FAQs

Fibre optics are thin strands of glass or plastic that transmit data using light signals.

Light signals are sent through the fibre strands, bouncing off the walls due to total internal reflection, allowing data to be transmitted over long distances.

Fibre optics offer higher data transmission speeds, longer distances without signal loss, and immunity to electromagnetic interference.

Fibre optics are commonly used for high-speed internet connections and telecommunications networks.

Attenuation refers to the loss of signal strength as light travels through a fibre, leading to reduced signal quality over long distances.

Dispersion is the spreading out of light signals as they travel through a fibre, limiting data transmission quality at high speeds.

Splitters divide a single optical signal into multiple signals, allowing one input to be distributed to multiple outputs.

Data is converted into light signals using lasers or LEDs, and these signals are then sent through the fibre strands.

Connectors are used to join fibre optic cables, ensuring precise alignment for efficient light signal transmission.

The cladding is a layer surrounding the core of the fibre, designed to reflect light signals back into the core, preventing signal loss.

Fibre optic cables are not affected by weather conditions, as they transmit light signals internally and are insulated from external elements.

Fibre optic cables can be bent, but excessive bending can cause signal loss or distortion due to increased attenuation.

Fibre optics will continue to play a crucial role in advancing internet speeds, 5G networks, and high-definition video streaming due to their high data transmission capabilities.
