Optical Fibre Cable - What You Should Know
An optical fibre cable, also called an optical fibre cable, is a very strong and very long thread like wire, but consisting of one or more optical fibres that are capable of transmitting light with the help of light waves. Fiber optics is used in many computer products and it is also widely used in telecommunication devices. This optical fibre cable is considered to be the future of telecommunication because of its high bandwidth transmission, tens of gigabits per second (Gb/s) transfer rate, low insertion loss and high resistance to moisture, heat and corrosion. Also, this type of cable offers high sensitivity, reliability, and security. There are two main types of optical fibre cable transmission; single-mode and multi-mode. Single-mode fibre enables data to be transmitted in certain pattern at a very fast speed over long distances. On the other hand, multi-mode fibre enables data to be transmitted in series, where each bit is transmit at a different frequency to generate a ma...
