Connect Up have extensive experience of providing fibre optic solutions to customers of all sizes including local government, schools and small business's. The use of fibre optic cable can vary widely from the linking to an external building through an underground duct to a complete fibre optic back bone in a customers network infrastructure. With all these possibilities Connect Up has invested heavily in the certification of engineers and also testing and termination equipment.

Fibre Optic links become affordable.

The historical use of laser technology in fibre optic links increased the cost beyond the average customer and restricted them to using conventional copper wire cables and all the drawbacks associated with this technology. With the advent of LED technology pricing has become affordable to a wider range of customers and increased greatly the use of fibre optics on longer high speed links providing excellent reliability and value for money.

What is fibre optic cable?

Fibre Optic cables are traditionally used for external building links, network backbones & where data needs to be transmitted over longer distances, however due to the lower costs involved nowadays, Fibre Optic Cabling is being more and more widely used.

Fibre Optic components transmit information by turning electronic signals into light and light signals back into electronic signals.

Because of the immense potential bandwidth of Fibre Optic Technology, there are extraordinary possibilities for future applications. The US Military were quick to recognize the potential of Fibre Optics for improving its communications and tactical systems and have been using it since 1970, but it is only now that costs have come down to a level enabling so many more people to benefit from a Fibre Optic Network.
