Impact Of Covid-19 Outbreak On Fiber Optic Component Market

May 6, 2021

Fiber optics is the technology associated with data transmission using light pulses through strands of fiber made of glass or plastic over long distances
Fiber optic components are used to form the fiber optic networking system. The fiber system is more complex than the older copper wired system.
Fiber optic components are broadly divided into active components and passive components. Active components include optical amplifiers, tunable wavelength filters, dispersion compensators, wavelength converters, optical switches, external modulators, transmitters, and receivers. Passive components include multiplexers, demultiplexers, fixed-wavelength filters, couplers, splitters, isolators, and circulators.
Active fiber optic components need external power to work while passive fiber optic components work without any external power
