What are the disadvantages of overhead optical cables for communication
The cons of optical cables, including higher upfront costs, signal attenuation, interoperability issues, security risks, environmental factors, and repair and maintenance challenges, can have a significant impact on the performance of an optical cable network. Overhead cable, known as overhead insulated cable, is an overhead conductor equipped with an insulation layer and a protective sheath. Environmental Resistance: OFCs are highly resistant to various environmental factors like temperature, corrosive liquids, and gases. Low Attenuation: OFCs attenuate signals less than other wired transmission mediums. As a leading provider with two decades of expertise in fiber optic solutions, Weunion understands the critical factors influencing this decision. A fiber optic cable is formed by drawing glass or a special sort of plastic, which can transmit light from one end of the fiber to a special end.
