  2. 0:04cable
  3. 0:08when it comes to choosing a cable there
  4. 0:10are fiber optic cable advantages and
  5. 0:12disadvantages
  6. 0:14a fibre optic cable is a network cable
  7. 0:16that has strains of glass fibers inside
  8. 0:19an insulated casing
  9. 0:21or in other words an optical fiber cable
  10. 0:24is a type of cable
  11. 0:25in which several optical fibers are
  12. 0:27connected usually covered by the
  13. 0:29protective plastics
  14. 0:31they are planned for long distance high
  15. 0:33recital data networking
  16. 0:35and telecommunications fiber optic
  17. 0:38cable essentially consists of two layers
  18. 0:41of glass
  19. 0:42the core which indicates the actual
  20. 0:44light and the cladding
  21. 0:45which is a layer of glass around the
  22. 0:47core a layer called a buffer tube
  23. 0:50protects the cladding and the jacket
  24. 0:52layer works as the final protective
  25. 0:54layer for personage stresses
  26. 0:56the cladding has a lower reflex index
  27. 0:59than the core
  28. 1:00this leads to basic internal reflection
  29. 1:04most fibers work in duplex joints one is
  30. 1:07used to transmit
  31. 1:08fiber and the other is used to receive
  32. 1:11but it is possible
  33. 1:12to send both signals in the same way
  34. 1:15types of fiber optic cable
  35. 1:20it has two types the first type of cable
  36. 1:24is single mode fiber
  37. 1:25smf and the second is multi-mode fiber
  38. 1:28mmf multi-mode fiber can carry multiple
  39. 1:32light
  40. 1:33modes at the same time by having
  41. 1:34different optical properties
  42. 1:37the shortest route must be travelled the
  43. 1:40larger core simplifies connectivity
  44. 1:42and takes advantage of low cost led and
  45. 1:45vcscl technologies that run in the 850
  46. 1:48nanometers window
  47. 1:50the single mode fiber has a base size of
  48. 1:53nine microns
  49. 1:54is very small and has a light path and
  50. 1:57can travel up to 100 kilometers
  51. 2:00this requires more expensive electronics
  52. 2:02that run on windows 1310 and 1550
  53. 2:06nanometers and
  54. 2:07are commonly used in long distance lands
  55. 2:10cable tv
  56. 2:11and telephone applications how fibre
  57. 2:14optics works
  58. 2:19fiber optics transmit light in the
  59. 2:21arrangement of particles or photons that
  60. 2:23pulsation via fibre optic cable
  61. 2:26the light bounces off the walls
  62. 2:28repeatedly and travels under the fibre
  63. 2:30optic cable
  64. 2:32glass fiber cores and cladding each have
  65. 2:34a separate reflex
  66. 2:35indicator that deflects incoming light
  67. 2:37from a particular angle
  68. 2:40when light signals are transmitted by a
  69. 2:42fiber optic cable
  70. 2:43they reflect core and cladding in a
  71. 2:45sequence of zigzag
  72. 2:47bounces and this procedure is followed
  73. 2:49by a method called internal reflection
  74. 2:52light indicators do not travel at the
  75. 2:54speed of light because they indicate
  76. 2:56layers of glass
  77. 2:57instead of traveling 30 slower than the
  78. 3:00speed of light
  79. 3:01fiber optics transmissions sometimes
  80. 3:04require repeaters at long intervals to
  81. 3:06renew or boost the signal throughout its
  82. 3:08journey
  83. 3:09so that by converting the optical signal
  84. 3:11into an electrical signal
  85. 3:13the optical signal can be implemented
  86. 3:15optically
  87. 3:16the signal can be transmitted again uses
  88. 3:20of fiber optics fibre optic cables
  89. 3:22transmit huge amounts of data at very
  90. 3:24lofty speeds
  91. 3:26therefore this technology is generally
  92. 3:29applied to internet cables
  93. 3:31compared to traditional copper wires
  94. 3:33fiber optic cables are heavier
  95. 3:36lighter and more elastic and take more
  96. 3:38data
