Fiber Optics
The biggest advantage of optical fiber is the fact it can transport more information longer distances in less time than any other communications medium. In addition, it is unaffected by the interference of electromagnetic radiation which makes it possible to transmit information and data with less noise and less error. Fiber is lighter that copper wires which makes it popular for aircraft and automotive applications.

These advantages open the doors to many other applications that make the use of optical fiber the most logical choice in data transmission.

This course will provide the basic knowledge and hands-on practice needed to work successful with this unique material.
