CS610 GDB

Fiber optics is the best transmission medium because:

• System Performance
• Greatly increased bandwidth and capacity
• Lower signal attenuation (loss)
• Immunity to Electrical Noise
• Immune to noise (electromagnetic interference [EMI] and radio-frequency interference [RFI]
• No crosstalk
• Lower bit error rates
• Signal Security
• Difficult to tap
• Non conductive(does not radiate signals)Electrical Isolation
• No common ground required
• Freedom from short circuit and sparks
• Size and Weight
• Reduced size and weight cables
• Environmental Protection
• Resistant to radiation and corrosion
• Resistant to temperature variations
• Improved ruggedness and flexibility
• Less restrictive in harsh environments
• Overall System Economy
• Low per-channel cost
• Lower installation cost
