2. This presentation will provide information about the following aspects:

Physical Aspects

3. Performance 4. Advantages and Disadvantages 5. Future ExpectationsFiber Optics
6. Physical Aspects
Fiber Optics
7. Fiber Optics consists of three things:
Outer Buffer
Protects the fiber from bending and mechanical stress
Cladding
Made of pure silica glass
Core
Path for light to travel through
Fiber Optics
8. Modes
Single Mode

Has a smaller core 8 to 10 microns

9. Better for long distances 10. Cladding125 microns Multimode

Has larger core 62.5 micron

11. Better for shorter distances 12. Cladding 125 micronsFiber Optics
13. Different Types of Fiber Optic Cables
.

Plastic

14. Tight Buffer 15. Zipcord 16. Breakout 17. ArmoredFiber Optics
18. Performance
Fiber Optics
19. Fiber Types and Typical Specifications
There are two factors to be concerned with when it comes to performance:

Attenuation

(the loss of light)

Bandwidth

(Information capacity)
Fiber Optics
20. Advantages and Disadvantages
Fiber Optics
21. Advantages
Disadvantages

Completely immune from crosstalk or noise

22. Very wide bandwidth which allows very large amounts of data to be sent over the cable 23. Low loss 24. Flexibility 25. Strength 26. CostFiber Optics
27. Future Expectations
Fiber Optics
28.

Fiber Optic cabling andaccessoriescosts are declining to a point where soon the average middle class family can afford to upgradetheir telecommunication systems at a great rate.

29. The demand for more technicians to convert and install a fiber optic system will go up in residential areas.Fiber Optics
