A Fiberlink® Intelligence Brief

Superior security with the light approach.

The advantages of Fiberlink® in government and military applications.

For centuries, governments and their military have created doctrines,

plans and procedures to secure their information. Doctrines designed

to protect against spies, counter-intelligence, electronic interception,

ambush, corruption, theft, fire.

Having a doctrine is fine, but in a world of electronic transmission and

communication, where signals are sent across traditional copper wire,

how does one ensure their transmissions are secure?

Simple: they don’t use copper, they use Fiberlink®.

The Fiberlink® family of fiber optic transmission systems

for audio, video and data are ideal solutions for mission critical and

sensitive government and military operations. And, here’s why:

Engineered with government and military applications in mind,

no Fiberlink® product stores, in whole or in part,

any transmission data in any of its components or circuitry.

Should the physical transmitter or receiver fall into unauthorized

hands, they have no potential to discover or reclaim your transmission.

Since Fiberlink® products move light, not electricity,

your transmission cannot be intercepted or eavesdropped upon,

nor can it be disrupted by electrical noise.

Need to encrypt and decrypt your transmission? No problem.

Fiberlink® family of products perform no scaling, no compression, no

de-skewing and no equalization. This means that the information is

transmitted unmodified and in pristine condition.

With benefits like this, Fiberlink®

is the right approach to superior security.

Advantages of

Fiberlink®

Fiberlink® offers non

conductive electrical

isolation. Light cannot be

eavesdropped upon or

intercepted.

Signals transmitted via

Fiberlink® are

immune to electrical noise.

Fiberlink® does

not

store or

retain any

transmission, in whole or in

part, in any of its components

or circuitry.

No compression, scaling or

other signal manipulation is

performed.

Fiber optic cabling is resistant

to radiation, corrosion and

extreme temperatures.

Fiber optics transmit light,

not electricity, eliminating the

potential for sparks, fire, and

short circuits.

Fiber optic cable is more

economical than copper and

is friendly to the environment.

Traditional copper deployment versus Fiberlink®

The practical and economic advantages of Fiberlink® are as clear as

the signals they send, whether going across town, or to the next room.

Traditional Copper Deployment: Video and Audio Transmission for

1 mile

Distance: 1 Mile

Electrical signal emits noise

susceptible to interception

Signal Repeaters

are required about

every 500 feet

The transmission continues

to get “dirtier” as it gets

repeated over any distance

Equipment Required for

traditional copper deployment:

Transmitter and Receiver Units

5 Repeater/Signal Regenerator Units

1 mile of expensive copper cabling

12 sets of interconnects

Conduit as per Building & Fire Codes

Fiberlink®: Video, Audio

and Data

Transmission for

over 15 miles!

Distance: over 15 Miles

15+ Miles of Fiber

Optic Cable

Fiberlink® Transmitter

Fiberlink® Receiver Unit

Equipment Required for

Fiberlink® deployment:

No conduit is required.

Fiberlink®: Truly. Purely. Securely. Amazing.

A Fiberlink® Intelligence Brief

The anatomy of greatness.

Fiberlink® is the no tools, no tweaks, no troubles solution.

Fiberlink® does not require any special tools for proper

installation. With no settings to adjust, no ratios or signals to tweak,

Fiberlink® offers true plug-in-and-go installation ability. Best of all, it

offers great flexibility and expansion capabilities without having to

retool, rethink, or retweak any of the system components.

Uses 24 bit all

fiber optic test equipment essential to any installation.

Fiberlink® light sources and an optical power meter allow for

convenient and easy on-site testing of fiber optic networks during

construction, installation and maintenance.

Fiberlink® 6610 Visible Light Source:

Use the Fiberlink® 6610 Visible 650 nm Light Source to launch a

visible beam of light into the fiber optic core. This assists the user

in discovering cable breaks, identifying individual fibers in bundles

and verifying connection integrity. Use with single mode or multi-

mode fiber.

Fiberlink® 6615 Optical Power Meter:

The Fiberlink® 6615 measures the strength of optical signals at 850,

980, 1310 and 1550 nm wavelengths. Essential for determining

operating loss budgets and troubleshooting any fiber optic

network.

Fiberlink® 6620 Three Wavelength Light Source:

The Fiberlink® 6620 launches a beam of light at 850, 1310 or

1550 nm into the fiber optic core. Use in conjunction with the

Fiberlink® 6615 Optical Power Meter to assess loss budgets and

signal strength.

Cut. Crimp. Connect.

Fiberlink® Field Termination kits offer fiber optic cable assembly

in the field with no polishing, grinding, glues or epoxies.

If you can terminate a BNC connector, you can terminate a fiber

optic connector. That’s because it’s as easy as cut, crimp and

connect with the Fiberlink® Field Termination kit. Simply strip your

cable, crimp on your preferred connector and connect your gear.

It’s that simple.
