Fiber cables
Optical fibers are widely used to permits transmission over longer distances and at
higher bandwidths than other forms of communication. Fibers are used instead of metal wires
because signals travel along them with less loss and are also immune to electromagnetic interference.
Fibers that support many propagation paths or transverse modes are called multi-mode fibers (MMF),
while those that only support a single mode are called single-mode fibers (SMF). Multi-mode fibers
generally are used for short-distance communication links and for applications where high power
must be transmitted. Single-mode fibers are used for most communication links longer than 300
meters (1,200 ft.).

Optional peripheral add-ons
The JetCam can be connected to a Canon Birger lens control module that can be purchased and that
can be controlled using JetCam's virtual communication port. Here is a brief explanations on how to
make those connection and use Birger's lens control:

Power down the camera.
Connect the Birger adaptor to the Canon lens and to the camera via the GPIO connector.
Connect the fiber cables and the USB cable and power up the camera.
