The Romans would have been so proud when they created lead pipes 2000 years prior. Finally, they had invented a way which was simple to carry water from one place to another. Envision what they’d make of the modern-day fiber optic cables that can carry phone calls, messages and E-mails around the globe in a flash of a minute!

The Fiber Optics Cable Guide

We’ve utilized many ways of information transmission. As soon as we talk on a landline phone, a copper cable conveys the sounds of our voice into an outlet at the wall, in which a different cable carries it into the local phone exchange. Cellphones operate another way: they deliver and receive data using wireless waves--a new technology known as wireless since it employs no wires. Fiber optics use a different method than these. It transmits data coded in a ray of light down a glass or plastic pipe. It was initially designed for endoscopes in the 1950s

Universal Serial Bus (USB) was developed in the 1990s in a bid to simplify the relations between computers and peripheral devices. It has come to be popular because of its compatibility with several platforms and operating systems, its reduced cost of implementation, and its simplicity of usage. Most machines that are constructed now come with different USB interfaces and USB is the port of choice for many homes and workplace peripherals such as cameras, printers, modems, and mobile storage devices. USB criteria are developed and preserved by an industry body known as the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF). In its first specification, USB cable described just two connector types: A and B. Revisions to the specification and needs on producers have expanded the width of connectors utilized for USB devices, but the vast majority of USB products use this B and A connector ports. USB is supposedly universal. However, there are many diverse kinds. 

  Copper is less expensive to connect network devices and has some advantages, including the fact that it exists in several places. While fiber optic cables are more expensive, there are lots of benefits that make it a cable infrastructure solution. Fiber Optic and copper cable are capable of doing the same thing, but the question is which one is better for any given scenario? Ethernet has been in the news lately. From applications of LED lighting to innovative IP camera technology, there is no shortage of applications for Ethernet cabling. Copper cabling, for example, Ethernet is the cheaper of the two, which makes it a low-cost choice with a bevy of applications. However, a high-cost option like fiber is necessary. What emerges as you learn about the two options is that there is no war between them. In fact, each solution has its fair share of advantages and disadvantages. With benefits and limitations to every technology, it rarely seems like they're competing

 Connectzone is now part of Google Project beacon A couple weeks ago, I received a package in the mail from Project Beacon with the Google's Mountain View, California address on it. When I opened it up, I found a beacon and some instructions on how to set it up. I did not yet set it up, but I dug deeper into it. No one was talking about it until this past week. I spotted a number of posted about it on Twitter just this past week, all asking what this is about.
