Application of FOCL in computer networks

Along with the construction of global communications networks, optical fiber is widely used in the creation of local area networks (LANs).
VIACOM OPTIC, a company engaged in automation and electronic technologies, designs and installs local and backbone Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, FDDI, ATM / SDH networks using optical communication lines. VISCOM OPTIC does this for three reasons. Firstly, it is beneficial. When installing extended network segments, repeaters are not required. Secondly, it is reliable. Optical communication lines have a very low noise level, which allows transmitting information with an error coefficient of not more than 10 ** (- 10). Thirdly, it is promising. Fiber-optic communication lines allow you to increase the computing capabilities of the network without replacing cable communications. To do this, you just need to install faster transmitters and receivers. This is important for those users.
A cable for connecting network segments is inexpensive, but laying it can be the largest cost item for installing a network. The work will require not only cable technicians but also a whole team of builders (plasterers, painters, electricians), which will be expensive, given the increasing cost of manual labor. The main LAN topologies are bus, star, ring. At present, optical fiber is difficult to use in the construction of a common bus, but it is convenient to use it for point-to-point communications used in the star and ring topologies.
The FOCL scheme used, in particular, in a LAN, is arranged as follows:
The electrical signal comes from a network controller that is installed in a workstation or server (for example, an Ethernet network controller), then goes to the transceiver's electrical input (for example, an ISOLAN 3Com optical transceiver), which converts the electrical signal into an optical one. An optical cable (for example, OKG-50-2) is connected to the optical connectors of the transceiver using optical connectors (for example, ST).

One strand of optical fiber is about the diameter of a human hair

As the saying goes, one strand of optical fiber is about the diameter of a human hair.CORNING It’s an amazing idea. Now, copper wires—sometimes called “twisted pair” because they are made of pairs of strands of copper twisted around one another—also carry data and telephone signals to homes and farms in much of rural America. But because of the characteristics of copper as a transmission medium, signals that travel over copper doesn’t have the extraordinary frequency range that light signals do, are subject to interference from other signals, and in general, degrade very quickly over more than a short distance. That’s why if you have a copper-wire DSL (digital subscriber line) subscription, you have to be very close to the phone company’s “central office” to get a download signal into your house. A DSL house is connected to a copper wire, not a fiber-optic cable. fiber optic installer salary Not only can light travel over fiber for hundreds of miles with little attenuation (im...

Design of the checklist of optic fiber network

The support person should also be involved to the point that he can answer most questions. You may even have more technical knowledge about the project, but you cannot have full authority to make decisions. In large projects, this person may be the one who keeps the documentation and the schedules, the one who keeps track of purchases and deliveries, permits, subcontractors, among other things, while the project manager plays a more role Practical and active Design of the checklist Planning a project is essential for it to be successful. The best way is to prepare a checklist before beginning the design process. The list below is exhaustive, but each project will have some unique requirements that will be it's own and should be added. It is not necessary that all steps be performed in a series. Some can be done in parallel to reduce the design time of the project. During the design of a project, the designer must communicate with several people and companies. Therefore contact...
