Application of single-mode optical fiber

Application Fields and Markets

The materials of optical fibers mainly include quartz glass, multi-component glass, plastic, composite materials (such as plastic cladding, liquid core, etc.), infrared materials, etc. Among them, the cost of using plastic as the core fiber is relatively low. For example, the four core single-mode fiber sold in the market is only 2-3 yuan/meter, and the price of single-mode/multi-mode fiber transceivers is also between 300-500 yuan. So its application cost is very low.

In the past, our traditional idea when building a network was that only twisted pair cables were used in the LAN, and optical fibers were only used when connecting to the Internet at a high speed. Some enterprises or factories and mines have a wide range of LANs, and have higher requirements for network stability. Here we recommend the use of optical fibers. The cost of using optical fibers is not much higher than that of using super five twisted pair cables that meet the standards. And there is no need to worry about lightning strikes, no need to consider the effective distance of the local area network, everyone can refer to and use it in future work.
