Twisted-Pair- Twisted pair cabling is a type of wiring in which two conductors (the forward and return conductors of a single circuit) are twisted Fiber-Optic Cable- a cable made of optical fibers that can transmit large amounts of information at the speed of light. Dark Fiber- Dark fiber or unlit fiber (or fiber) is unused optical fibers, available for use in fiber-optic communications Coaxial Cable- a transmission line for high-frequency signals Plenum- A space completely filled with matter Riser-

existing building state of the art by running fiber throughout the space. For this project I will choose an office building as an example of what type of hardware that will be needed inside and outside of the building to accommodate the fiber. I will discuss some safety procedures, and some regulations and standards that will apply to this install that may have not been regarded to when installing copper wire. In this setup, there will be an FTTB (Fiber-to-the-building) passive optical network. On

Part 1: Bending Water For the experiment I used a comb and various items with synthetic fiber. Being in the military I don’t have much hair to run a comb through. To begin I used a couple of throw pillows we have on our couch. Initially I didn’t see much of an effect. I tried a blanket and rubber the comb quite vigorously to make sure it would get a charge and place the comb higher near the faucet and saw the water begin to bend. I went on to continue with the balloon and it also bent the water

necessary strengths, especially in aerospace industry led to the development of the modern fiber reinforced laminated composite materials in the late 70’s. While light weight metals such as aluminum or its alloys were widely used in the industry, they still lacked the necessary strengths and stiffnesses required in high strength applications. These limitations of pure materials or alloys were overcome by embedding fibers of glass, carbon, Boron and other substances in a metal or polymer matrix paving the

Africa. These two conditions were rare in the 18th century and appear to be linked to the reduction of fiber in flour due to the development of roller mills that replaced grist mills in the late 1800’s. Roller mills were a more efficient method of refining wheat into flour; however this resulted in the destroying or removal of most of the fiber from the grain. This type of flour absent of fiber became the staple of most flour products from that time forward. Another theory on the advent of these

T(X) and SONET Hierarchy SONET Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) are SMP’s that transfer digital information over optical fiber using Light Emitting Diodes, or LEDs. SONET allows for simultaneous transmission of a multitude of different circuits of different origin with a single framing protocol. The unit of framing in SONET is STS-3c, which stands for Synchronous Transport Signal, and the C stands for concatenated. This may also be referred to as

NT1210 Lab 4.2: Fiber-optic Cables Exercise 4.2.1 The light in an SMF cable travels down the center of the fiber parallel to the direction of the fiber in a single path. Can this type of cable be used to transmit and receive bits simultaneously, or does it require one fiber for transmitting and one for receiving? Justify your answer using your textbook and Internet research. No it cannot transmit and simultaneously receive bits with a single cable. A second cable would be needed for sending
