Advantage of optical fiber over copper wire
His fastest developing transmission medium is fiber optic cable. It is preferred for both new cable installation and upgrades including horizontal, backbone and desktop applications. Today, CATV and telephone companies are switching to fiber.
Why people select fiber over copper? Great bandwidth – Bandwidth provide by fiber is far greater than copper. It has standardized speed performance of 10 GBPS. Fiber speeds depend on the kind of cable used. Moreover, fiber carries more information loyally than copper. Reaches greater distance with little loss – During transmission through fiber cable data moves with speed covering very large distances and little signals are lost. Copper wire needs booster to travel to a limited distance (100 meter), but fiber wires can travel from 300 meters to 40 kilometers. However, it depends on the cable style, wavelength and network. Better security – signals are not radiated through fiber. You can monitor it easily because it will leak light causing entire system failure. You can even have all your hardware and electronics at a single location. Protection and consistency – Data gets protected well from environmental factor in fiber wires. The centre is made from glass, an insulator that does not allow current to flow through. It is immune to radio frequency and electromagnetic interferences, impedance issues, crosstalk and more. Fiber is less vulnerable to temperature fluctuation than copper cables. Design difference – Fiber is thin, lightweight and durable than copper wire. It’s small size takes less room in cabling ducts. Easy migration path – The popularity of inexpensive media convertors are making
migration from copper to fiber very easy. The existing hardware can be used and linked seamlessly using the convertors. Cost – Fiber installation charges are more than copper. Fiber wires are expensive, but in the long run they may actually turn out to be less expensive. You can save on maintenance, less downtime and less networking hardware.
