Fiber Optics - Transmitters - Discrete are specialized electronic components that function to convert electrical signals into optical signals. They play a core role in fiber optic communication systems, permitting the transfer of data over long distances at high speeds. The conversion process is vital as it allows for the signals to be transmitted efficiently through the fiber optic cable. These transmitters contain a light source whose intensity is modulated or switched by the electrical signals, leading to the creation of an optical signal.
These transmitters have broad applications in telecommunication networks, cable television networks, and internet data transmission due to their efficiency and high speed. Additionally, they are characterized by their ability to transmit signals with minimal loss and interference. They are also known for their robustness, low power consumption, and small size. Broadly utilized manufacturers of Fiber Optics - Transmitters - Discrete include Finisar, Broadcom Limited, Honeywell, and Avago Technologies among others.
