Fiber optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber. The light forms an electromagnetic carrier wave that is modulated to carry information. Fiber optic communication systems have revolutionized the telecommunications industry and have played a major role in the advent of the Information Age. Equipment manufacturers in the fiber optic communication field produce various Fiber Optic Products (cable, transceiver, switch, router, and network components) that make and/or route connections from point-to-point via a central office location. These products are used in networks supporting wired or wireless applications, providing an efficient, cost effective, and reliable fiber optic networks.

Optical fiber is most widely used to transmit telephone signals, Internet communication, and cable television signals. Fiber optics (most refers to bulk fiber optic cable)is the transmission of data via light waves passed through glass threads. Single-mode fiber is used in conjunction with laser light to transfer data more than five miles in distance. Multimode fiber is used with a lower frequency light-emitting diode (LED) for shorter transmissions. Fiber optic cable has the advantages of lower signal attenuation, higher bandwidth allowing more data to be delivered, much lighter, do not suffer from stray interference pickup, etc. Bulk optical cables are fully meet the requirements of long distance and high demand. Fiber optic cables are really amazing. They are used a lot today in common life like on computers, cable television, and telephone communication.

Each coin has two sides, bulk fiber optic cables are not perfect; they can break. Sometimes when crews are digging, they accidentally can tear up the cables. They can be repaired through splicing, typically includes fusion splicing and mechanical splicing. It refers to cutting off the broken ends and reconnects them using special adhesives, heat, or special connectors with fusion splicer, fiber optic cleaver, etc.

Fiber optic cables had developed into many types to meet different applications, such as indoor cables, outdoor cable, waterproof cables, Ribbon cables, bare fiber, etc. There are also fiber optic patch cables or fiber optic patch cords, a fiber optic cable terminated with different connectors on the ends. Through fiber optic cables and patch cables, many optical devices can be connected, such as fiber optic transceivers, switches, multiplexer and demultiplexer, optical splitters, fiber amplifiers, fiber attenuators, etc. As you know, fiber optic transceiver is another important device in fiber optic telecommunication, it converts high speed data from a cable source to an optical signal for communication over optical fiber. Fiber optic transceiver modules offer a convenient and price effective solution for that adoption of Gigabit Ethernet and Fiber Channel in data center, campus, metropolitan area access and ring networks, and storage area networks.