  97. 3:39it has never been easier to make a
  98. 3:41telephone call inside or outside the
  99. 3:43country
  100. 3:44with the use of fibre optic
  101. 3:46communication you can quickly connect
  102. 3:48and communicate clearly with both
  103. 3:50parties without a break
  104. 3:52the use of fiber optics in the field of
  105. 3:55decorative lighting has also increased
  106. 3:57in recent years
  107. 3:59fiber optic cables offer easy reasonable
  108. 4:02and gorgeous solutions for lighting
  109. 4:04projects
  110. 4:05as a result they are widely used in
  111. 4:07lighting decorations and bright
  112. 4:09christmas trees
  113. 4:11fibre optic cables are extensively used
  114. 4:14in drug and research
  115. 4:16optical communication is an important
  116. 4:18part of non-invasive surgical procedures
  117. 4:21known as endoscopy the use of fiber
  118. 4:24optic cables in signal transmission has
  119. 4:27increased exponentially in recent years
  120. 4:30these cables are ideal for transmitting
  121. 4:32signals to high definition televisions
  122. 4:35because of their high bandwidth and
  123. 4:36speed
  124. 4:38similarly fiber optic cables are cheaper
  125. 4:40than the same amount of
  126. 4:42copper wire fiber optic cables play an
  127. 4:45important role in the lighting and
  128. 4:47safety features of existing automobiles
  129. 4:50they are widely used in lighting both
  130. 4:52interior and exterior of vehicles
  131. 4:55due to space conservation and high light
  132. 4:57supply capacity
  133. 4:59fibre optics are used in more and more
  134. 5:01vehicles every day
  135. 5:03fibre optic cable advantages and
  136. 5:08disadvantages
  137. 5:11fibre optic transmission using optical
  138. 5:13fiber is becoming more and more common
  139. 5:15in modern society
  140. 5:17driven by the growing demand for high
  141. 5:19bandwidth and high speed connectivity
  142. 5:21for various industrial and residential
  143. 5:23purposes
  144. 5:25here are some details of the advantages
  145. 5:27and disadvantages of fibre optic
  146. 5:29transmission
  147. 5:31fibre optic cable advantages
  148. 5:36low power loss an optical fiber offers
  149. 5:39low power shortages
  150. 5:41allowing longer transmission distances
  151. 5:44compared to copper in a network the
  152. 5:46longest distance of copper is 100 meters
  153. 5:49while with fiber
  154. 5:50it is two kilometers faster speeds
  155. 5:54optical fiber cable supports extremely
  156. 5:57high bandwidth and speed
  157. 5:59the most important advantage of optical
  158. 6:02fiber cable is the information
  159. 6:03transmitted per unit
  160. 6:06better reliability fiber is protected
  161. 6:09from temperature changes
  162. 6:11extreme weather and humidity all of
  163. 6:13which can interfere with copper cable
  164. 6:15communication
  165. 6:17also the fiber does not carry an
  166. 6:19electric current
  167. 6:20so it is not bothered by electromagnetic
  168. 6:22interference
  169. 6:23emi which can hinder data transmission
  170. 6:27flexibility an optical fiber has more
  171. 6:31precise strength than copper or steel
  172. 6:33fibers of the same diameter it is
  173. 6:36flexible
  174. 6:37bends easily and resists most serious
  175. 6:39elements attacking copper cable
  176. 6:42thinner and light weighted fiber optic
  177. 6:45cables are much
  178. 6:46thinner and lighter than metal wires
  179. 6:49they also take up less space with cables
  180. 6:51with the same information capacity
  181. 6:54lightweight fiber makes it easy to
  182. 6:56install
  183. 6:57optical fiber is thinner and can be tied
  184. 7:00in a smaller diameter than copper
  185. 7:02wires these comparable copper wire
  186. 7:05cables are smaller in size and lighter
  187. 7:07in weight
