Optical Fiber
Optical fiber is fiber cable made of thin strands of glass over which data/light signals can be transmitted.
Optical fiber is made of a core, the thin glass center where data is transmitted, the cladding, the material surrounding the core that traps the light signal in the core, and the buffer coating, which is a protective coating applied onto the fiber.
Optical fiber has many advantages over other kinds of cable used for data transmission. These advantages include:
- Lighter weight
- Smaller diameter
- Higher bandwidth
- EMI and RFI resistant
- Better suited for data transmission
- Non-flammable
- Use less power
- Less signal degradation
