PURPOSE: APPARATUS: Fiber optics of various lengths Trainer boards Function generator and LED Circuits Radio Wood board and tape Reflective Material Paper Ac voltmeter Cables INTRODUCTION: Fiber optics refers to a field of study under both engineering and applied sciences. It deals with the designing and usage of optical fibers. The fibers are flexible and transparent manufactured through the drawing of plastic or silica (glass) to diameters slightly greater than those of human hairs. Most often, optical fibers serve in the transmission of light between the two fiber’s ends. They find a wide use communications since they can ...

Introduction

The fiber optic systems are systems which use light as a mode of communication. The system includes fiber cables which allow for the transmission of light through them. Inside the cable are special coatings for protection and also to enable the transmission of light through total internal reflection (Hoss and Lacy). The light is then converted into electrical signals through the use of light detectors having in mind that the signal was produced by a light emitting diode. The use of optics is very wide since the use of light is much more efficient and also flexible being that ...

Organization Culture

Sarros,Copper & Santora(2008) finds that most organizations concentrate in bringing the latest technological infrastructure to transform the procedures of work. In doing so, organizations tend to ignore the workers and organization culture which is the engine that has the most impact. An organization culture depends with the founders of the institution their beliefs and core practices. It is vital for an organization to engage the employees who design products to enable the organization become successful. Leaders’ decision-making criteria affect the behavior of workers. In this view Sarros,et al (2008) suggest that to ensure a high performance culture ...

A computer network or topology is how computers are connected to each other. This is the physical and logical connection of computers. The selection of a network is important for it determines the speed and efficiency of communication in the network. There are three types of networks which include the local area network (LAN), metropolitan area network (MAN) and wide area network (WAN). These are used in accordance to the size of the area. For instance the local area network is used in areas of radius not exceeding 30 miles. It is mostly used in offices and small institutions. Comparing ...

(Course No.) (City & State) A recommended solution for Karaaka is fiber optic connection. Fiber optic networks operate at high speeds of up to gigabits thereby providing considerably high data rates. In addition, fiber optics has the advantage of transmitting signals over long distances unaffected. Analogue systems provide a host of challenges in transmission and distribution. In analogue implementation, the logical and physical connections are one and the same implying that most connections are point-to-point with each cable representing individual channels. Analogue audio for instance requires copper cables for signals, but these systems offer little flexibility to accommodate ...

Healthcare personnel are increasingly incorporating and employing technology-based alternatives to support and improve healthcare delivery. Telemedicine programs are rapidly gaining traction all over the world. Telecommunication technologies are utilized to exchange medical information and data thus allowing seamless provision of healthcare across social, cultural, geographical and temporal barriers. Current technologies in fiber optics include baseband and broadband video fiber optic transmissions. Broadband fiber optic communication is the latest technology that encompasses applications that utilizes high speed and high bandwidth consumption. Such applications such as fiber optic CCTV transmission and VOSCOM’s fiber optic transmission systems for transmitting multimedia ...

INTRODUCTION

The internet is termed as a revolutionary change in every society because of the technological and societal changes it brings about. The ease of access and exchange of information has become a phenomenon that is replacing old concepts. Companies are outsourcing their services to companies located overseas through the internet. The place and time of working has been greatly impacted by the internet. People work from the comfort of their homes at any time of the day and night possible through improved internet connectivity thanks to technologies such as fiber optics. The paper will review some of the current fiber optic ...

Technology is taking an important role in each and every aspect of our lives. It has ventured in virtually aspects of our lives impacting heavily on three main aspects of our lives. The text elaborates clearly on our dilemma between three technological pillars that make our lives fully intertwined with technology. These pillars are: computers, communication and digital entertainment. The book extensively elaborates what a computer is, communication within the various forms of networks and consequences of digital world alongside the advantages (Beckman, 4). Among the many issues discussed in this book is the issue of computer hardware. From a ...

Discussion on Inclusion/Exclusion of Fiber Optics and UTP Cabling Design for Gates Widget Company

Fiber Optics an UTP Cabling in Design

Mr. B. Gates the owner of Gates Widget Company has ordered to design a cable network that will be used for the three buildings in the companys premises namely, Day care, factory and the administrative building. The focus of discussion in terms of inclusion and exclusion of cabling technology is for the administrative building. There are two types of cables that will be used in the design. First is the UTP or unshielded twisted pair which has a maximum VDV ( ...
