In this lecture, we are going to learn about Optical fiber communication, a Block diagram of optical fiber communication systems, types, and modes of optical fiber, and the advantages and applications of optical fiber communication. The OM1 designation refers to the cable's optical specifications, specifically its bandwidth and attenuation characteristics. An Optical Fiber is a cylindrical fiber of glass that is hair-thin in size or any transparent dielectric medium. Main goal of designing the optical fiber cable is to offer ultra performance data. This series of courses are based on the Navy Electricity and Electronics Training Series (NEETS) section on Fiber Optic cable systems. The NEETS series is produced by the Naval Education and. A TOSLINK optical fiber cable used for audio transmission has a small plastic tip that will show the visible light being transmitted by the cable when plugged in at one end, while a fiber optical patch cable may be fitted with a connector called an LC connector at each end.
