What's the principle that allow light to be sent in a single fiber that doesn't allow it to leak outside the core?
Total Internal Reflection TIR
What are two types of Fibers?
Single and Multimode
Which equipment is used for converting Optical Light into Electric Signal?
SFP (Single Form Hot Pluggable)
Which part of the fiber does the light travels through?
The Core
Which type of encoding is similar to fiber optics, in relaying messages that can be decoded by its own language?
Morse Encoding
What is this type of connector called?
ST Connector
This device boosts weak optical signals and retransmits it to make it better decoded on the other side.
Active/Passive Amplifiers
Which material within the fiber prevents light from refracting outside the middle of the fiber?
Cladding
These brothers created the first optical telegraph.
French Chappe Brothers
What type of connector is this?
SC Connector
Can Fiber transmit over 60 miles?
False
What are two materials typically used for making fiber?
Glass and Plastic
Alexander Graham Bell created a purely optical telephone in 1880 called?...
The Photophone
What type of connector is this?
LC
The technique behind bundling multiple waves of light into one beam on the transmitting side and splitting it back on the receiving end?
WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing)
How long can light permeate throughout a fiber?
100km or 60 miles
Which Company is at the forefront of creating fiber equipment, patch cords, and distribution fiber? Also, they make the glass for our cell phones!
Corning Inc.
Which fiber is superior in terms of transmitting copious amounts of data in a shorter distance, and used in college campuses and Local LANS
Multi-Mode
What is this equipment called?
Multiport Switch/Router
How is data shown within the Fiber?
By Pulsating
