Which device convert light signals on fiber optic cables into voltage?

fiber conventer


Can alternating current be transmitted through fiber optic cable?

No. Nor can direct current, for that matter. Fiber optics is designed to transmit light signals, not electrical currents.


What are the difference between Erbrium doped fiber amplifier and semi-conductor amplifier?

A doped fiber amplifier amplifies light in the fiber as a LASER.A semiconductor amplifier is an electronic circuit that amplifies electrical signals.


Are noise and interference major propagation problems for optical fiber propagation?

No. Fiber is immune to electrical interference; there is no cross-talk between signals in different cables and no pickup of environmental noise.


Which types of signals are carried over a DSL cable?

DSL is carried over a phone line. Yet it caries digital signals. the telephone company has to limit the bandwidth of the analog voice on the lines. So DSL is able to use the unused portion of the bandwidth to transmit digital data. hope that helps -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- According to Cisco : Network devices link together using a variety of connections: * Copper cabling - Uses electrical signals to transmit data between devices * Fiber-optic cabling - Uses glass or plastic wire, also called fiber, to carry information as light pulses * Wireless connection - Uses radio signals, infrared technology (laser), or satellite transmissions. so your answer would be electrical signals.


How can you use fiber optical cable for PC to PC communication?

You will need a special card for each PC that would convert the communication signals (electrical signals) into optical code. Then you would connect the optical ports of both machines together via fiber optic cable. Ideally one card (one per machine) would be able to transmit and receive optical code over two strands of fiber. One strand for transmit the other for receive.


What converts light signals into digitally formatted electrical signals?

To convert light signals into digitally formatted electrical signals requires a device called a camera. Also, an optical fiber digital converter in the course of fiber optics. For electrical power transmission, photovoltaic cells convert light into power.


An electrical impulse moving down an axon is called?

This is called action potential. Action potential is the change in electrical potential that occurs between the inside and outside of a nerve or muscle fiber when it is stimulated, serving to transmit nerve signals.


Do Fiber-optic cable send or receive electrical signal?

No. Fibre optic cables use light instead of electrical signals. Depending on the function of the optical fibre either a laser or an LED will be used.


Analog transmission using fiber optic system?

The transmission characteristic of a fiber optic channel is highly non-linear. It makes it a very bad medium for analog signals. Luckily it doesn't interfere with digital transmissions.


Is fiber optics and Fiber optic sensors are same?

No, A fiber optic sensor is a sensor that uses optical fiber either as the sensing element ("intrinsic sensors"), or as a means of relaying signals from a remote sensor to the electronics that process the signals ("extrinsic sensors").


What is the difference between copper cables and fiber-optic cables?

Both are meant to transfer signals, but they use quite different technologies.Copper will transport electrical signals.Fiber optic will transfer the signal as a ray of light.Of course, both are part of special technologies; fiber optics cable needs special switches and network cards to work with it.Both are meant to transfer signals, but they use quite different technologies.Copper will transport electrical signals.Fiber optic will transfer the signal as a ray of light.Of course, both are part of special technologies; fiber optics cable needs special switches and network cards to work with it.Both are meant to transfer signals, but they use quite different technologies.Copper will transport electrical signals.Fiber optic will transfer the signal as a ray of light.Of course, both are part of special technologies; fiber optics cable needs special switches and network cards to work with it.Both are meant to transfer signals, but they use quite different technologies.Copper will transport electrical signals.Fiber optic will transfer the signal as a ray of light.Of course, both are part of special technologies; fiber optics cable needs special switches and network cards to work with it.
