Fiber Optics Are Being Used in the Art of Avionics

While fiber optics used within the networking industry are changing the way we see the internet, the same kind of cabling can be used for other advantages.

Fiber optics are a growing aspect of our technology in almost every field of work. For many, this is an exciting process. We’ve already discussed how fiber optics are being used to detect blood clots, which can save lives; medical professionals have rejoiced over this new technology, which has allowed them to work more effectively. And, while fiber optics used within the networking industry are changing the way we see the internet, the same kind of cabling can be used for other advantages. In this week’s blog, we’re going to explore how fiber optics are being used for avionic technology.

Unmanned Aircraft

When it comes to building these devices, the fiber optics industry has taken over. The cables make it easier than ever to communicate data and video. Using fiber optics, or fly-by-light technology, unmanned aircraft become lighter. They also cost much less. This technology has already been implemented in larger, manned aircraft; but, condensing the cable system within smaller devices will soon be a common practice. Another fantastic benefit of using fiber optics is that it cannot be affected by interference or electromagnetic fields. The signal will never fade, allowing the drones to be used to their full potential.

Commercial Flights

Even in commercial avionics, fiber optics have played a huge role. They’re being used for in-flight entertainment, allowing for faster streaming and better connection. This technology is much less expensive. Likewise, fiber optics can even be used for safety equipment. For example, it can be used for the technology that lowers emergency oxygen masks in the case of an emergency. This ensures a lower rate of malfunction, and a faster response time if disaster strikes.

Benefits

Even years ago, in 2009, the market for fiber optics in the avionics industry was estimated to be $309 million. It has grown exponentially since then, in both military and commercial flying technology. Fiber optic cables weigh less, cost less, are faster, and more efficient than their copper cable counterparts. It’s no wonder that such brilliant technology is being used for an incredibly important area such as avionics.

Fiber Optics Aiding in Finding Blood Clots During Surgery

Fiber optics are great for networking and transferring information. They’re fast, powerful, useful and efficient. But, did you know that fiber optics are not always used for broadband purposes? In some cases, fiber optic technology is used in industries you may not expect. Did you know that medical professionals are now using fiber optics to help save lives during surgery? Learn more about how fiber optics are changing the way we live–and how we survive.

Why is it Needed?

During surgery, doctors must use a blood thinner to keep the blood flowing properly. When the heart or lungs are being worked on, they rely on something called a cardiopulmonary bypass pump. This is a machine that does the function of these organs while surgery commences. Blood clots can clog this machine and cause deadly consequences. In order to prevent blood clots, doctors conduct blood tests to determine if they must thin the blood further. This needs to be done every half hour, and takes about ten minutes each time. As you can imagine, this takes away precious time. But with fiber optics, this entire process changes into something far more efficient.

How it Works

By using fiber optics, doctors can be continually aware of how the patient’s blood is doing. It shines light through veins, and the rate the light bounces back at can show the density of the blood. If a clot is forming, the fiber optic technology will detect it immediately. So far, this has been tested on 10 patients and shows success. With fiber optic technology at work, this could change the way we conduct heart and lung surgery. And this technology can expand within the medical industry, allowing us to form even more interesting, life-saving devices. There’s no limit to what fiber optics can do!

Exciting Future Trends in the Fiber Optic Industry

These days, everyone is interested in speed. Getting tasks done quickly is one of our biggest concerns as a society; technological culture forces us to think in terms of efficiency. You’ll notice that only ten years ago, we were just leaving the broadband internet era. Now, if the device in our pocket doesn’t connect us to the internet in a matter of seconds, it becomes incredibly difficult to move forward. Fiber optics have existed for years, but they’re just now being used in excess; the fiber optic industry is growing with every passing day. It’s time to take a look at a few of the trends we’re seeing, in order to predict where the future is going to take us.


Fiber optics have existed for years, but they’re just now being used in excess; the fiber optic industry is growing with every passing day.

