What is Fiber-Optic TV?

Fiber-Optic TV concerns television programming supplied using an optical network of cables, rather than antenna, satellite or cable transmissions. Optical fiber cables consist of a strand of glass of human hair width, which carry digital signals along the length of the transfer line. Hundreds of these finely spinned glass fibers are also known as optical fibers, are connected together in a protective jacket and transmit information about the television program through light pulses. Fiber-Optic TV requires the use of a special receiver, similar to cable television, to interpret signals from the optical cable and translate them into pictures on the customer's TV. There are many advantages of transmission of information about optical fibers, including cheaper components, faster transfer rates and clearer income. The fiber optics consist of very thin glass strands connected together in a protective CNDOification. Light impulses carry data length cable line of optical fibers, with less disturbing and RYI bread than conventional copper wire. Glass is less exposed to disturbances and interference than metal, so customer intake is often more consistent and clearer than when using copper lines of cable TV provider.

When switching to Optic TV, a new cable will be needed to run into the customer's house. The technician checks to make sure that the current coaxial cable system can handle TV signals with optical fibers generated by an optical network. For each TV on the network, it will be necessary to install the box to decode the signal, similar to the standard cable TV. The TV fiber-optical signal can sometimes be so strong that the transmission must be dampened, so that the box does not destroy the fibers.

The

Advantages of TV-Optic TV includes lower costs than cable for setting-off, lighter components and very fast transfer rates that are less likely to be sensitive to interference. Their flexibility, the ability to carryDigital signals and capacity to transfer many long distances without adversely affecting the quality of the signal, and also causes optical optics to be suitable for other uses such as telephone and internet. Other applications that use fiber optics include medical screening tools such as endoscopes and mechanical inspection tools used in the aviation industry.

The main disadvantage of TV with optical fibers and other telecommunications use is the lack of availability. Despite surveys showing consumers' interest in television with optical fibers, many areas of the US have no access to service in 2011. At least one provider focuses on expanding services in these areas that already use optical services rather than spreading the network to other markets.
