The Basics of Fiber Optic Cable

Single Mode cable is a single stand of glass fiber with a diameter of 8.3 to 10 microns that has one mode of transmission. Single Mode Fiber with a relatively narrow diameter, through which only one mode will propagate typically 1310 or 1550nm. Carries higher bandwidth than multimode fiber, but requires a light source with a narrow spectral width. Synonyms mono-mode optical fiber, single-mode fiber, single-mode optical waveguide, unimode fiber.

Single-mode fiber gives you a higher transmission rate and up to 50 times more distance than multimode, but it also costs more. Single-mode fiber has a much smaller core than multimode. The small core and single light-wave virtually eliminate any distortion that could result from overlapping light pulses, providing the least signal attenuation and the highest transmission speeds of any fiber cable type.

Single-mode optical fiber is an optical fiber in which only the lowest order bound mode can propagate at the wavelength of interest typically 1300 to 1320nm.

Network Security
While the Internet gives you access to a large quantity of information and business opportunity, it also opens your network to attackers. A good network security policy helps you find and prevent attacks to your computer or network.

Many people think that their computer holds no important information. They do not think that their computer is a target for a hacker. This is not correct. A hacker can use your computer as a platform to attack other computers or networks or use your account information to send e-mail spam or attacks. Your account information is also vulnerable and valuable to hackers.

Pentagon plays down security breach with US drones

US army RQ-7B Shadow drones sit in a hangar at an army base near Baquba, north of Baghdad, in 2008. A day after the Pentagon acknowledged that Iraqi militants had used cheap software to intercept US drone feeds, a new report said senior military officials had dismissed that risk in 2004.

A day after the Pentagon acknowledged that Iraqi militants had used cheap software to intercept US drone feeds, a new report on Friday said senior military officials had dismissed that risk in 2004.

On Thursday, military officials sought to play down security concerns after the Wall Street Journal revealed that militants in Iraq and Afghanistan had intercepted the unencrypted downlink between US drones and ground control.

“This is an old issue that’s been addressed,” a defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told reporters.

The problem had been taken care of, he said, without elaborating.