Only Gaining Speed

We’re not going to slow down–that’s a fact. If you feel like we’ve been rushing forward for a decade, make sure you’re hanging on. Fiber optics are being used with increasing frequency in order to keep our connections running quickly. There’s something called a fiber optic transmission limit, which is the furthest a signal can travel through a fiber optic cable before it fizzles out. Photonics researchers from the University of California San Diego were able to transmit a signal for 7,456 miles without any hindrance in frequency. This is an incredible distance! When it comes to wiring the entire country’s network, we need cables that can transmit large distances. This test also allowed for them to boost the signal up to 2,000% percent.

Increased Usage

You’ve probably noticed that fiber optics have started to sweep many industries. What started with basic landline and television transmissions turned into internet connections. Then, fiber optics were being used by cable companies and other large tech industry giants, like Google and AT&T. Now, we use these cables for just about everything–security cameras, Wi-Fi, and more. With an increasing fiber optic transmission limit, the fiber optic industry is sure to grow exponentially in the coming years. It’s just another great reason to start investing in custom fiber optic cable designs.

All You Need to Know About Fiber Optics

Diversified Material Specialists, Inc. provides fiber optic solutions!

Fiber optic connectivity–what is it? For many, the concept of fiber optic cabling is limited to the knowledge that they transmit data using light. And even though these cables have been used for decades, it’s still considered a step into the future when they’re utilized. At Diversified Materials Specialists, Incorporated, we focus on fiber optic connectivity product design and manufacturing. Our reach is global; we work with everyone and every type of customer. We don’t hesitate to serve the Department of Defense, because we know that fiber optic cabling is the best way to keep information secure. Here’s a quick rundown on how our industry works, and the basics of fiber optic cabling.

What are some products involved in fiber optic connectivity?

End users have many different requirements on how and where they need a fiber network installed. We produce a range of product family solutions to help you accomplish your requirement according to your personal needs; they are Classic, PRM, and LGX compatible.

Next comes the actual fiber optic cable. DMSI provides high quality, American made and UL listed cables that are fully traceable.

So, how does it work?

The concept of fiber optics is seemingly confusing. But don’t worry–we’re here to help explain the nature of fiber optic cabling. Do you remember dial-up internet? DSL cables were used for this, and they were slow and inefficient. The problem with DSL and coaxial copper cables lies in the fact that their information ends up in a bottleneck. With information caught up in the ether, it makes the transmission of information across a network incredibly slow. As you can imagine, when the Department of Defense is transferring information, they need to be able to work quickly and efficiently.

That’s where the concept of fiber optics comes in. Fiber optic cabling allows for easy transmission across long distances–for instance, you may have heard of these cables being used by cable companies to deliver you internet, television, and phone services. The concept is as follows: fiber optic cabling uses light, so there is no end to how far the information can travel.

What other products are used with fiber optic cabling?

Fiber optics require a bit more than just a cable and a connectivity box. DMSI can provide plenty of these for your application; but, let’s go over a few of them and what they do. A pre-terminated trunk cable, for example, is a way to connect multiple fibers for easy and fast deployment versus timely field termination. There’s also a fiber jumper, which is essentially a cable that allows fast connections to passive or active ports. Attenuators, loopbacks, and adapters are used similarly for connecting and testing; think of them as the equivalent of a Mac adapter. You need to change the type of port between connections to transfer information from an Apple computer to a system that only has a connection for a PC. The process is similar; some fiber optic cables have different connectors that need to be changed before they can be connected to certain panels.

What are the advantages of using fiber optic cabling?

There is virtually no reason to use any other type of network cabling. First of all, they use much less energy than traditional copper cabling. This makes them more efficient, and far more technologically advanced. These cables and their network systems will last for years to come, even if there is new technology on the way. Fiber also has the ability to handle heavy loads of bandwidth. Connecting from multiple devices is often necessary for high security facilities. With fiber, this is easy.

Fiber optics cannot be interfered with. They are not affected by electromagnetic pulses like copper cables. For this reason, fiber is incredibly secure, as it’s difficult to intercept information if it isn’t electromagnetically transmitted. And copper cables can be tapped without much effort or indication. Keep yourself safe and protected when you use fiber optic cabling for your network.
