Optical signals have a high frequency and fiber optic usually has a wide bandwidth. This allows optical fibers to accommodate more signals to be transmitted simultaneously.
Na mgbakwunye, the signal attenuation in optical fiber is much smaller compared to the electrical signal in copper wire. Ọzọkwa, optical signals are more resistant to interference than electrical signals.
According to Shannon’s theorem, the transmission rate is directly influenced by the signal-to-noise ratio. The signal loss of optical fiber is low. This is why the transmission rate of optical fiber is faster than that of cable.
Counting attenuation, relay devices, and electromagnetic wave interference, cable performance will be worse. Ọmụmaatụ, eriri abụọ gbagọrọ agbagọ nke a na-ejikarị nwere ike ịgaru naanị 100 m. Ogologo anya chọrọ ndị na-emegharịgharị ka ha gaa n'ihu na mgbaama.
