DESCRIPTION:Many of us have finally become comfortable connecting up comput
 er networks using Ethernet cables. By now\, we’ve learned that a CAT3 ca
 ble may only be suitable for connecting your phone system and a CAT6 cable
  would be more suited towards Gigabit Ethernet.\n\nBut what about fiber op
 tic cables? For many of us\, we know relatively little about them. This se
 minar hopes to change that. We’ll discuss optical fiber requirements inc
 luding attenuation\, frequency response\, dispersion and latency.\n\nWe’
 ll discuss implementation issues such as cores\, cladding\, total internal
  reflection\, single mode and multimode fibers\, step & graded indexing\, 
 tensile strength\, bending radius and wavelength division multiplexing.\nW
 e will then learn about fiber optic transmitters\, fiber manufacturing\, c
 leanliness\, and personal safety issues.\n\nSpeaker(s): George Sullivan\n\
