Based on the information that i have learned in data communication, fiber optics can have the advantages and disadvantages. Fiber optics is kind of technology that uses glass (or plastic) threads (fibers) to transmit data. A fiber optic cable consists of a bundle of glass threads, each of which is capable of transmitting messages modulated onto light waves. Fiber optics has several advantages over traditional metal communication lines that gives more reliable service to the users. It have a much greater bandwidth than metal cables can be more sufficient in transmitting data. This means that they can carry more data to the much reliable way.This cables are less susceptible than metal cables to interference. Fiber optic cables are much thinner and lighter than metal wires. Data can be transmitted digitally (the natural form for computer data) rather than analogically. The main disadvantage of fiber optics is that the cables are expensive to install. In addition, they are more fragile than wire and are difficult to splice. Fiber optics is a particularly popular technology for local-area networks. In addition, telephone companies are steadily replacing traditional telephone lines with fiber optic cables. In the future, almost all communications will employ fiber optics. This lesson gives me an interesting factor that will deal me to focus to this subject.
