When you want to isolate the communications between two devices or locations, a fiber link is one of the best ways to go. In certain circumstances, however, you may want to isolate the transmission of energy - in situations where a conventional copper wire can be dangerous, if not impossible, for example. That's why researchers at Sandia National Laboratories is developing a power-over-fiber (POF) communication cable. It includes not only data but also the optical power ...
