Questions and Answers

What medium is primarily used in optical fiber for data transmission?

  • Copper cables
  • Metal wires
  • Wireless signals
  • Plastic or glass fibers (correct)
  • What is a characteristic of multimode fiber?

  • It has a much smaller core compared to single-mode fiber
  • It is typically used for long-distance communication
  • It has a single path for the light signal

    Study Notes

    Optical Fiber Communication

    • Optical fiber is associated with data transmission using light pulses traveling through a long fiber made of plastic or glass.
    • Metal wires are not preferred for transmission in optical fiber communication as signals travel with more damage.
    • A fiber optic cable can contain any number of glass fibers, ranging from a few to a couple hundred.

    Types of Fiber

    • There are two main types of fiber, each with different applications.
    • Multimode fiber has a large core, allowing for multiple paths through the fiber.
    • Single-mode fiber has a much smaller core, allowing for only one path.
