Google fiber optic cable or read: www.howstuffworks.com/fiber-optic.htm www.arcelect.com/fibercable.htm Do you know the actual construction of the Fios cable? While the data transmission medium is glass fiber, there may well be a metal wire or jacket component for tensile strength. If

A quotation from the second citation: The modular design of loose-tube cables typically holds up to 12 fibers per buffer tube with a maximum per cable fiber count of more than 200 fibers. Loose-tube cables can be all-dielectric or optionally armored. The modular buffer-tube design permits easy

I'm looking for a wireless IP camera that can be config'd and managed by OSX v1.4.11... I've found cameras in the past that were supposed to run under OSX but needed first to be set up under Windows. As a result, I've never gotten one going. I'm casually following such cameras so I can't

Don't take my word as gospel but Gutsy is both, according to the Linux Action Guys, a standout distro and really easy (comparatively) for installing (available) proprietary drivers. If you could get it with Fiesty, I would be really surprised if you can't get it Gutsy and in even a more

This paragraph explicitly cites a steel central member which is likely for tensile strength. Surge protection or lightning protection? I expect your connection will have enough insulation to protect against surges. Any metal armor or support wire isn't going to be directly connected to your

Isn't that like how Microsoft has proclaimed Internet Explorer to be a standard so they don't need to follow what the standards setting body has set. On Nov 20, 2007 5:50 PM, Tom Piwowar [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My impression is that Linksys gear is more non-standard than some other companies
