services: system design, product selection, fiber pulls, system builds, termination, testing, and troubleshooting.
Fiber optic technology offers many advantages over traditional copper networks.
- One of the biggest advantages in an industrial environment is that fiber is immune to electro-magnetic interference. Industrial environments are typically high-interference areas, and care must be taken in copper installations to route cables away from the interference. With fiber, this is no longer a concern.
- Fiber has a much greater cable-length limit. In Ethernet networks, traditional Cat5/6 can only be run 100m without a repeater. Fiber can typically go much further before this is necessary.
- Fiber has greater bandwidth than copper. This reduces the number of individual cables needed to carry the information.
- Fiber can be installed in existing conduits and cable trays.
- Fiber is actually cheaper than copper. As copper prices continue to rise, the savings to install fiber will only increase.
- Fiber is a way to 'future-proof' your installation. A single generation of fiber cable has outlasted 6 generations of copper cable, and still has room to grow.
Nol-Tec Southeast offers fiber optic services in industrial/manufacturing facilities, telecommunications industries, and more. Coupled with our extensive electrical and control engineering capabilities, Nol-Tec has the experience it takes to make the project a success. Let Nol-Tec help you with your next fiber optic project.
