Physical Networking Unit 7 Assignments
Exercise 1 – Fiber Optics Definitions
1. Crosstalk – The coupling or transfer of unwanted signals from one pair within a cable to another pair.
2. Waveguides – A structure that guides electromagnetic waves along their length. The core fiber in an optical-fiber cable is an optical waveguide.
3. FTTH – Fiber-to-the-home
4. Simplex –
a. A link that can only carry a signal in one direction.
b. A fiber-optic cable or cord carrying a single fiber. Simplex cordage is mainly used for patch cords and temporary installations
5. Half-Duplex – A system in which signals may be sent in two directions, but not at the same time. In a half-duplex system, one end of the link must finish transmitting before the other end may begin.
6. Full-Duplex – A system in which signals may be transmitted in two directions at the same time.
7. Photodiode – A component that converts light energy into electrical energy. The photodiode is used as the receiving end of a fiber-optic link.
8. Amplitude Modulation – A method of signal transmission in which the amplitude of the carrier is varied in accordance with the signal. With respect to optical fiber cabling, the modulation is done by varying the amplitude of a light wave, common in analog/RF applications.
9. Analog Transmission – a transmission method of conveying voice, data, image, signal or video information using a continuous signal which varies in amplitude, phase, or some other property in proportion to that of a variable.
10. Digital Transmission – The sending of information over a physical communications media in the form of digital signals.
11. Sample Rate – Defines the number of samples per unit of time (usually seconds) taken from a continuous signal to make a discrete signal.
12. Electromagnetic Wave – A wave of energy propagated in an electromagnetic field.
13. Refraction – The bending of a beam of light as it enters a medium of different

    Duplex is similar to simplex but instead allows communication to occur both ways at any time. This means that the communication medium allows data to flow both ways on the same channel. A popular example of this would be a telephone line, as being able to talk over one another is characteristic of duplex data transmission.…

    An optical fiber is a flexible, transparent fiber made of extruded glass or plastic, slightly thicker than a human hair. It can function as a waveguide, to transmit light between the two ends of the fiber. The degragation of signal strength can be caused by light scattering, molecular level irregularities in the glass structure, and UV-Vis-IR absorption.…

    Multiplexing is the process of combining many signals, usually from slow devices, onto one very fast communications link. This sharing is achieved by a device called a Multiplexor (MUX) that organises the signals that are sent and by a corresponding device, a Demultiplexor (DEMUX), at the other end separating the signals again.…
