LOCALIZATION &
RECTIFICATION OF
OPTICAL FIBER FAULT
OBJECTIVE
OPTICAL FIBER
An
CONSTRUCTION OF OPTICAL
FIBER
The main purpose of a fiber
optic cable is to protect the fiber core
inside the cable that carries the light
signal transmission.
OPTICAL FIBER
BUFFER
The is third layer, buffer coating are UVcurved urethane composite materials applied
to the outside of the fiber during the drawing
process.
JACKET
The last layer is the cable jacket,
which are comprised of different materials
depending on the choice of the end user and
the application in use. Like the primary
coating, they serve only a mechnical
protection ti the fiber core and cladding
inside.
PRINCIPLE OF OPTICAL
FIBER
An optical fiber is a cylindrical dielectric
waveguide (nonconducting waveguide) that
transmits light along its axis, by the process
of total internal reflection.
The fiber consists of a core
dielectric materials.To confine the optical
signal in the core,the refrative index of the
core must be greater than that of the
cladding.
TYPES OF OPTICAL
FIEBER
Single mode optical fiber:
OPTICAL FIBER
FAULTS
The
RECTIFICATION OF OPTICAL
FIBER
An OTDR is an
optoelectronic
instrument used to
characterise an
optical fiber.
FUSION SPLICING
Fution splicing is the act of
joining two optical fiber
end to end using heat.
The goal is to fuse
the two fiber together in
such a way that light
passing though the fibers
is not scattered or
reflected back by the
splice.
ADVANTAGE OF OPTICAL
FIBER
The advantage of optical fiber is:
Enormous Bandwidths
Low transmission loss
Immunity to cross talk
Electric isolation
Small size and weight
Signal security
Ruggedness and flexibility
Low cost and availability
DISADVANTAGE OF OPTICAL
FIBER
The disadvantage of optical fiber are: High cost of installation
Fragility- optical fiber are more fragile than
electrical
wires.
Requires special skill- Optical fibers can
not be joined together as a easily as copper
cable
Affected by chemicals.
