Page 1

The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) met with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Operating

Officer (COO) to discuss the use of fiber-optic cable. As the Telecommunication Specialist your talking

points somewhat convinced the CFO of the value of fiber-optic cable in certain places within the Network

design. During the CFO’s briefing, the CEO asked the COO to get more information about how fiber-optic

cable works, including the transmission techniques and how light is used to pass information. The COO

called down to your office and asked for a briefing on how fiber-optic cable transmits information and what

the characteristics affect the transmission of information through a fiber-optic cable. Create a PowerPoint

presentation that explains what the COO wants to know.

Begin your task by reviewing the text and researching the ITT Tech Virtual Library and the Internet for

information pertaining to the following:

Principles of Fiber-Optic Transmission

Fiber-Optic Link

Transmitter and Receiver

Optical Fibers

Connectors

Amplitude Modulation

Analog Transmission

Digital Transmission

Analog to Digital Conversion
