Each fiber is surrounded by a cladding having a high index of refractance so that the light is internally reflected and travels the length of the fiber to the office desktop. The Company's concept of "zone cabling" reduces costs for installation and moves, adds, and changes by as much as 70% while providing plug and play, up-gradable networks, fiber optics and wireless LAN.
