fibrepoint™ – Hybrid Cable

The backbone of the fibrepoint™ network is a hybrid cable that has been designed to provide a pair of plastic optical fibers for the data network and low power 48v supply to each outlet. This enables it to be used with both passive and active network devices as they evolve without committing the customer to a proprietary system.

Although currently running at 100 Mb the Plastic Optical fibre been tested at Gigabit speeds and as future hardware evolves it should be possible to upgrade the network to these speeds.
