Fiber Optic Networks

About Fiber Optic Networks

Broadband connections that use fiber-optic technology can provide lag-free rates of up to 940 Megabits per second (Mbps). Fiber-optic internet is also known as fiber internet or simply "fiber." The system makes use of fiber-optic cable, which astonishingly has a data transmission rate of up to 70% of the speed of light.

Why is Fiber Optic Networks important?

Higher connection speeds for numerous users can be provided through fiber optic networks. Fiber optic networks have the potential to be very beneficial for your organization, providing stronger advantages such as enhanced cloud access, VoIP capabilities, and overall higher bandwidth.

Who should take the Fiber Optic Networks Exam?

• New technician
• Experienced network admins
• Those who are looking for a deeper understanding of the technologies behind fiber optics and communicating using light as a carrier of data
