Single-Mode
Single-mode fiber optic cables transfer a solo wavelength of light and employ lasers as a source of light. These cables are particularly used in long-distance telecom apps by tv and phone companies. They are considerably smaller than the multimode ones.
Pros: quicker, high integrity
Cons: more costly to make and operate
Multi-Mode
These cables have heavier diameters compared to single-mode cables as they have fibers of different breadth. They allow the cable to transfer light of many wavelengths. As they do not need light of a particular wavelength, they are capable of using a light-emitting diode as a source of light.
Pros: affordable to install and operate
Cons: limitations in distance and speed
How are fiber optics used to achieve high security?
- Secure Networks and Data Communications
Fiber optic cables are used to create eavesdropping-proof networks for businesses, governments and the military.
They enable encrypted and fast data transmission without the signal being intercepted in the same way as copper-based networks. - Military and intelligence security communications
Fiber optics are used in encrypted communication systems to protect national security data.
They are also used in radar and surveillance systems where information leakage must not occur. - Financial and banking networks
Banks use fiber optics to secure transactions and customer data against cyberattacks.
Low latency and high capacity allow transactions to be completed quickly and securely. - Medical systems and hospitals
Fiber optic networks ensure the integrity of patient records and medical imaging.
They are used in surgical robots and other sensitive medical equipment where fast and accurate data transmission is critical. - SCADA Systems and Critical Infrastructure
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems for power grids, water utilities, and transportation use fiber optics to reduce the risk of intrusion and sabotage.
Fiber optic cables ensure that control systems cannot be affected by electromagnetic interference or tampered with by hackers.

Defense and Security
The worlds Armed Forces and Defence industry of today is extremely complex, based on state-of-the art technology and highly challenging environments. Adding Security aspects formed by todays world and diverse threats, increase this complexity with another dimension.
Professional Audio and Video
Control rooms are normally tightly secured and accessible only to authorized personnel. Typically multiple displays, wall displays and control panels are used. KVM (Keyboard Video and Mouse) links enable servers to be placed in a separate room. Fiber Optic communication is used to ensure bandwidth, reach and integrity of the signalling.
Telecom
Telecom operators and service providers face challenges in handling the a rapid development of communication technology. The protocols and the demand for higher bandwidth change in order to support more functionality and higher qualit
Why is fiber optics used to achieve the highest security?
- Difficult to intercept
Fiber cables transmit data through light pulses, making it impossible to passively intercept without disrupting the signal.
Attempts to tamper with the cable will result in signal loss, which can be quickly detected. - Immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI)
Unlike copper cables, fiber optics are not affected by electromagnetic fields or radio interference.
This makes fiber optics ideal for sensitive environments such as hospitals, airports, and military bases. - Higher bandwidth and faster data transfer
Fiber optic cables can transmit large amounts of data with minimal delay, reducing the risk of congestion and ensuring stable communication. - Resistance to physical tampering
Fiber optic cables are more durable than copper and are not affected by corrosion, extreme temperatures, or moisture.
Specially designed fiber optic cables can be self-healing or difficult to physically tamper with. - Combination with advanced encryption
Fiber optic networks are often used in conjunction with advanced encryption protocols to maximize security.
Future implementation of quantum encryption via fiber optics will make data breaches virtually impossible.
