What is Fiber Optic Cable?
Fiber Optic Cable:
A Fiber Optic cable consists of hundreds or thousands of thin strands of glass
that transmit beams of light instead of electricity. It is 10 then hair. Data
transfer rate of Fiber Optic is very fast. There is no chance of data loss.
Light pulse is not affected by random electromagnetic interference in the
environment. They have much lower error rates than normal telephone twisted pair are coaxial cable.
It
is latest technology according to a research if half population of the world is
on one side of a single Fiber Optic cable and the other half on the other side
of the same Fiber Optic cable, they can communicate with each other if proper
multiplexing technique are used.
Advantages of Fiber Optic Cable:
- System performance Greatly increased bandwidth and capacity
- Lower signal attenuation (loss)
- Immunity to electrical noise
- To noise the immune (electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference)
- Less restrictive in harsh environment
- Overall system economy
Disadvantages of Fiber Optic Cable:
- Fiber optic components are expensive
- Fiber transmitters and receivers are still relatively expensive compared to electrical interfaces
- The lack of standardization in the industry is also Limited the acceptance of fiber optics.
