Electronic Specifier’s Paige West talks to Tom Freeman, Optoelectronics Product Manager at Solid State Supplies, about ultraviolet light (UV) disinfection and how excimer lamps are an effective, safer method compared with the alternatives.

When you are building a network that requires long distances, high speeds, and/or heavy bandwidth connections, there is no question: fibre optic cables win the day. But copper cables may still be the best option in certain situations. It’s important to understand the differences between the two, as Chris Whitehead, Business Continuity Product Manager, SolutionsPT explains.

Despite being a challenging year for most industries due to the COVID-19 pandemic and global disruptions, 2021 brought a surge in digital usage. With around 1.3 billion years of combined time spent online in 2021 alone, the pressure on bandwidth grew significantly. Here Marcin Bala, CEO of GBC Photonics, discusses the trends in coherent optics in 2022 that will help optimise networks.
