Fiber Optics Cabling ServicesFiber Optics Cabling Services

Optimized for the future

Fiber optics has become the preferred method for control and monitoring communications in a variety of industrial, commercial, business and even residential environments. To include petrochemical, manufacturing, and mission critical settings. Fiber optics are immune to radio frequency interference, and thus provides secure high bandwidth communications that are intrinsically safe, as no electricity passes through a typical fiber optic cable.

Private campus interconnectivity is a portion of our business. ACT has been recognized for its ability to design and implement private campus fiber, coax, and copper infrastructures for multi-building sites requiring connectivity.

ACT installs both multi mode and single mode fiber optics. Our lead technicians have been extensively trained, and are skilled in the installation and connectorzing, repair, cleaning, and maintenance of fiber optics. In addition, we provide round the clock 24 hour repairs.

Advantages of Fiber Over Traditional Copper Cabling

Light Versus Copper

Fiber-optics are steadily replacing copper wire as an appropriate means of communication signal transmission. Some of the main reason include; the increased speed, enormous bandwidth capability, resistance to electromagnetic interference, able to travel increasingly long distances, and finally provide very low maintenance cost. They span the long distances between local phone systems as well as providing the backbone for many network systems. Other system users include cable television services, university campuses, office buildings, industrial plants, and electric utility companies.

A fiber-optic system is similar to the copper wire system that fiber-optics is replacing. The difference is that fiber-optics use light pulses to transmit information down fiber lines instead of using electronic pulses to transmit information down copper lines.

At one end of the system is a transmitter. This is the place of origin for information coming on to fiber-optic lines. The transmitter accepts coded electronic pulse information coming from copper wire. It then processes and translates that information into equivalently coded light pulses. A light-emitting diode (LED) or an injection-laser diode (ILD) can be used for generating the light pulses. Using a lens, the light pulses are funneled into the fiber-optic medium where they transmit themselves down the line.

Light pulses move easily down the fiber-optic line because of a principle known as total internal reflection. "This principle of total internal reflection states that when the angle of incidence exceeds a critical value, light cannot get out of the glass; instead, the light bounces back in. When this principle is applied to the construction of the fiber-optic strand, it is possible to transmit information down fiber lines in the form of light pulses.
