Fiber-optic communication refers to the transmission of information using optical fiber. Opto-electronic repeaters are used to convert fiber optic light transmissions to electrical signals.

Is fiber obtics a good conductor of electricity?

No, fiber optics do not conduct electricity well. They use light to transmit data rather than electrical signals. The fiber optic cables are made of glass or plastic fibers which carry light signals, making them a good choice for high-speed data transmissions.


Does Fiber Optic lines are immune from crosstalk?

Fiber optic lines are immune to crosstalk, which occurs when signals from one line interfere with signals on another line. This is because fiber optics carry data through light signals rather than electrical signals, eliminating the possibility of crosstalk.


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.


Is light the only signal carrier in optical fibers?

Yes, light is the primary signal carrier in optical fibers. It travels through the fiber as pulses of light, typically in the form of laser or LED signals. Other signals such as electrical signals can be converted into light signals at the source and back to electrical signals at the receiving end.


Is fiber Optics susceptible to interference?

Fiber optics are less susceptible to interference compared to traditional copper cables because they transmit data using light signals instead of electrical signals. However, fiber optics can still be affected by external factors like bending, cutting, or contamination of the fiber optic cables.


How do cables use light?

Do you mean fiber cables? If so, each glass fiber carries a beam of light which is modulated by the information being carried. These days the data is usually binary encoded before being transmitted.


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 are three diffferent methods of sending signals and codes?

Three different methods of sending signals and codes are: electrical signals sent through wires, electromagnetic signals sent through radio waves, and optical signals sent through light pulses in fiber optic cables.
