DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OPTICAL CABLES AND COAXIAL CABLES

Customers using the Internet on cable TV lines running on coaxial cables will often experience lag due to poor transmission signal. If the lag is greater, the Internet becomes less stable. On the other hand, coaxial cables generally encounter a condition related to stability when transmitting at high speed. While these disadvantages are not encountered when using transmission lines with fiber optic cables. Since the transmission line signal of the fiber optic core is fiberglass, there is almost no loss in all circumstances in terms of weather, magnetic field or data transfer rate.

What is the cost of using a low or high cable line, depending on the connection models of the ISP? Moreover, the accompanying technical conditions will also affect the monthly usage rates.

 

Optical Cables

With fiber optic cables, there are two types of cable and subscriber cable. The large cable has many small cables inside, to distribute signals from the station to touch the cable cabinets, the fiber optic boxes are placed on the sidewalk, hanging above the electric poles or connecting the stations together. Subscriber cable is a type of cable that is pulled from the cabinet to the customer's house, with 1 or 2 fibers depending on the module used, which is 1 core or 2 cores. The fiber optic part in the customer's home will usually be yellow. Especially download and upload speeds are always the same. This is a way to help users identify the easiest fiber optic cable.

 

Coaxial Cables

With the network cables - coaxial cables - another name is Camera cables, used a lot in cable television providing internet service on coaxial cables to take advantage of available coaxial infrastructure such as EOC technology, the components of Coaxial cables include:

• Copper Clad Steel: Conductive core is made of copper coated steel

• Aluminum foli shield: Conductive core cover is an insulating layer made of Polyethylene with an external protective adhesive that is waterproof, keeping the connector firmly connected.

• Aluminum Braid: is aluminum foil with aluminum foil fibers covering 60% of the cables with anti-jamming function as well as keeping the signal from being leaked out.

• PVC Jaket: is the outer PVC package to protect the cables.
