What is Optical Fibre?(General info)

Optical Fibre is essentially a medium in which to send large amounts of information down a single channel at very high speeds.

Utilises Hard Clad Silica glass to carry pulses of light (which represents the information transmitted) over short or potentially very long distances

Results:

-The receiver is not capable of detecting a single bit-Increase of BER-Decrease of data rate, and velocity of the transmission- In extreme cases, the transmission is lost

General Standards

– ISO/IEC is applicable worldwide and valid in the Middle East

– Generic Premise Cabling– Currently we have five all-silica optical fibre “types” or “Categories” specified

in the generic cabling standards.– Internationally, ISO/IEC 11801 specifies OM1, OM2, OM3 and OS1. In

addition, ISO/IEC 24702 (Generic cabling for industrial premises) specifies OS2.

Multimode Fibre

Multi-mode optical fibre (multimode fibre or MM fibre) is a type of optical fibre mostly used for communication over short distances, such as within a building or on a campus. Typical multimode links have data rates of 10 Mb/s to 10 Gb/s over link lengths of up to 400 meters—more than sufficient for the majority of premises applications
