What is an optical cable connector?
The optical cable connector is the terminal at the end of the cable, which is made of optical fiber strands and bears digital signals. For most consumers, the most common connector of the optical cable is a small Toslink plug, which usually carries digital sound signals in home stereo and theater systems. Other optical cable connector standards are used in the network area in which optical fiber cables provide extremely high bandwidth. This connector dates back to 1983, when it was developed to transmit digital audio signals from compact disks players to digital converters to analogs and today used with a number of audio and video devices that appear digital audio signals. Toslink optical cables are relatively small and are easily inserted because they can only be inserted at the correct angle and click on the location when they are properly connected. Their key advantage over Conne -based Conne -based wires is that because it carries light impulses MThe electrical signal is not subject to electrical interference from other cables.
Many home theater systems use a high -resolution multimedia interface cable that combines video and audio signals over one connection. This may be problematic because HDMI cables can combine many different signals into a physically small cable with a relatively small connector, which is at risk of signal degradation after long runs. For this reason, the combination of optical fiber cables for audio and digital TV cables for video signals can provide better power over long distances. Although the exact distance at which the HDMI cables become inappropriate is different, it is a good rule that the consumer searches for an alternative to HDMI, if the cable must be more than 50 feet in length (15.2 m).
Application of computer networks also use the fiber optical cables due to their ability to carry extremely highLook the data bandwidth and bridge over long distances. Over the years, many standards of optical cables have appeared, with newer connectors are usually much smaller than older connectors. As with the optical cable connector of the Toslink, the optical network cables usually pack the fiber in the protective rail to protect it from damage and to align either light receivers or other optical cables. Most of the time, individual computer users will not use optical cables for their network networks, as the fiber connection usually connects entire campuses or offices with a larger public network.
