Advantages:
• More flexible and more rugged than glass
• Easier to install
• Can withstand stress
• Less expensive
• Weigh approximately 60% less than glass
OPTICAL FIBER
Disadvantages:
• High attenuation
• Do not propagate light efficiently as glass
• Limited in short runs (LANs)
OPTICAL FIBER
Advantages:
• Have less attenuation
• Less affected by radiation, therefore, more attractive to
military applications.
• More immune to external interference.
• Slightly better than SCS
OPTICAL FIBER
Disadvantages:
• Difficulty in connector application due to excessive plasticity in
cladding
• Difficulty in bonding
• Insolubility in organic solvents.
OPTICAL FIBER
Advantages:
• Have the best propagation characteristics
• Easier to terminate than PCS
Disadvantages:
• Least rugged
• More susceptible to increase attenuation when exposed in radiation

Diode (ILD). The amount
of light emitted by either
LED or ILD is proportional
to the amount of drive
current.
