Materials For Optical Fibers There’s two major kinds of optical fibers: plastic optical fiber (POF) and glass optical fiber. POF fiber is usually designed for lighting or decoration such as fiber optic christmas trees. It is also used on short range communication applications for example on vehicles and ships. Because of plastic optical fiber’s high attenuation, […]

How to Choose the Right Fiber Optic Cable
Fiber optic cable has become a standard component in a majority of cable infrastructures. This is because it can transport signals across large distances quickly and is immune to electromagnetic interference and radiofrequency interference. How to choose the right fiber optic cable? Here are some factors to consider before you buy optical cable. 1) The […]
Merits and Applications of Fiber Optic Cables
Fiber optic cable consists of glass fibers, allowing for significantly higher transfer speeds compared to copper. The cable uses glass fibers instead of copper wires to transmit conversation and data. Glass cables need to be custom-cut so that they have a nice crisp edge that doesn’t scatter the light, but plastic optical fiber can be […]
Plastic Optical Fiber Transmission Principle
Glass fiber has a dominant position in optical communication. But it has some fatal weakness including the low intensity, poor anti-bending performance, and bad resistance to radiation. For nearly 20 years, scientists have been looking for a new transmission medium and finaly they found plastic optical fiber as a medium is feasible in the light […]
Advantages of Fiber Optic Cables Compared to Copper Cables
Nowadays, fiber optic cable has been more and more popular instead of the copper cable. However, these two different types actually have several different varieties of uses either in office or residential areas. Fiber optic is the latest technology in cabling or wiring system that allows you to get more advantages. Copper cable is the […]
Why Fiber Optic Cables are used in Communication More and More
The latest improvement in telecommunication is brought to us by fiber optics equipment. They help transmit signals to much greater distances without loss. They are much higher and better than any regular wireless connections when they work at their maximum level of speed. Unlike wireless connections, fiber optics do not experience any signal loss. But […]
