Raising a glass to fibre


Cape Town, 26 Apr 2017

Fibre is a great technology which has recently become readily available to residential and business customers. This type of technology's bandwidth capabilities scale well beyond the needs of today's most demanding applications. Fibre is a dielectric, which makes it a far safer option as it does not present a potential spark hazard.

Due to the low power loss of fibre, longer distance transmissions can be achieved. While copper-based technologies are typically limited to a maximum distance of 100 metres, fibre, on the other hand, can transmit data reliably up to 2 000 metres.

Additionally, fibre-optic cables are immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and can operate dependably within noisy environments. Fibre is the most secure option for carrying sensitive data; as the cable does not radiate electromagnetic energy, emissions cannot be intercepted.

The cable is far lighter, flexible and more resistant to corrosive elements than traditional copper-based technologies. The cable also has a far greater tensile strength when compared to a copper cable of the same diameter.

Sonic Telecoms has been using fibre technologies in conjunction with its wireless offerings to backhaul customers' data, securely and reliably, and offers direct fibre solutions to residential and business customers. Eligible residential or business customers can choose between both capped and uncapped products. Additionally, business customers can choose a flexible contention ratio and data allocation suitable for their business needs and budget. Failover options are also available.
