Communication

Optical Fiber are mainly used for Communication, commonly used in telecommunications, computer networking and endoscopy. Fiber optic products are very thin and small which means fewer data blockages. All type fiber cables use the same principles to carry information. Fiber optics cables have five major components which are;

• Core
• Cladding
• A Buffer Coating
• Strengthening
• Cable Jacket

There are two types of fiber optic cable, first is Single mode – In this cable consists of one strand of glass fiber with a diameter of 8.3 to 10 microns, which is considered narrow and other hand Multi mode– which made up of glass fibers all of the same diameter which ranges from 50 to 100 microns.

You know that this technology has been surrounding around since the 1870’s. This Technology first introduction started showing up in the 1950’s. Fiber optics are the safest option for data because there is no electrical current being passed through fiber optic cabling, only light. Fiber Optics are very fast data can be transmitted through fiber optic cabling faster than traditional cabling, the current record is 15.5 Terabits per second over a distance of 7,000 km. Fiber Optics uses in many field like gun sight, imaging optics, spectroscopy, supply low levels of power, signs, art and even artificial Christmas trees. Fiber is good for the environment. Lower energy requirements means a lower carbon footprint and lower price of operation.

Here are ten facts about the Fiber Optics

• Fiber Optics are thinner
• Fiber Optics are Lightweight
• Fiber Optics are more Secure
• Fiber Optics are Binary
• Fiber Optics are more Efficient
• Fiber Optics  use less energy
• Fiber Optics are Green
• Fiber Optics use Light
• Fiber Optics are Faster
• Fiber Optics aren’t Influenced by Weather Condition:
