Does weather interfere with the transmission of a signal with fiber optics?

No, weather does not typically interfere with the transmission of signals through fiber optics. Fiber optic cables are not affected by rain, snow, or temperature changes. However, extreme weather conditions such as severe storms or high winds could potentially cause damage to the physical infrastructure of the cables, leading to signal disruptions.


What property of light is used in optical fibers?

a signal is beamed as a light through the fiber optics and when they are relayed to the other side a computer decodes the signal that's also how fiber optic TVs work


What does Mic stand for in Fiber Optics mic?

"MIC" stands for Mode-Field Diameter in Fiber Optics. It refers to the diameter of the optical mode in a fiber, which affects the propagation of light signals within the fiber. A smaller MIC typically results in better signal quality and lower dispersion.

What is a difference bertween coaxial and fiber optics?

Coaxial cable uses a shield to protect a copper wire carrying a signal via an electric current. The shield reduces noise on the line. Fiber optics use glass fibers carrying a signal via electromagnetic waves (i.e. light).
