By Michelle Collier, RCDD. Fiber optic cable provides a low loss medium for high-speed communications. While. the continuous fiber cable itself is low loss, terminations at each access point provide a. potential Achilles heel. 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 Land Crab is found throughout the Caribbean, Central and South America including Columbia, Venezuela, the Bahamas, and Puerto Rico. Within the U.S. it is limited to the Gulf of Mexico and coastal Florida and is rarely found more than 8 miles from the ocean.
