I- Abstract
BRIEF OVER VIEW OF FIBER OPTIC CABLE ADVANTAGES OVER COPPER:
• SPEED : Fiber optic networks operate at high speeds - up into the gigabits
• BANDWIDTH : large carrying capacity
• DISTANCE : Signals can be transmitted further without needing to be "refreshed" or strengthened.
• RESISTANCE : Greater resistance to electromagnetic noise such as radios, motors or other nearby cables.
• MAINTENANCE : Fiber optic cables costs much less to maintain.
In recent years it has become apparent that fiber-optics are steadily replacing copper wire as an appropriate means of communication signal transmission. They span the long distances between local phone systems as well as providing the backbone for many network systems. Other system users include cable television services, university campuses, office buildings, industrial plants, and electric utility companies.
A fiber-optic system is similar to the copper wire system that fiber-optics is replacing. The difference is that fiber-optics use light pulses to transmit information down fiber lines instead of using electronic pulses to transmit information down copper lines. Looking at the components in a fiber-optic chain will give a better understanding of how the system works in conjunction with wire based systems.
At one end of the system is a transmitter. This is the place of origin for information coming on to fiber-optic lines. The transmitter accepts coded electronic pulse information coming from copper wire. It then processes and translates that information into equivalently coded light pulses. A light-emitting diode (LED) or an injection-laser diode (ILD) can be used for generating the light pulses. Using a lens, the light pulses are funneled into the fiber-optic medium where they transmit themselves down the line.
Think of a fiber cable in terms of very long cardboard roll (from the inside roll of paper towel) that is coated with a mirror.
If you shine a flashlight in one you can see light at the far end - even if bent the roll around a corner.
Light pulses move easily down the fiber-optic line because of a principle known as total internal reflection. "This principle of total internal reflection states that when the angle of incidence exceeds a critical value, light cannot get out of the glass; instead, the light bounces back in. When this principle is applied to the construction of the fiber-optic strand, it is possible to transmit information down fiber lines in the form of light pulses.
II- Introduction
Fiber optics is the branch of science and engineering concerned with optical fibers.
The optical fiber can be used as a medium for telecommunication and networking because it is flexible and can be bundled as cables. Although fibers can be made out of either plastic or glass, the fibers used in long-distance telecommunications applications are always glass, because of the lower optical absorption of glass. The light transmitted through the fiber is confined due to total internal reflection within the material. This is an important property that eliminates signal crosstalk between fibers within the cable and allows the routing of the cable with twists and turns. In telecommunications applications, the light used is typically infrared light, at wavelengths near to the minimum absorption wavelength of the fiber in use.
Fibers are generally used in pairs, with one fiber of the pair carrying a signal in each direction, however bidirectional communications is possible over one strand by using two different wavelengths (colors) and appropriate coupling/splitting devices.
Fibers, like waveguides, can have various transmission modes. The fibers used for long-distance communication are known as single mode fibers, as they have only one strong propagation mode. This results in superior performance compared to other, multi-mode fibers, where light transmitted in the different modes arrives at different times, resulting in dispersion of the transmitted signal. Typical single mode fiber optic cables can sustain transmission distances of 80 to 140 km between regenerations of the signal, whereas most multi-mode fiber have a maximum transmission distance of 300 to 500 meter. Note that single mode equipment is generally more expensive than multi-mode equipment. Fibers used in telecommunications typically have a diameter of 125 µm. The transmission core of single-mode fiber most commonly have a diameter of 9 µm, while multi-mode cores are available with 50 µm or 62.5 µm diameters.
Because of the remarkably low loss and excellent linearity and dispersion behavior of single-mode optical fiber, data rates of up to 40 Gbit/s are possible in real-world use on a single wavelength. Wavelength division multiplexing can then be used to allow many wavelengths to be used at once on a single fiber, allowing a single fiber to bear an aggregate bandwidth measured in terabits per second.
Modern fiber cables can contain up to a thousand fibers in a single cable, so the performance of optical networks easily accommodate even today's demands for bandwidth on a point-to-point basis. However, unused point-to-point potential bandwidth does not translate to operating profits, and it is estimated that no more than 1% of the optical fiber buried in recent years is actually 'lit'.
