Fiber Internet is the world's fastest Internet access technology. Thanks to the speed of fiber Internet offered in only a few countries in the world, you can listen to any music you want at the click of a button, download the movie you are curious about in less than a minute or watch it instantly. In addition, you can share even the largest files in the blink of an eye and easily play the most advanced online games.
While trying to connect to the Internet with old telephone cables in ADSL and VDSL, in Fiber Internet, you connect to the Internet with fiber optic cables through which light passes.
Why Is It Fast?
Fiber internet is a service that provides very high speed broadband internet access. Fiber optic cables are used in its infrastructure. Unlike copper cables, fiber optic cables transfer information not by electrical signals but by light. Thus, it transmits more information to very long distances without interruption at much higher speeds.
Fiber optic
Fiberoptic or Optical fiber is an optical fiber composed of plastic or glass fibers through which light can direct. Optical fibers are frequently used in fiber optic communication systems because they allow data communication over long distances to be made faster and at higher values compared to other communication materials. The reason why fiber cables are used instead of metal cables is that they cause less loss and are not affected by electromagnetic interference. Optical fibers are also used frequently in the construction of many sensors (receivers) and similar applications.
Light is kept in the center of the Optical fiber by internal reflections. In this way, the fiber acts like a waveguide. Fibers that support multiple broadcast lines or crossover modes are called multimode fibers. Fibers that support only one mode are called single-mode fibers. Multimode fibers usually have a large diameter core and are used in short distance communication lines where more power needs to be transmitted. Single-mode fibers are used in communication lines over 200 meters.
Adding fiber optic cables is a much more complicated process than adding electrical wires or cables. The ends of the fibers to be joined must be carefully split and melted mechanically or by electric arc. There are also special connectors that are designed to be detached later.
The most robust and least lossy way of adding single-mode and multi-mode fibers used in telecom and local network infrastructures is the fusion splicing technique. For this, a fiber optic splicing tool (in other words, a fusion splicing tool) is needed. These devices, which have become very easy to use today and have lowered prices, automatically align the fibers and weld at temperatures up to 2200 degrees.
