- In an optical fiber, the information is passed through light, which must not escape outside of it.
- This phenomenon of confining the light inside the optical fiber is termed as Total internal reflection.
- For this, the construction and material used to ensure that the total internal reflection of light takes place to prevent the escape of it.
The data rate of different communication systems is:
|
Twisted wire |
300 bps – 10 Mbps |
|
Microwave |
256 Kbps – 100 Mbps |
|
Satellites |
256 Kbps – 100 Mbps |
|
Coaxial Cables |
56 Kbps – 200 Mbps |
|
Fiber optic cable |
500 Kbps – 10 Gbps |
