What does nm mean in fiber optic communication
Home / What does nm mean in fiber optic communication
The abbreviation "nm" stands for nanometer, a unit of measurement equal to one billionth of a meter (1 nm = 10^-9 meters). In fiber optic communication, nm is used to denote the wavelength of light used by the optical modules to transmit data. Why do we use the infrared? Because the attenuation of the fiber is much less at those wavelengths. That value determines whether the module is designed for multimode fiber (MMF) or single-mode fiber (SMF), how much attenuation the signal will experience, how dispersion behaves over distance, and whether optical amplification or DWDM systems are possible.
