Presentation Transcript
What is fiber optics Fiber optics is simply strands of flexible glass as thin as human hair that is used for telecommunications. These strands carry digital signals with light. When hundreds or even thousands of these strands are arranged in bundles, it is called an optical cable.
Advantages of fiber optics over traditional copper cables Higher Carrying Capacity Less signal degradation Low Power Digital Signals Use Light Flexible Non-flammable
Advantages of fiber optics over traditional copper cables Light weight Thinner Less Expensive No cross talk No Tapping We can use near power lines
Applications of fiber optics 90 % of Long distance telephony. 50 % of local telephony. Internet Military applications Most LAN backbones Mechanical inspection Medical imaging Sensors
