We sit down with fiber optics expert John Bruno to talk about what is changing fastest in fiber and what those changes mean for real technicians and designers. We dig into hollow-core fiber, multi-core fiber, and MMC connectors, then zoom out to the mindset and habits that build a long career in the ICT and low voltage trades.
• why fiber demand keeps rising with AI data centers and infrastructure buildouts
• the case for trades and apprenticeships alongside college paths and the debt question
• hollow-core fiber basics, why latency and attenuation matter and why price matters too
• what hollow-core could mean for long distance and subsea networks
• multi-core fiber explained, what multiple cores change and what it could replace
• splicing, testing, bend sensitivity and crosstalk concerns with next-gen fiber types
• MMC connectors for extreme density and why rack space drives connector innovation
• how install speed improves while troubleshooting and repair get more complex
• misinformation in fiber, common myths and how solid procedures beat ego
• career advice for the next generation, learn daily, make mistakes and keep going
