Correct Answer - Option 1 : I, IV, V, VI
The advantages of optical fiber communication are as follows:
Extremely High Bandwidth:
No other cable-based data transmission medium offers the bandwidth that fiber does.
The volume of data that fiber optic cables transmit per unit time is far great than copper cables.
Due to this the amount of data transmission is higher in fiber optic cables.
Resistance to Electromagnetic Interference:
In practical cable deployment, it’s inevitable to meet environments like power substations, heating, ventilating, and other industrial sources of interference.
However, fiber has a very low rate of bit error (10-13), as a result of fiber being so resistant to electromagnetic interference
Fiber optic transmission is virtually noise-free.
Hence from the above option (1) is correct
Some more advantages of optical fiber communication are.
Longer Distance: In fiber optical communication, optical cables are capable of providing low power loss, which enables signals can be transmitted to a longer distance than copper cables.
Low-Security Risk: The growth of the fiber optic communication market is mainly driven by increasing awareness about data security concerns and use of the alternative raw material.
Data or signals are transmitted via light in fiber optic transmission.
Therefore there is no way to detect the data being transmitted by "listening in" to the electromagnetic energy "leaking" through the cable, which ensures the absolute security of information.
Small Size: Fiber optic cable has a very small diameter.
For instance, the cable diameter of a single OM3 multimode fiber is about 2mm, which is smaller than that of a coaxial copper cable.
Small size saves more space in fiber optic transmission.
Light Weight: fiber optic cables are made of glass or plastic, and they are thinner than copper cables. These make them lighter and easy to install.
