Huawei goes the distance with broadband copper

Faster copper makes broadband more accessible
Telecom TV points out that the technological breakthrough by Huawei could have a big impact on how the world utilizes its standing copper wire infrastructure. While telecoms worldwide have been eager to uproot these coils and replace them with fiber-optic upgrades, this trend excludes remote area residents without direct access to new gigabit cables. By doubling the usable length of copper broadband, Huawei's SuperVector technology also expanded copper's applications.

Fiber to Ethernet gear will also become more important as copper broadband continues to improve. These converters allow fiber-optic cables to be run directly to standing copper infrastructures, delivering a broadband connection to users at the other end. Fiber-optic cable installers will be able to reach far a wider range of copper-based communities thanks to the 800 meter functionality of Huawei's SuperVector.

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 160 km.
