About the technology

Information carried by light.

Optical fibre carries information as light signals guided within the fibre. This medium can carry data, video and control information, depending on the electronics used.

The fibre itself is immune to electromagnetic interference. Overall link performance also depends on the transmitter, receiver and system configuration; the medium’s properties do not guarantee the performance of a specific product.
