Fiber Optics
Fiber optics is one of the most exciting technological advances of the last few decades. By manipulating tiny fibers (1/10th the size of a human hair) that transmit information through flashes of light, fiber optics has played a major part in the so-called information revolution.
Communication from around the globe is now possible at the speed of light. Crawford Electric can use fiber optics to bring members access and services that would have seemed impossible just a few years ago.
Building on hundreds of miles of fiber optic backbone – initially constructed for communication between electric facilities – Crawford Electric has the ability to bring all the advantages of fiber optic technology directly to you, through the Cooperatives’ Broadband Network.
There are many reasons to invest in fiber optic communications:
 Fiber optics makes the transfer of information quicker and easier
Internet connections, and downloads of sound and video, are clearer and faster.
Ethernet connections – that not only connect computers in a single office, but can also connect offices around a service area – are possible.
Wiring classrooms with fiber optics allows for distance learning – classes taught in a single classroom and simultaneously viewed in classrooms throughout the service area.
Fiber optics can carry almost any type of information – so the possibilities for fiber optics are seemingly endless.
