1930. John L. Baird and C.W. Hansell. Were granted patent for
scanning and transmitting television images through uncoated
fiber cables.
1.Cost – the cost is a little great higher than a basic copper wire
Power Budget - is the amount of fiber optic cable loss that a datalink
(transmitter to receiver) can tolerate in order to operate properly. The
power budget has both a minimum and maximum value, which means
it needs at least a minimum value of loss so that it does not overload
the receiver and a maximum value of loss to ensure the receiver has
sufficient signal to operate properly.
Power Loss - is the amount of loss that a fiber optic cable plant
should have if it is installed properly. It is calculated by adding the
estimated average losses of all the components used in the cable plant
to get the estimated total end-to-end loss.

Pr = Pt – Losses
Elements of link
1.Transmitter:
Operating wavelength (λ), Linewidth (Δλ), Rise time, Bit-rate,
Line format, and Power level
2. Fiber Optic:
SMF/MMF, Cable loss, Spool Length
3. Receiver:
PSEN, PSAT, Rise time
4. Connection:
No. of Splices, Splice loss, No. of Connectors, Connector
Loss
5. In Line Devices:
Splitter, Filter, Attenuator, Amplifier Insertion loss, Gain
