2. Fiber-optic communication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_communication

   Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of infrared or visible light through an optical fiber. [ 1][ 2] The light is a form of carrier wave that is modulated to carry information. [ 3] Fiber is preferred over electrical cabling when high bandwidth, long distance, or immunity ...

3. Optical fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_fiber

   A bundle of optical fibers. A TOSLINK fiber optic audio cable with red light shone in one end. An optical fiber, or optical fibre, is a flexible glass or plastic fiber that can transmit light [ a] from one end to the other. Such fibers find wide usage in fiber-optic communications, where they permit transmission over longer distances and at ...

4. Single-mode optical fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-mode_optical_fiber

   In fiber-optic communication, a single-mode optical fiber ( SMF ), also known as fundamental- or mono-mode, [ 1] is an optical fiber designed to carry only a single mode of light - the transverse mode. Modes are the possible solutions of the Helmholtz equation for waves, which is obtained by combining Maxwell's equations and the boundary ...

5. Optical Carrier transmission rates - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_Carrier...

   Optical Carrier transmission rates are a standardized set of specifications of transmission bandwidth for digital signals that can be carried on Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET) fiber optic networks. [ 1] Transmission rates are defined by rate of the bitstream of the digital signal and are designated by hyphenation of the acronym OC and ...

6. Multi-mode optical fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-mode_optical_fiber

   Multi-mode optical fiber. Multi-mode optical fiber is a type of optical fiber mostly used for communication over short distances, such as within a building or on a campus. Multi-mode links can be used for data rates up to 800 Gbit/s. Multi-mode fiber has a fairly large core diameter that enables multiple light modes to be propagated and limits ...

7. Optical time-domain reflectometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_time-domain...

   An optical time-domain reflectometer ( OTDR) is an optoelectronic instrument used to characterize an optical fiber. It is the optical equivalent of an electronic time domain reflectometer which measures the impedance of the cable or transmission line under test. An OTDR injects a series of optical pulses into the fiber under test and extracts ...

8. Fiber-optic cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_cable

   A fiber-optic cable, also known as an optical-fiber cable, is an assembly similar to an electrical cable but containing one or more optical fibers that are used to carry light. The optical fiber elements are typically individually coated with plastic layers and contained in a protective tube suitable for the environment where the cable is used ...

9. Optical fiber connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_fiber_connector

   An optical fiber connector is a device used to link optical fibers, facilitating the efficient transmission of light signals. An optical fiber connector enables quicker connection and disconnection than splicing . They come in various types like SC, LC, ST, and MTP, each designed for specific applications. In all, about 100 different types of ...
