The properties of the fiber optics and the network cable are different. fiber optics It is an abstract concept and a dynamic information transmission rate, while the network cable is a medium and a carrier for information transmission.
1. The theoretical transmission distance of network cables is 100 meters, and the theoretical transmission distance of the eight types of network cables is only 30 meters, while the transmission distance of single-mode optical fiber can reach 10-20 km, and the transmission distance of multi-mode optical fiber can also be 2-3 km, which is much higher than that of network cables.
2. The transmitting device at one end of the fiber uses a light-emitting diode or a laser beam to send light pulses into the fiber, and the receiving device at the other end uses a photosensitive component to detect the pulse. The network cable is the connecting line that links the computer to other computers, and the computer to other network equipment, and is usually made of metal or glass.
3. The average annual growth rate of the fiber optic and cable market reached 17.4%. Fiber optics is changing our lives.
