2.21 Passive components for bre-optic cabling
The term bre-optic cable is used for all glass and plastic cables which are used
to transfer data.
Application areas:
• Connections with high data rates over long distances
• In primary cabling (from one building to the next)
• In the secondary area
Display the following benets over copper cables:
• No EMC inuence
• Interference resistance thanks to galvanic decoupling
• Independent of potential equalisation
• Lightning and explosion protection
• Lower attenuation over longer lengths
• Higher bandwidth
• No crosstalk between the bres
• Safety from interception
