Network+ N10-009 Fiber Media
Fiber media transmits data as light pulses through glass or plastic fibers, offering high-speed, long-distance communication with minimal interference. It’s commonly used in backbone networks and environments requiring high bandwidth.
Fiber Media
Used to transmit data using light instead of electrical impulses.
Key Terms
Fiber Media
Used to transmit data using light instead of electrical impulses.
Single-Mode Fiber (SMF)
Designed for long-distance communication and features a small glass core typically around 8.3 to 10 microns in diameter.
Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF)
Tailored for shorter distances because it has a larger fiber core size that ranges from 50 to 100 microns.
