Simple Uses:

• The simplest use of optical fiber is the transmission of light to locations otherwise hard to reach.

Answer 2

Optical fibres are used when there is a high bandwidth requirement for the data stream. You can approach the microwave region (1 gbps) with an optical fibre, but you would have a hard time doing that with copper.

Answer 3

Telephones were one of the first uses for fiber optics. Many times internet and telephone signals travel over the same cables. Digital television (also known as cable TV) is often transmitted by fiber optic cables.

Answer 4

1)It helps to create a LAN,CAN etc.

2)It is mainly used in business organisation for creating single-cable network

Answer 5

It replaces usual cables based on metal cores aluminum or cupper.
High speed telephone networking is one application of fiber optics.

Answer 6
