By Michelle Collier, RCDD. Fiber optic cable provides a low loss medium for high-speed communications.

The biggest cause of signal loss across fiber optic connectors is. contamination.
The blue crab's scientific name, Callinectes sapidus, is from Latin and Greek: calli, beautiful; nectes, swimmer; and sapidus, savory-beautiful, savory swimmer. Like insects, blue crabs have stalked compound eyes and can see in almost every direction at once.
The blue crab is found on the western edge of the Atlantic Ocean from Argentina to Nova Scotia, yet have been found in the waters of Japan and Europe. The blue crabs have a large variety of predators including eels, drum, spot, trout, some types of sharks, and cownose stingray.
