Many electricians have broadened their work model in recent years to include coaxial and Ethernet wiring for communications and data networks. This is usually seen as a good move, given the fact that ...

Several factors are driving the popularity of optical fiber cabling. Chief among those is the growth of high-tech applications that require the massive bandwidth fiber-optic cabling makes possible.

There are enough seismometers around these days to detect and locate nearly all earthquakes on land, except the most minuscule ones. The seafloor is another story. It’s expensive and difficult to ...

“To my knowledge, this is the first example of this technique used under the sea,” says geoscientist Philippe Jousset of the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, who has used fiber to sense ...

Fiber optics provides a transmission medium that surpasses coax cable in many ways, especially for long transmission runs. But now with HD-SDI, the need for high-frequency capacity and low loss brings ...

Maine’s governor has pledged that everyone in the state who wants high-speed internet will be able to get it by the end of 2024. In just one small, Down East town, that means installing 60 miles of ...

Fiber-optic services are becoming more popular, and networks are expanding to cover more areas for faster data transfer speeds. Fiber-optic data transfer differs from traditional methods like ...

Thousands of miles of fiber-optic cables, already in place across California, can shake up the study of earthquakes. New research out of Caltech used a section of telecommunication fiber to sense and ...

Researchers are giving each other high-fives over new cable's potential. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. If we haven't yet ...

As dawn broke over San Juan Island, a team of scientists stood on the deck of a barge and unspooled over a mile of fiber-optic cable into the frigid waters of the Salish Sea. Working by headlamp, they ...
