Fiber cable provides the following advantages for a video surveillance/access control system installation:
• Great Distance — Where coaxial cable (RG59, RG6) can only carry video signals up to 1,000 ft. without amplification, multimode fiber optic cable easily can carry video signals up to four miles from the camera to the monitor without additional amplifiers. Singlemode fiber can carry the same camera signal 20 miles or more. There may be applications where only fiber optics can carry the signals needed for the distance required.
