Fiber Optic Transmission Bandwidth and Price
Bandwidth–distance product Because the effect of dispersion increases with the length of the fiber, a fiber transmission system is often characterized by its bandwidth–distance product, usually expressed in units of MHz·km. This value is a product of bandwidth and distance because there is a trade-off between the bandwidth of the signal and the distance over which it can be carried. First developed in the 1970s, fiber-optics have revolutionized the industry and have played a major role in the advent of the.
