We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Fibre Optic Cable",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Compact coupler eases Ethernet links from
Hayes Control Systems, which we summarised at the time by saying "The highly efficient BK1250 acts as a bridge between Beckhoff's original Bus Terminal I/O line and high speed EtherCAT terminals for optimum interoperability".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Industrial switches ease motorway congestion from
GarrettCom Europe: "Industrial Etherent switches are used in a pilot scheme designed to reduce motorway congestion at peak times".
In March 2007, we covered the news from Ethernet Direct
- take a look at Ethernet goes Spanish and Portugese
which says: "Ethernet Direct's new Latin American locations provide local technical services, training and consultation in applications engineering".
Take a look also at the news release from Contrinex UK, Fibre optic sensor is on the level,
as well as Data convertors include superior optical isolation from B and B Electronics Manufacturing Company,
and Wireless Ethernet comms in industrial environments from Westermo Data Communications.
