Best Answer

Multi mode fiber are optical fibers which support multiple transverse guided modes for a given optical frequency and polarization. The number of guided modes is determined by the wavelength and the refractive index profile.

What fiber is denim most commonly made from?

Denim is most commonly made out of cotton (which is a strong, absorbent, comfortable, and versatile fiber). However, today there are also many cotton-synthetic fiber mixtures.


How does fiber glass work?

Fiber glass is stands of glass that comes in many forms. You can use it for vehicle hoods/parts, it is in some fabrics from earlier days, and it is also in insulation.

What is the flexibility for optical fiber to transmit many signals?

Flexibility? That is a broad term, but my best answer would be extremely flexible. As for the current conventional methods? Limited. Fiber optics transmit data by using light pulses. If you send more than one(ish) signals, the data interpretation and back end logic would be proportionally slowed down. If you don't understand that, I can't help you. However, I gave extremely flexible as an answer first, and let me explain. Traditional fiber optics isn't as developed as it should be, and lacks the programming side necessary to take it to a true multi-channel level. Since it isn't hardware, the properties of light dictate its only bounds (past the front and back side engineering). You think of a way to transmit and interpret light pulses, and optical fiber will be your medium of choice. If you can't think of a way, just copy everyone else with their outdated fibers with limited signals. KTHX BAI.

How do you connect a 3Com switch to a fiber cable?

A switch or device that converts fiber optic to cat5 cable. Search Google for "fiber-optic to cat5" Many commercial switches also have a fiber optic port also that transitions from fiber-optic to cat5 cabling. Also search ebay for "10/100 Fiber Media Converter". Found several listed there for $100 or less, single and multi.

What is the difference between dual fiber single mode and dual fiber multi mode?

There are 2 major differences one color code. single mode will be white or yellow. multimode will be black or tan. 2nd the hole in the connector ferrel for the fiber. fiber is 125 microns. in a single mode connector the opening is 126 microns. multimode is 127/128.Single Mode cable is a single strand (most applications use 2 fibers) of glass fiber with a diameter of 8.3 to 10 microns that has one mode of transmission. Single Mode Fiber with a relatively narrow diameter, through which only one mode will propagate typically 1310 or 1550nm. Carries higher bandwidth than multimode fiber, but requires a light source with a narrow spectral width. Synonyms mono-mode optical fiber, single-mode fiber, single-mode optical waveguide, uni-mode fiber.Single Modem fiber is used in many applications where data is sent at multi-frequency (WDM Wave-Division-Multiplexing) so only one cable is needed - (single-mode on one single fiber)Single-mode fiber gives you a higher transmission rate and up to 50 times more distance than multimode, but it also costs more. Single-mode fiber has a much smaller core than multimode. The small core and single light-wave virtually eliminate any distortion that could result from overlapping light pulses, providing the least signal attenuation and the highest transmission speeds of any fiber cable type.Single-mode optical fiber is an optical fiber in which only the lowest order bound mode can propagate at the wavelength of interest typically 1300 to 1320nm.Multi-Mode cable has a little bit bigger diameter, with a common diameters in the 50-to-100 micron range for the light carry component (in the US the most common size is 62.5um). Most applications in which Multi-mode fiber is used, 2 fibers are used (WDM is not normally used on multi-mode fiber). POF is a newer plastic-based cable which promises performance similar to glass cable on very short runs, but at a lower cost.Multimode fiber gives you high bandwidth at high speeds (10 to 100MBS - Gigabit to 275m to 2km) over medium distances. Light waves are dispersed into numerous paths, or modes, as they travel through the cable's core typically 850 or 1300nm. Typical multimode fiber core diameters are 50, 62.5, and 100 micrometers. However, in long cable runs (greater than 3000 feet [914.4 meters), multiple paths of light can cause signal distortion at the receiving end, resulting in an unclear and incomplete data transmission so designers now call for single mode fiber in new applications using Gigabit and beyond.More Information:Multimode and Singlemode fiber are the five types of fiber in common use. Both fibers are 125 microns in outside diameter - a micron is one one-millionth of a meter & 125 microns is 0.005 inches- a bit larger than the typical human hair. Multimode fiber has light travelling in the core in lots of rays, called modes. It's a bigger core (always 62.5 microns, but sometimes 50 microns) & is used with LED sources at wavelengths of 850 & 1300 nm for slower local area networks (LANs) & lasers at 850 & 1310 nm for networks jogging at gigabits per second or more. Singlemode fiber has a much smaller core, only about 9 microns, so that the light travels in one ray. It is used for telephony & CATV with laser sources at 1300 & 1550 nm. Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) is large core (about 1mm) fiber that can only be used for short, low speed networks.Step index multimode was the first fiber design but is slow for most makes use of, due to the dispersion caused by the different path lengths of the various modes. Step index fiber is rare - only POF makes use of a step index design today.Graded index multimode fiber makes use of variations in the composition of the glass in the core to compensate for the different path lengths of the modes. It offers hundreds of times more bandwidth than step index fiber - up to about 2 gigahertz.Singlemode fiber shrinks the core down so small that the light can only travel in one ray. This increases the bandwidth to infinity - but it is practically limited to about 100,000 gigahertz.


How many characters per second can be transmitted over a 1200-band line in each what modes considering a character code of 8 bits synchronous serial transmission asynchronous with 1 stop?

for 8 bit synchronous serial transmission total transmitted characters will be 1200/8 and for asynchronous transmission with 1 stop total bit will be (8+1+1=10) i.e. (8 bit + start bit+stop bit) so transmitted characters will be 1200/10
