What are internal controls and why are they important? Internal controls are the procedures put in place to help achieve the objectives of the university relating to financial, strategic, and academic initiatives. Good controls encourage efficiency, compliance with laws, regulations and university policies, and seek to eliminate fraud and abuse. Some everyday internal control procedures include:
Standard Fiber Optic Cable. Sealed with a Teflon jacket over a stainless steel sheath, Williamson's standard fiber optic cables are available in lengths of 3 - 30 feet (1-9 meters). Cable diameter is .25 in. (6.5mm) with a lens assembly that is 3.05 in. long x 0.5 diameter (77mm x 14mm). They are suitable for most general purpose applications.
Depending upon the type of glass that is used during cable construction, the speed of the connection may fluctuate, but still produces a very fast connection speed. The typical speed for a fiber optic Internet connection will range between 150 Mbps (megabits per second) and 500 Mbps. In comparison with cable Internet which typically provides data transfer speeds at anywhere from 5Mbps ranging to 25 Mbps, fiber optic Internet is definitely the faster of the two connections.
