To use Optical fiber for communication using you need to create the optical signal which can be done using a transmitter. Then you need to relay the signal along with the fiber, making sure that the signal does not become weak or distorted. The next step is to receive the optical signal and lastly to convert it into an electrical signal. Most of the telecommunications companies used Optical fiber for the transmission of telephone signals, cable television signals and Internet communication. Optical fiber has lower attenuation and interference. There are many advantages that optical fiber has over the copper wire. The only disadvantage it has is that it is not easy to develop infrastructure within cities and is time-consuming.
