      What Is One Advantage Of Using Fiber Optic Cabling Rather Than Copper Cabling?

      The fiber optic cables will carry the signals much farther than the copper cablings. Today, let us learn why fiber optic cables are much faster than copper cables. Copper wiring is used as electrical wiring from the originality of the electromagnet and the telegraph. In the ancient days, copper wire became the material for long-distance communication. This copper would show to be an unreasonable material for many decades until the invention of fiber optics. The fiber optic cables will use the pulses of light that need to be generated by a LED in order to transmit the data along with the strands of glasses or by the special plastics. While the copper on the other hand relies on the transmission of the electric current along with its length in order to perform the same function that the data is to be transmitted on the copper cables as the electrical pulses, a detector will receive and decode the signals. Yet, the deeper the signal travels, the stronger it gets deteriorates. This is the type of phenomenon that is pointed to as signal attenuation. With the help of fiber optic cables, a transmitter will convert the electronic type of information into the form of pulses of light. All the pulses are given in the format of the binary system that is in the form of 0’s and 1’s. With one pulse that is equating to the 1 and a no pulse that is equating to the 0.

      When all these pulses will reach the other side of the cable there will be an optical receiver that converts the pulses or the lack pulses follows into the form of electronic information. When we compare the relative performance of both copper and fiber optic wires, both the fiber optic cables and the copper wires will transmit the data at a speed slower than the speed of light that is present in a vacuum. Though we have many developments in the fiber optic cables all these are tried to be closer to the speed of the light, however, the copper wire or the fiber optic cables could not be able to reach the data at the speed of light.

      The fiber optic cables will have the higher throughout put of the two, especially for the long distances. A local area network will be using the modern copper lines that can usually handle 3000 phone calls at any time.

      The fiber optic cables can handle more than 30000 calls at a time which is far more than the copper lines. This difference in the throughput of the data can be determined by the frequency range by which both the cables can manage. If the frequency range is higher, the higher the bandwidth will be and more data will be transferred through the cables at any time.

      Hence, this is the main difference between the two types of cables. The fiber optic cables will be having a higher bandwidth capacity when compared with their copper wire counterparts. This is the reason where the fiber optic cables can carry much higher frequency ranges than copper cables.
