Strong cable

When you\'re shopping for an outdoor cable, you want something reliable to stand the elements without sacrificing connectivity. Depending on the size and build of your work space, installing your fiber optic cables outdoors might be the right space-saving solution for you.

Is it safe to run your cables outside? Most extension cables and network patch cords are built for indoor use only. Attempting to use them outdoors can result to damaged cords or devices in the best case, and personal injury in the worst. Make sure you\'re purchasing watertight and weather resistant cables if you plan to install them outdoors.

What Are Fiber Optic Cables?

Fiber optic cable technology works by transmitting data through pulses of light traveling to and from your device across glass filaments at the speed of light. The word \"fiber\" here refers to the many superfine glass or plastic filaments contained within the cable jacket, whereas other types of cable would typically contain traditional copper instead. These glass or plastic cores consist of a flexible, transparent fiber drawn to a diameter that\'s even more fine than a single strand of human hair.