Modern cables come in a wide variety of sheathings and armor, designed for applications such as direct burial in trenches, installation in conduit, lashing to aerial telephone poles, submarine installation, or insertion in paved streets. In recent years the cost of small fiber-count pole mounted cables has greatly decreased due to the high Japanese and South Korean demand for Fiber to the Home (FTTH) installations.
Recent advances in fiber technology have reduced losses so far that no amplification of the optical signal is needed over distances of hundreds of kilometers. This has greatly reduced the cost of optical networking, particularly over undersea spans where the cost reliability of amplifiers is one of the key factors determining the performance of the whole cable system. In the past few years several manufacturers of submarine cable line terminal equipment have introduced upgrades that promise to quadruple the capacity of older submarine systems installed in the early to mid 1990s..

IV = Problem Statement
New building with extra clients
Currently we have one building as Head Office and now customer has contraction two more new building , are Building A and Building B and each building have 40 computers in separated floor , Ground Floor with 18 computers and First Floor have 22 Computer
Long Distant
From Head Office to Building A , measures length was 800 meters and from Building A to Building B 1400 meters , so that the network connectivity between these three location we can not propose the customer to use another backbone technologies because according to our site study on .
Backbone Connectivity
Regarding to two new locations that are long distant which have mention above , we’ r going to use Fiber Optical Cable Single mode with diameter 9 micron which is provide high bandwidth reliable and flexible wavelength , can then be used to allow many wavelengths to be used at once on a single fiber, allowing a single fiber to bear an aggregate bandwidth measured in terabits per second.
Dataflow / Bandwidth
For back bone connectivity that have long distant like we have mentions , It is really true that we could not connect sunshield twist paired cable ( UTP ) as a backbone and second things is data rates , in this case you may think about wireless or microwave but we come through site study area then you will know that this option could not be set it up , because dataflow and bandwidth are not reliable at those are , which have so many interference and reflection cause by wall of high building , Tree, etc…
For this case customer need to have backbone connection with gigabit data transfer rate and reliable connection. And for this option customer need to have good technology of products , good branch and easily to troubleshoot or also easy to find the part for replacement. So this referred to product and media type ..
No Security
For our project now we are going to talk about internal security (LAN) , because whenever we have interconnection network which have few segments and mostly will face problem with data or information sharing , if we are looking to existing system set up , they have 1 Domain Controller ,1 Additional Domain and ,1 Data Center Server , 1 Proxy Server so all clients’ data were keep in Data Center Server only and those resource are shared to particular user only , that make more securities for they own data. Another things is Data Center Server have do backup every day into the Tape , and also don’t forget about WAN Security which is for internet and mail sharing , and whenever our LAN connection has integrated with WAN then 100 % sure we will face the problem like , Viruses , Hacker, etc.. so to maintain this we have to think more and how to solve this issue , see the following ..
What Should I Do, To Secure My Computer ?
- Install and Use Anti-Virus Programs
- Keep Your System Patched
- Use Care When Reading Email with Attachments
- Install and Use a Firewall Program
- Make Backups of Important Files and Folders
- Use Strong Passwords
- Use Care When Downloading and Installing Programs
- Install and Use a Hardware Firewall
- Install and Use a File Encryption Program and Access Controls
Note :
As long as you follow the above 9 steps , you will get more secure and plus Data Backup .. as bellow.
No Data backup
For our project here you have understand already for what we are going to do , is interconnection between 3 locations , and each building they have many computers working on LAN , but data have been stored on their own computer only , as you known already , whenever data have been stored on that local Hard Drive in user computer which is not safety place to keep or longer storage because client PCs are not reliable at any time , hundred reason that can make those PCs fail . So only things is we have to as or to do data backup or online transaction to Central Server that have bigger Disk Space and reliable Server , and Center Server also need to do backup as every day into the Tape .
No reports for Internet Usage
Our project now is upgraded from old system setup that have WAN connection separately and also spend much cost for each connection but bandwidth slow with no reports at all . Now we are going to cut down smaller connection and connecting to main proxy server because our Proxy Server have connected to the internet through leased line with higher bandwidth , our proxy server can generated reports according to particular user accounts or by IP address ..Ex :
* User account “ user1” with IP address 192.168.0.100 have access to website :
www.xxxx.com
* User account “ user1” with IP address 192.168.0.100 permit have download 2Mb per-day
only etc.. as we can do event cost also .
