Upgraded version of fiber optic cable for Swiss railway communications
Unlike traditional loose tube cables, SWR technology allows for mass fusion splicing of up to 12 fibres at once, drastically reducing installation time, meaning that fibre backbones on the rail network can be built faster. Fiber optic cables will be laid along the railway lines and new antenna sites will be installed for future railway radio systems for the real-time transmission of large volumes of data. These radio systems connect trains with the traffic control systems in the railway's own data centers via. The DGGT-1200 family – outdoor optical fiber cables – is designed to deliver reliable and long-lasting optical transmission in outdoor environments. Passengers will be able to take advantage of seamless high-speed mobile connections in the future.

Why do fiber optic communications sometimes have bit errors
In practice, the bit error rate of a system for optical data transmission (e. a fiber-optic link) can be increased by noise influences (particularly in the receiver, but also in the transmitter and in amplifiers), by optical losses, and chromatic and other types of dispersion. The developed scheme has been tested on optical fiber systems operating with a non-return-t -zero (NRZ) format at transmission. Bit Error Rate (BER) is a critical performance metric in optical communications that measures the number of errors occurring in a transmitted data stream over a certain period. 6km long and had 2 to 4 connections at patch panels.
