Fiber Optic Solutions

Optical fiber is used by many telecommunications companies to transmit telephone signals, Internet communication, and cable television signals. Due to much lower attenuation and interference, optical fiber has large advantages over existing copper wire in long-distance and high-demand applications.

Optical Networks, such as SONET/SDH, are most common infrastructures that support very heavy load of traffic data. As the network's speed increases the transmission frequency increase at the same proportion while the requirements to maintain low transmission noise are still applicable.

In reality, high capacity transmitting systems are more susceptible to noise, due to high rate of transmission, and a special care is required when integrating such systems. In order to maintain low noise and transmission quality, each network must utilizes an internal frequency source with a low jitter capabilities and/or ability to clean recovered network reference signal following the clock recovery process.