No online data update
This case also main issue for users , before upgraded backbone connection all the users need to copied source into Diskette , CD , Flash from one of PCs in Building A and pasted on another PCs at difference locations that is take time to processed otherwise they have to send through email for small size of data and this also costly including time delay , but after we upgraded every body can share resource and access information online immediately no more delay according to administrator permission ..

Optical Cabling
Fibers, like waveguides, can have various transmission modes. The fibers used for long-distance communication are known as single mode fibers, as they have only one strong propagation mode. This results in superior performance compared to other, multi-mode fibers, where light transmitted in the different modes arrives at different times, resulting in dispersion of the transmitted signal. Typical single mode fiber optic cables can sustain transmission distances of 80 to 140 km between regenerations of the signal, whereas most multi-mode fiber have a maximum transmission distance of 300 to 500 meters. Note that single mode equipment is generally more expensive than multi-mode equipment. Fibers used in telecommunications typically have a diameter of 125 µm. The transmission core of single-mode fibers most commonly have a diameter of 9 µm, while multi-mode cores are available with 50 µm or 62.5 µm diameters. But for our project , we are using Single Mode Cable with 6 cores for outdoor, please look at whole network diagram bellow.
Logical Diagram
• Outdoor Cable
There are three types of fiber optic cable commonly used: single mode, multimode and plastic optical fiber (POF).
Transparent glass or plastic fibers which allow light to be guided from one end to the other with minimal loss.
Fiber optic cable functions as a "light guide," guiding the light introduced at one end of the cable through to the other end. The light source can either be a light-emitting diode (LED)) or a laser.
The light source is pulsed on and off, and a light-sensitive receiver on the other end of the cable converts the pulses back into the digital ones and zeros of the original signal.
Even laser light shining through a fiber optic cable is subject to loss of strength, primarily through dispersion and scattering of the light, within the cable itself. The faster the laser fluctuates, the greater the risk of dispersion. Light strengtheners, called repeaters, may be necessary to refresh the signal in certain applications.
While fiber optic cable itself has become cheaper over time - a equivalent length of copper cable cost less per foot but not in capacity. Fiber optic cable connectors and the equipment needed to install them are still more expensive than their copper counterparts.
But in this case for our project we are going to use the single mode optical fiber , so please you fell free to look at Single mode and Outdoor because the central core is composed of a dielectric with a dielectric jacket or steel strength member. The individual gel-filled subunit buffer tubes are positioned around the central strength member. Within the subunit buffer tube, six fibers are positioned around an optional dielectric strength member. The individual fibers have a strippable buffer coating. All six subunit buffer tubes are enclosed within a binder that contains an interstitial filling or water-blocking compound. An outer strength member, typically constructed of aramid Kevlar strength members encloses the binder. The outer strength member is surrounded by an inner medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) jacket. The corrugated steel armor layer between the outer high-density polyethylene (HDPE) jacket, and the inner MDPE jacket acts as an external strength member and provides physical protection. Conventional deep-water submarine cables use dual armor and a special hermetically sealed copper tube to protect the fibers from the effects of deep-water environments.
Single Mode cable is a single stand of glass fiber with a diameter of 8.3 to 10 microns that has one mode of transmission. Single Mode Fiber with a relatively narrow diameter, through which only one mode will propagate typically 1310 or 1550nm. Carries higher bandwidth than multimode fiber, but requires a light source with a narrow spectral width. Synonymes monomode optical fibre, single mode Fibre, single mode optical waveguide, uni-mode fibre.
Single-mode fiber gives you a higher transmission rate and up to 50 times more distance than multimode, but it also costs more. Single-mode fiber has a much smaller core than multimode. The small core and single light-wave virtually eliminate any distortion that could result from overlapping light pulses, providing the least signal attenuation and the highest transmission speeds of any fiber cable type.
Single-mode optical fiber is an optical fiber in which only the lowest order bound mode can propagate at the wavelength of interest typically 1300 to 1320nm.
• Indoor Cable
shows a typical multi-fiber, inside-plant cable system. The central core is composed of a dielectric strength member with a dielectric jacket. The individual fibers are positioned around the dielectric strength member. The individual fibers have a strippable buffer coating. Typically, the strippable buffer is a 900- m tight buffer. Each individual coated fiber is surrounded with a subunit jacket. Aramid yarn strength members surround the individual subunits. Some cable systems have an outer strength member that provides protection to the entire enclosed fiber system. Kevlar is a typical material used for constructing the outer strength member for premise cable systems.
