Q

Fiber communication

A
  • Transmission by light • The visible spectrum
  • No RF signal - • Very difficult to monitor or tap
  • Transmission over long distances
  • Immune to radio interference - There’s no RF
17
Q

UPC (Ultra-polished connectors)

A

• Ferrule end-face radius polished at a zero degree angle
• High return loss
MultimodeFiber
Shortrangecommunication,up to2km

18
Q

APC (Angle-polished connectors)

A
  • Ferrule end-face radius polished at an eight degree angle

* Lower return loss, generally higher insertion loss than UPC

19
Q
