Fiber optic cables

What Is Fiber Optic Cabling?

Fiber optic cabling is the backbone of modern network infrastructure. It transmits data as pulses of light through glass strands, allowing for extremely fast, interference-free connectivity across long distances.

ASCIO Wireless has delivered turnkey fiber optic installations across Boston, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and to clients across the U.S.

Is Fiber the Right Choice for Your Business?

If any of these apply to your organization, it’s time to talk fiber.

• • You’re experiencing network slowdowns, signal drops, or bandwidth bottlenecks

  • You’re planning an upgrade or expansion of your IT infrastructure
  • You need high availability, minimal maintenance, and long-term ROI
  • You’re required to meet structured cabling standards or compliance regulations

If you answered yes to two or more, a fiber upgrade could immediately improve performance and future-proof your business.
