Optical Fiber Cables: A Unique Communication

Medium

Overview :
Here are some unique qualities of an optical fiber
cable you should know.

An OFC cable is used

for
communication
devices like your phone
or your PC.

The high transmission

capacity of an optical
fiber cable makes it the
best transmission wires
that could be used for
communication across
a long distance.

Here are some unique facts about the OFC Cable you
should know;
1. An OFC cable is the most secure communication
wire
The dielectric material of the wires makes it almost
impossible to tap into an OFC cable. And, it is immune
from any conducted or radiated interference. This makes
this wire fit for expanding it through a long distance
without worrying about the security.

2. The OFC cable has a much greater bandwidth

compared to a conventional copper wire
A greater bandwidth implies that the wire can carry
information at a much higher rate than any other
conventional wire, making it fit for long distance
transmission.
3. Using an OFC cable causes the signal loss to
minimize

In a conventional copper wire, the signal loss would

be huge, slowing down the speed of transmission.
But, the unique fiber cables minimize this to a mere
negligible amount, causing the speed to increase.

4. OFCs can range up to 40

kilometers
The conventional copper
wires had a restriction of
100m range. But the optical
fibers can now range up to 40
km distances without causing
a problem. Various factors
have a role to play in this,
including the fact that the wire
has
a
much
greater
bandwidth and causes no
signal loss and that it is a high
voltage cable.

5. An OFC is a Fireproof
cable
Not only is the material of
the OFC fireproof, but also
unsusceptible
to
fluctuation
of
temperatures. The core of
these cables is made of
glass, which makes the
wire an insulator as well.
Copper,
compared
to
these wires, was a good
conductor, and easy to put
on fire. Making the OFC a
much better alternative..

6. An OFC is lightweight
and more durable

An OFC cable is an
extremely lightweight and
easy to handle cable as
compared to any other
conventional alternative.
However, even after being
such a small size, the wire
is much more durable. Its
unique material makes it
immune to almost any
natural fluctuation.

7. OFC cable is the

most inexpensive
Even after being the
best at almost any
quality required, the
OFC cable is the
most inexpensive of
all the alternatives.
