Fiber optic communication ABSTRACT FIBRE-OPTICS COMMUNICATION Most reference materials that discuss the historical perspective mention about Indian smoke signals. None of these primitive systems was secure due to the spreading of the unguided light. Ideally‚ a communication system should be secure and should not require installation of a cumbersome physical media. Fiber optics satisfied these desires‚ and as early as 1958‚ fiber-optic equipment was being focused for use in the factory. The fiber-optic

FIBER-OPTIC COMMUNICATION Introduction Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber. The light forms an electromagnetic waves that is modulated to carry information. First developed in the 1970s‚ fiber-optic communication system have revolutionized the telecommunication industry and have played a major role in the advent of the information over age. Because of its advantages over electrical

Copper vs Fiber Some advantages of Copper Cabling are Power over Ethernet this gives you the ability to power phones‚ surveillance cameras‚ Wireless Access Points‚ and many other devices right through the networking cable itself. That means that you don’t have to schedule an electrician in to run power to your surveillance cameras to power them. Another advantage is the ability to have an emergency power supply that will continue powering mission critical devices even if your electricity goes
