Sdm Editors' Podcast

SDM's Contributing Technology Writer, Dave Engebretson, advises technicians about how to test existing fiber cables for electronic security use. He covers how a technician or a salesperson can determine the type of existing fiber proposed for an installation; and the testing methods used to determine the quality of a specific fiber link. Dave describes the next steps to take if the test fails; and how technicians can ensure that the fiber link, once tested, will work with the optoelectronic transmitters and receivers needed to carry the signals. Dave is president of Slayton Solutions Ltd., a networking and fiber training company. Sponsored by Interlogix, a UTC Fire & Security Company.
