Photons travel at the speed of light, whereas electrons used
in copper travels
at less than 1% of the speed of light.
8. History
• Discovered by Tyndall
• First used 1950’s
• Kao and Hockham published a paper at 1966
• Available commercially in 1980
• operated at a bit rate of 45 Mb/s and allowed repeater spacing of
up to 10 km

9. Main Sections Of
Fiber Optic Cable
• Main light transmitting section.
➢ Middle position.
• Guide for the light wave that
reflect back light wave into the
core.
➢Made by pure silica.
• Protecting section for core and
cladding from ultra violate
➢Gives cable rigidity.

11. Why It is the best communication system ?
• Enormous potential
bandwidth.
• Small size and Weight
• Total Electrical Isolation
12. • Signal Security
• Low Transmission Loss
• Potential Low cost
Why It is the best communication system ?
13. Need to Improve: Disadvantage side
• High Initial Cost.
• Requires Specialized Maintenance.
14. Development in fiber optic communication
• Material used in fiber optic cable
• Sensor development
• Development in fiber technology in
‘HAPs’
15. Most Application of optical fiber
