Advantages of Optical Fiber Cables

Hello, friends welcome to Only Tech Today in this article, I will explain to you the advantages and disadvantages of optical fiber. So first, I explain the advantages of optical fiber.

There are number of advantages of Optical Fiber as compared to conventional copper wire cable.

• So first, Advantages are cheaper optical fiber is made up of silica it means sio2 silica source and light material which is one of the most evident material on the earth it means it is very easily available material on the earth so the overall cost of fiber optical communication is lower than the equivalent cable communication system

 

• The next advantage of optical fiber are it is smaller in size lighter in weight flexible and strong as we see the cross-section of optical fiber is about a few hundred microns so it is smaller in size due to this the fiber is less bulky it means it is lighter in weight here are g19 oblique you it means radio government 19 oblique you who excel table bait about 1100 kg per kilometer plastic plate silica fiber cable weight is around 6 kg per kilometer only optical fiber are quite flexible and strong.

 

 

• Next Third Advantage of optical fiber are wider bandwidth optical fiber have ability to carry a large amount of information file a telephone cable compose of 900 pair of wire can handle 10,000 poles a 1 mm optical fiber can transmit 50,000 calls so optical fiber cable having wider bandwidth at compared to all telephone cable.

 

• Next, the immunity to EMI or RFI EMI is the electromagnetic interference and RF is radio frequency interference optical fiber provides high immunity to electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference in optical fiber as we know information transmitted in the form of light so we can say that it can information by photon so photon is electrically neutral in nature and cannot be disturbed by high-voltage field lightning, etc therefore the fiber is immune to externally causes background noise generated by EMI electromagnetic interference or radio frequency interference.

 

• Next in optical fiber cable there is no crosstalk the light wave propagating along the fiber is completely trapped within the fiber and cannot leak out like a knot couple into the fiber from sides in view of this feature possibility of crosstalk in optical fiber cable is minimum when the optical fiber is used there for transmission is more secure and private in case of optical fiber cable

 

• Sixth advantage our optical fiber cable are not hazardous because a via communication link could accidently short-circuit high-voltage line so it's parking will be occur there and a great damage occur at the leading areas such accident cannot occur in the fiber optical links since fiber links are made up of insulating materials next is low loss per unit length in optical fiber there is no loss per unit length the transmission loss per unit length of optical fiber is about 4 DB per kilometer therefore longer cable run between repeaters as feasible if copper wire cable are used the repeater are to be spaced at interval of about 2 kilometer in this case of optical fiber the interval can be as lie hundred kilometer and ever so these are the benefit of optical fiber cable now this advantage of optical fiber cable in optical fiber cable installation and maintenance of optical fiber required a new set of skills it required skill Labor's for installation and maintenance next they required specialized and costly equipment like OTDR optical time-domain reflectometer etc need for more expensive optical transmitter and receiver that increased the overall cost of the system due to this type of equipment the investment cost of optical fiber system are costly next more difficult and expensive to its place then buyer if we want to join to optical fiber ends here in optical fiber is ply system so it splices very costly as compared to shouldering in copper wire cable.
