____________ in the Information Age and its resultant goal of ____________ have led to a growing reliance on organization and control of information processes, new/enhanced skill sets, rapid development and fielding of new technologies both in existing and new military fields, and their use to confer an operational advantage on commanders of our forces.

Copper Twisted Wire

A form of wiring in which two conductors (two halves of a single circuit) are wound together for the purposes of canceling out Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). Primary wire type for telephone usage and is very common for computer networking.

Fiber Optics

Made up of super-thin filaments of glass or other transparent materials that can carry beams of light. Used for telephone backbone architecture and as the long-distance connection between city phone systems. One end is a transmitter using Light-Emitting Diode (LED) or an Injection-Laser Diode (ILD) generating light pulses

Single Mode Fiber

Is used in many applications where data is sent at multi-frequency Wave-division-multiplexing (WDM) so only one cable is needed. Provides better performance at a higher cost. Higher transmission rate and up to a distance of 50 times farther than multimode.

Multi-Mode Fiber

Slightly larger diameter than single mode. Similar performance to glass cable at very short runs, but at lower cost. Multi-mode offers high bandwidth at high speeds over medium distances.
