Optical Fiber carries data in the form of light signals. This property makes it very desirable to be used in internet connections. Therefore, today, many telecom companies are providing their customers with internet connections using fiber-optic cables. This presentation throws light on some of the major benefits of fiber-optics for internet connectivity.

CONNECTIVITY
WHAT IS OPTICAL FIBER?
• An optical fiber is a thin
fiber of glass or plastic
that can carry signals
from one end to another.
• Optical fibers are mainly
used in
telecommunications, but
are also used for
lighting, sensors, toys
and so on.
USE OF OPTICAL FIBER IN
INTERNET CONNECTIVITY
An internet connection using fiber optics cables
is an internet connection in which data is
delivered in light signals via small, flexible glass
wires.
The fiber-optic connection won’t deliver data as
fast as the speed of light, but it will still be
relatively very fast.
Recently, Reliance Jio has introduced fiber-optic
internet connections in India.
BENEFITS OF OPTICAL FIBER
Speed: Fiber-optic internet is many times faster than even
the highest-speed copper internet connections, with
options ranging from 5 Mbps to 100 Gbps. There are
various affordable plans available for JioFiber connection.
Reliability: Optical fiber connectivity is much more
reliable than the copper internet connectivity due to the
fact that optical fiber is stronger than copper.
Signal Strength: In case of Ethernet over copper, the
signal strength degrades as the user moves away from the
switch. The signal strength of the fiber-optic internet does
not degrade as quickly over distance.
