  • What type of communication engineering is optical fiber cable

    What type of communication engineering is optical fiber cable

    Fiber-optic communication is a form of optical communication for transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of infrared or visible light through an optical fiber. The light is a form of carrier wave that is modulated to carry information. Unlike traditional copper cables that carry electrical signals, fiber optics use light—guided by total internal reflection—to deliver information with minimal loss over vast. In conventional or traditional communication, the metallic cables (copper cable) are used for transmitting or carrying the Information Signal and an Information signal is in the form of an electric signal. The information signal is always non electric signal (Audio or Video) therefore it is first. Overall, there are two types of fiber optic cables available: multimode and singlemode, with both types having a number of subtypes.
