How are Fiber Optics used for Communication?
By Elsa Taylor-Cless Fiber Optics is becoming very prominent in the world of communication. On this web page I will answer the question-How are fiber optics used for communication. Fiber Optic cables is being installed to replace older, slower copper carrier wires for phone companies. These fiber optic cables can carry up to 20,000 messages due to technical encoders and decoders, for comparison, copper wires carry up to 30 phone calls. In one second an entire encyclopedia set (40 volumes, 40 million words) can be transferred. Phone conversations are electronically converted to light pulses. Some local telephone companies use lasers to transmit messages through fiber optics. Fiber optics have an advantage over copper wires in terms of higher volume of information. Fiber optic cables cannot be bugged or taped.
