Abstract

Abstract Fiber optic communications have made great strides, and it is now the foundation of our telecommunications and data networking infrastructures. Due to its beneficial characteristics, including low attenuation, a large bandwidth, and immunity to electromagnetic interference, optical fiber is frequently acknowledged as a superior transmission medium. Optical fibers have been widely used to create high speed lines that can transmit either a single wavelength channel or many wavelength channels using wavelength division multiplexing due to their special features (WDM). The maximum speed of commercial fiber-optic cables was only 2.5 Gb/s and can be extended to 1 Tb/s for short and medium distance. The study clarifies the possible transmission distance for different transmission media silica/plastic optical fibers with various optical fiber window transmissions versus environmental ambient temperature variations. The study demonstrated the bad effects of the temperature effects on the optical fiber transmission media (silica/plastic fibers) for various transmission windows.
