What is optical fiber?An optical fiber is

a thin, flexible, transparent fiber

that acts as a waveguide, or "light pipe," to

transmit light be-tween the two

ends of the fiber.first demonstrated by Daniel

Colladon and Jacques Babinet in Paris in the early 1840s

E/O & O/E Conversion ??

E/O & O/E Conversion

Conversion operation

Advantage and Disadvan-tage

More data and faster than coaxial cable.• Cheaper and Small space• Long life• Small noise

Hardly to find defects to optical fiber cable. • Need E/O conversion
