thoughts on fiber optic?

>>105565038 (OP)
It has a bright future.

>>105565038 (OP)
it really shines nowadays

>>105565038 (OP)
Why's it so expensive?

>>105565882

I really like it. It goes fast. Nice lights. Watch the lights.
Better than copper wires, though copper is still cheap.
I like copper too though.
But fiber is fast. So, Yeah.

>>105565038 (OP)
Lotta of money in that shit

>>105566124
Oh yeah?

>>105565038 (OP)
It's RF, but more.

>>105566213
Ah, but it is RF waves contained within a little tube!
Keeping the outside environment free of its interference!

it has no resale value so tweaker don't dig it up and steal it

>>105565038 (OP)
I like it. it allows me to talk to you and see your pics.

Photons are gay.

>>105565038 (OP)
fiber is good for you

They make neat retro lamps.

Soulless
Copperchads we keep winning

The russians just developed a FPV drone with 50 kilometers range via fiberoptic cable (the drum's directly attached to the drone and the cable runs all the way back to the operator)

I saw this image and 80s Italo-Disco suddenly started playing in my head

>>105566213
hm
is there a reason why they use visible frequencies? why not shoot meter waves thru pipes? is it a case of nyquist-shannon again?

>>105565038 (OP)
looks yummy

>>105567376
They often replaced pic related, which will take your music even further back.

hey OP, look over der for a second

>>105567332
so like the drone is attached via optic fibre ala on a string, do they just roll up the wire after the drone explodes?

>>105565038 (OP)
Pointless for 99.9999% of home networks (LAN), fantastic for ISPs and your home WAN connection.

no copper for me to plunder and resell.

>>105569659
>plunder
Don't give them ideas Jamal. Besides, there's so little copper in coax it isn't even feasible to rip the cables out from under the pavement.

>>105568368
>do they just roll up the wire after the drone explodes
Of course not.
>the spool of fiber or carried by the drone itself, so it can stay slack when snagged on obstacles, so it gets destroyed on impact
>pulling back hundreds of thousands of meters of wire would take hours and expose drone operators to being detected
>thin optic fiber is extremely cheap and they produce it domestically
There will be a lot of cleanup required.

>>105569726
>fiber or carried by the drone
*is carried
>hundreds of thousands
*hundreds or thousands
Posting from the toilet, my apologies.

No, russia didn't. They bought it from china lol. Chinese companies pump out new products like never before seen in history.

>>105569739
True for components, since the Chinese dominate the drone industry, but it's their design.

>>105565882
fiber is cheap. now installing it, that is expensive

>>105565882
High-speed internet access

>>105565882
Fiber itself is not that expensive. In fact, it is rather cheap.
The supporting equipment is more expensive. And the amount companies charge for Internet over a fiber connection.

>>105568337
what is it pawlee

Rollout is too slow.

>>105569726
The cable is relatively thin. It will get broken into lots of smaller pieces and eventually eaten by the ground.

>>105565038 (OP)
lotta money in this shit
