Cornwall pushing for more fiber

"Cornwall was the first English county out of the blocks when it came to fiber broadband," said Garfield. "The Council's strong focus on extensive fiber coverage for Cornwall and the Scilly Isles is generating great results. We have been able to test run some new innovations in the county and as a result we have delivered efficiencies which are now enabling us to go further than we first thought possible."

Making FTTx deployment easier
FTTx installation can be extremely challenging, especially since fiber is not inherently interoperable with the cabling systems used in most homes and businesses. This problem can be eased through the strategic use of fiber to Ethernet media converters. These solutions allow fiber and Ethernet to interact seamlessly with one another and can even enable some advanced network functions, such as quality of service, to be put into place.

Perle has an extensive range of Managed and Unmanaged Fiber Media Converters to extended copper-based Ethernet equipment over a fiber optic link, multimode to multimode and multimode to single mode fiber up to 160km.
