Is this question for your schoolwork?Abdul Wali said:Hi,
i am trying my best to find the "limitations/Constraints of Fiber Optics and Coaxial cable for average home user ?" but i could not make to find it online. So May someone help me with this. Thanks in Advance.
Fiber optics use thin strands of glass or plastic to transmit data through light signals, while coaxial cable uses copper wires to transmit data through electrical signals. Fiber optics are faster and can transmit data over longer distances, but coaxial cable is more affordable and can be used for both internet and television.
In fiber optics, data is transmitted through light signals that bounce off the walls of the thin glass or plastic strands. In coaxial cable, data is transmitted through electrical signals that travel through the copper wires. Both methods use different types of modulation to encode data into the signals.
It depends on your needs. For high-speed internet and long-distance data transmission, fiber optics is typically the better option. For basic internet and television needs, coaxial cable may be more affordable and suitable.
Fiber optics have several advantages, such as faster data transmission, lower attenuation (loss of signal strength), immunity to electromagnetic interference, and the ability to transmit data over longer distances. They are also thinner, lighter, and more versatile than coaxial cable.
One disadvantage of fiber optics is that they are more expensive to install and maintain compared to coaxial cable. They also require specialized equipment for installation and repairs, and are more fragile and susceptible to damage. In addition, fiber optics may not be available in all areas, making coaxial cable the only option for some users.
