medium into another
MHz - ANSWER -- Quantifies the bandwidth of a cabling system in a
frequency range
- Information handling capabilities of the medium
- Frequency - ANSWER -Optical pulses using cycles per second, 1
unit of hertz = 1 cycle per second
- 4hz = 4 cycles per second

- Definition of transmission - ANSWER -The movement of
information in the form of electrical or optical signals from one point
to another through a transport medium
-
Megabits - ANSWER -- transmission rate
- Number of bits information that can be transported over the
medium(vehicles of the highway)
Anatomy of a fiber - ANSWER -- Core
- Cladding
- Coating
Attenuation = - ANSWER -The decrease in magnitude of transmission
signal strength between points, expressed in decibel as the ratio of out
put to input signal
, Attenuation [insertion loss] = - ANSWER -Light pulses traveling along
fiber are subjected to loss due to absorption or scattering of the light
Intrinsic = - ANSWER -Controlled by the manufacture/expresses in
decibels per-kilometer impacts the signal to reach the receiver with
sufficient power
Extrinsic = - ANSWER -Controlled by the installer/expresses in decibels
per-kilometer impacts the signal to reach the receiver with sufficient
power
Attenuation loss = - ANSWER -- Expressed in decibels per kilometers -
Impacts the ability of the signal to reach the receiver with sufficient
power
dBm = - ANSWER -Optical power referred to as 1 milliwatt of power
