OFC-based networks define the essence of connected future

February 27, 2025by admin

As the demand for data has grown exponentially in recent times worldwide, we need high-speed, high-capacity, low-latency and resilient broadband-networks, which will meet the demands of the increasing data-intensive applications. Reliable fiber-optic networks have emerged critical for secure and future-proofed networks. The world is increasingly adopting fiber-optic cabling to satisfy the appetite for higher bandwidth and faster performance from IT- infrastructure. People need and desire to be connected everywhere, every moment, with faster connections, which is why networks are going to receive and distribute an unimaginable data-load on their physical infrastructure. To meet the aim of keeping network-continuity and speed, fiber-optic networks have gained unprecedented momentum in recent times. A network supported by Optical Fiber Cables (OFCs) brings in assortment of advantages. Fiber-optic installations have become the preferred choice of physical infrastructure for the networks for the impending Smart Future. OFCs bear cores that carry light to transmit data and can carry signals at speed, that is tantamount to as much as 31% slower than the speed of light. With reduced signal-degradation, fiber-optic networks transmit signals way farther than copper-cabling systems. OFCs provide way more bandwidth than copper cables of the same diameter and can thus transmit loads of data. OFCs are significantly less prone to damage due to adverse weather-conditions, moisture, temperature-changes or electromagnetic interference. These thin cables are more resilient to pull-pressure and are less likely to be broken and bent. Being lighter in weight and requiring less hardware, they go a long way in decreasing the cabling mess at the installation-sites. Easy maintenance and extended durability lessen their cost of ownership substantially.

Polycab Telecom, a division of Polycab India Ltd., is engaged in manufacturing and distribution of Optical Fiber Cables (OFCs). With a high degree of in-house Backward Integration and Automation capabilities, we offer global, innovative and scalable fiber-optic cabling solutions to support the deployment of high-speed broadband-networks for across all segments. We’ve a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, spread over 40000+ sq ms and a build-up area of 20000+ sq ms, where we innovate and integrate technologies to create world-class OFCs, from 6 cores to 576 cores.
