FEATURES
Fiber Optic Cables use light as a digital information carrier. The
cable is made up of a small strand of glass, each providing a path
for light rays carrying the data signal. Fiber Optic Cables offer large
bandwidth, very high security, and immun ity to electrical interference.
Fiber Optic Cables are offered in different lengths, and you can
choose either riser or plenum cable. Riser cable is good for running
cables in walls. Plenum cabling is approved by the NEC
®
for installation
in air spaces or ceilings because it does not emit toxic fumes when
it burns.
You can run Fiber Optic Cable to the desktop for a planned
deployment of high-data-rate systems such as FDDI, multi media,
or ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode), or applications that require
large file transfers.
It can also address environmental problems such as EMI
(electromagnetic interfer ence) or high security requirements.
Ceramic connectors on the Ceramic-Terminated Cables make the
highest quality cables and provide low signal loss, high reliability, and
long life. Composite connectors are good quality and are constructed
of a durable polymer and also offer high precision and low light loss.
All of these cables are ideal for use as work-area, cross-connect,
or equipment jumper cables.

According to a survey by Data Communi cations magazine, 90%
of network managers surveyed say that getting the technical support
they need is extremely important when choosing a vendor. But even
though network managers pay anywhere from 10 to 20% of their
overall purchase price for a basic service and support contract, the
technical support and service they receive falls far short of their
expectations—and certainly isn’t worth what they paid.
At Black Box, we guarantee the best value and the best support.
