Because Fibre optic cable use light there is no way

Another benefit to Fibre optic cable is the distance components can be from each other.  There are two different type of fiber, single mode and multi mode.  Single mode uses a smaller core and the electronics use a more precise laser for the light so distnaces can be between 10 and 30 miles for siginal before a amplifier is needed.  Multi mode which is more standard in the AV world allows components to be up to 5 miles apart depending on the tranceiver being used.  Once again what does this mean for you?  Well if your building a large custom home your going to want tv’s, cameras, ethernet drops all over your home/property.  If you look at the ratings for  DWDM Fibre optic cable and Cat 5 you will see the average length for these cables is very low.  In fact HDMI cables are rarely found over 50ft.Technicians and cat 5 cables are said to have a max distance of 328 ft.  This means that you cannot wire your home with HDMI,  it also means some tv locations may also have problems if wired with cat 5.  On a previous installation we were able to install 3 tv’s in a guest house that was well over 1/2 mile away.  These TV’s had full access to all the media that was inside the main home.  This was only capable because of Fibre optic cable.
