Using Ethernet With Fiber Optic Cabling
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The use of fiber optics in local area networks (LANs), such as Ethernet, has increased due to the inherent advantages of using fiber. High data rates can be maintained without electromagnetic or radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI). Longer distances can be achieved over that of copper wiring. For the industrial/commercial user, fiber offers high-voltage isolation, intrinsic safety and elimination of ground loops in geographically large installations. Ethernet will function with no difficulty over fiber optics as long as some simple rules are followed.

ARCNET is regarded as one of the most flexible industrial networking technologies to wire due to the many cabling options available to the user. ARCNET can be configured as a star network using hubs or a bus without hubs. Cabling can be coaxial, twisted-pair or fiber optics. With the proper selection of hubs, repeaters and links, cabling and topology can be mixed to a distance of four miles. No...

Conventional MRI instruments transmit received MRI signals through electrical cables. Although this design has proved to be effective over the years, we report a fiber-optic system that addresses the needs of recent developments in MRI technology. One of these technologies is phased array coils with a high number of elements, where total size of interconnections is a primary problem, and other ...
