Why lay railway fiber optic cables
An optical cable is 40 percent lighter than a Cat7 cable, reducing energy consumption or the aging of braking systems and track infrastructures. Yet today's connectivity technology - and the results of field experiences - have proven that fiber optic is, and will remain, an entirely appropriate technology for the rail industry in the future. One challenge that has traditionally plagued onboard connectivity is the electrostatic and. In principle, DAS turns standard fiber optic cables into distributed acoustic sensors. Big Data, IoT and digitalisation have long since been part of the rail and aviation sectors – whether in the form of signalling technology or inflight entertainment.
