Fiber optic cable and SFP transceiver
Fiber optic cable provides protection for the optical fiber or fibers within it appropriate for the environment in which it is to be installed. Unlike the copper cables, fiber optic cables can be used to transmit large volumes of data along a single cable. Cable refers to the complete assembly of fibers,

Electrical signals are converted into light pulses which are then transmitted along the fiber cable. It is important to choose cable carefully as the choice will affect how easy the cable is to install,
AB- Sagittarius, splice or terminate, what it will cost and how long it will last in the field. Due to the advances made in fiber cable technology,
A -Capricorn, thousands of signals can be transmitted over hundreds of miles simultaneously with minimal losses in signal strength. Multimode cables, while generally lower in cost, have higher losses in signal strength as compared to single mode cables. Single mode cables are usually used in installations that are very long and require low losses. Also the transmitter and receiver and the
10G SFP –
SFP transceiver have single mode and multi mode, such like
SFP plus and
XENPAK. Above is a short presentation on fiber types and their applications. The Virtual Hands-On presentation shows how types of fiber cable are prepared for installation and splicing or termination.
