Best Answer

Only economical when the bandwidth is fully utilised

High cost of installation

A lot of hardware at the moment is not compatible with fibre optic cables, they need to be adapted in order to make use of them

What is Relationship between electrical and optical bandwidth for an optical fiber communication?

The electrical bandwidth refers to the frequency range that the electronic components in the communication system can handle, while optical bandwidth refers to the frequency range that the optical fiber can transmit. The relationship between the two bandwidths is important in ensuring that the data transmission is efficient and reliable. Matching the electrical and optical bandwidths helps to avoid signal degradation and distortion in the communication system.

What is meant by attenuation in Optical Fiber Communication?

When an optical signal of a given wavelength travels in the fiber it looses power. The amount of loss of power per Km length of fiber is called its attenuation. A=10*LOG10(POUT/PIN) dB/Km Where POuT is optical power after 1 Km PIN is th epower launched in the Fiber.
