BitFlow has introduced a copper-to-fiber module designed to extend the transmission range of CoaXPress (CXP) cameras.

Fiber is also used to replace copper cable for LAN backbones. An optical fiber is constructed of a transparent core made of nearly pure silicon dioxide (SiO2), through which the light travels.

If you want to go high bandwidth, fiber optics is the way to go. From trans-oceanic cables to the yet-unseen ‘fiber to every home,’ fiber optics allows a lot more bandwidth than a copper cable.
