How It Works Fiber Optics

Robert Maurer created in the 70 day of what we know today as óptcia fiber, and this is capable of transmitting data using light pulses.

To date its use has increased and to meet the current needs of society has a high bandwidth capable of supporting a large amount of information in data, voice and video to conventional copper cable used previously.

Telecommunication companies bet on this technology installed in wiring telephone line thanks to its optimal manufacturing costs. It is composed of a silica base that protects the light that traverses the inner zone where the kernel to Reflect and this will be kept inside.

There are substantial advantages in the field of copper cable networks, are not subject to electromagnetic interference, no loss of data generated in long-distance routes, the cabling is lighter and able to reproduce the data digitally. A disadvantage is the difficulty of repair by ligation of filaments due to their thin section and the cost of installation.

The progress of the cable television network has resulted in a CATV hybrid networks called HFC, fiber leads from the headend to the node and coaxial cabling to the house. Being able to provide comprehensive customer service.

ONO use this national system through a modem with coaxial input, the HFC network is divided into different upload and download channels that are able to offer speeds of 100 Megabits a day.

FTTH technology is used by Movistar can theoretically provide greater speed due to the entry of fiber optic cabling to the house. The operator uses an optoelectronic converter connected to the central ONT OLT providing the user to connect to the network.

The type of copper pair network is the most widespread and available to the broad coverage provided by telephone lines. This kind of connection is most often used for transferring data at home working on ADSL technology.

In Spain there are a number of offers ADSL and cable to choose the most suitable. On the Internet there are resources to help choose among offers the most appropriate adsl to our needs