  188. 7:08offering a better fit for areas where
  189. 7:10space is a concern
  190. 7:12security optical fibers are difficult to
  191. 7:16tap since they do not activate
  192. 7:18electromagnetic energy
  193. 7:20they cannot stop the emission because
  194. 7:23tapping fiber physically takes great
  195. 7:25skill in doing unwanted work
  196. 7:27fibre is one of the safest means of
  197. 7:29transporting sensitive data
  198. 7:32bandwidth fibre optic cables have a much
  199. 7:35larger bandwidth than metal wires
  200. 7:38the most important advantage of this is
  201. 7:40the information
  202. 7:41transmitted per unit time fiber on other
  203. 7:44transmission media
  204. 7:45longer distances fiber optic cables can
  205. 7:49carry
  206. 7:50signals far beyond the 328 foot limits
  207. 7:53specified for copper cables
  208. 7:56for example some 10 gigabits per second
  209. 7:59single mode fiber cables can carry a
  210. 8:01signal about
  211. 8:0225 miles away the actual distance
  212. 8:05depends on the cable type
  213. 8:07wavelength and network cost
  214. 8:10optical fiber cable can be made several
  215. 8:13miles
  216. 8:14cheaper than the equivalent length of
  217. 8:15copper wire
  218. 8:17to compete for market share with many
  219. 8:19vendors the price of optical cable is
  220. 8:21sure to come down
  221. 8:23the raw materials for glass are much
  222. 8:25higher than for copper
  223. 8:27this means that glass can be made
  224. 8:29cheaper than copper
  225. 8:31fibre optic cable disadvantages
  226. 8:36although the advantages of using fiber
  227. 8:38optic transmission far outweigh the
  228. 8:40disadvantages
  229. 8:41its disadvantages should not be
  230. 8:43underestimated
  231. 8:45difficult to splice optical fibers are
  232. 8:48difficult to separate and scattering
  233. 8:50causes light loss in the fiber
  234. 8:53they have a limited physical arc of
  235. 8:55cables
  236. 8:56if you twist them too much they will
  237. 8:59break
  238. 9:00fragility it is made of glass which is
  239. 9:03much more delicate than electrical
  240. 9:05cables such as copper cabling
  241. 9:08not only that but glass can also be
  242. 9:10damaged by
  243. 9:11chemicals such as hydrogen gas that can
  244. 9:13affect transmission
  245. 9:15due to its weakness special care has to
  246. 9:18be taken with laying fiber cable
  247. 9:20underwater
  248. 9:21can't be curved transmission on optical
  249. 9:24fiber has to be repeated at long
  250. 9:26intervals
  251. 9:28when just a few centimeters of radius
  252. 9:30curves are wrapped
  253. 9:31the fibers can be broken or the
  254. 9:33transmission can be damaged
  255. 9:36highly susceptible fiber optic cable is
  256. 9:39a small and compact cable
  257. 9:41and it is extremely sensitive to cuts or
  258. 9:43damage during installation or
  259. 9:45construction activities
  260. 9:47fiber optic cables can provide great
  261. 9:50data transmission capabilities
  262. 9:53therefore when fibre optic cabling is
  263. 9:55chosen as the transmission medium
  264. 9:57its maintenance backup and survival must
  265. 10:00be identified
  266. 10:02attenuation and dispersion with long
  267. 10:05distance transmission
  268. 10:06the light will diminish and scatter
  269. 10:09which means additional components such
  270. 10:11as edfa
  271. 10:12erbium doped fiber amplifier an optical
  272. 10:15repeater device used to amplify optical
  273. 10:18signals
  274. 10:18which are run through a fibre optic
  275. 10:20communication system
  276. 10:22fibre optic cable has both advantages
  277. 10:25and disadvantages
  278. 10:27however in the lengthy sprint optical
  279. 10:30fiber will put back copper
  280. 10:32in today's network fibre optic cable is
  281. 10:35becoming more popular and widely used