But remember that for our project , we are not going to use multi-fibers as shown above , because we have only few connections for indoor unit , please go to the top page which showing Logical Diagram and we use patch cord cable instead of this , it also for indoor use , so please come to see patch cord cable ..
• Patch cord cable
Patch cord is made with glass fibers. Provide very little variation in the signal they carry over long distances. The full potential speed fiber optic cabling can carry even with Gigabit technology. These cables have greater bandwidth than electrical transmission through wires. And mostly we use to connected from adapter in wall mount to via switch which have media optic interface connector and this cable has two types :
1- Simplex cable has a single fiber and single connector.
2- Duplex has two fibers usually side by side in style and also dual connectors.
Mode is a single electromagnetic field pattern that travels in fiber.
Single mode is an optical fiber, with a small core (2-9 microns that supports one mode). The mode size (standard ie 8.3/125) is stamped on the yellow cable jacket. Single mode is most commonly used for high speed, long distance applications.
Multimode is an optical fiber with a core (25-200 microns) that supports several modes. The core commonly 62.5/125 or 50/125 is stamped on the cable jacket.
Always check equipment requirements or the fiber optic cable jacket to determine which core size you need. Multimode is most commonly used for lower speed, short distance applications.
And both of types are commonly used Connectors as ST,SC, LC and FC or MT-RJ , those we can select according to media type of GBIC and Adapter , remember our project use connector “ SC-SC “ . And to order the part cord cable first please look around end to end connections type eg:
Let say , we want to have all interconnections with fiber optic in gigabit and single mode , so
1- Order outdoor fiber optic cable as Single Mode
2- Order Wall mount with Adapter as Single Mode
3- Order Connector as Single Mode
4- Order Patch Cord as Single Mode
5- Order GBIC as Single Mode
6- Order Switch with Support Single Mode
7- Check all type of connectors of end cables
And now what GBIC that we are going to use ( SC, ST, LC, UTP , MT-RJ ) in our project is SC media interface type so we should order one end of our patch cord is SC connector and other end , we need to check the Adapter media type , but for sure our adapter is also SC then patch cord cable is SC-SC connectors.
• GBIC ( Gigabit Interface Converter )
• SFP ( Small Form factor Plug )
Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) is used for backbone inter-network connection between one segment to another segments and support with few kind of medias type like UTP , LC , SC , MT-RJ but for optical purpose it does have LC, SC, MT-RJ and these three kinds working with single mode and multimode . And we can easily note that which label are support Single Mode , please look at bellow !

• Switches
Switch are really just multi ports bridge with more intelligence , they break up collision domain but create one large broadcast domain by default , switch using hardware to filter the network .
A switch is another internetworking device used to manage the bandwidth on a large network. Switches are rapidly becoming one of the most used internetworking devices for connecting even smaller networks because they allow you some control over the use of the bandwidth on the network. A switch, which is often referred to as a "bridge on steroids," controls the flow of data by using the MAC address that is placed on each data packet (which coincides with the MAC address of a particular computer's network card). Switches divide networks into what are called Virtual LANs or VLANs. The great thing about a VLAN, which is a logical grouping of computers on the network into a sort of communication group, is that the computers don't have to be in close proximity or even on the same floor. This allows you to group computers that serve similar types of users into a VLAN. For example, even if your engineers are spread all over your company's office building, their computers can still be made part of the same VLAN, which would share bandwidth.
Switches use a combination of software and hardware to switch packets between computers and other devices on the network.
Switches (because of the aforementioned reasons) are becoming very popular on both small and large networks. They have all but replaced bridges as the internetworking devices for conserving network bandwidth and expanding LANs into larger corporate inter-networks. And they are also making the hub a thing of the past on smaller networks.
Choosing a Network Connectivity Strategy
Now that we have taken a look at the commonly used LAN network architectures, let's concentrate on the different connectivity strategies that can be used to link your computers and other devices together.
Let's take a look at some of the standards for network cables. Then we can look at some of the other connectivity strategies and how they are being used in different LAN settings.

So any kinks of connector are using the same features and we no need to talk more about that because it is over scope of our project.
- Implementation and Operations
After get signed from customer on our proposal and agreement which we have mention clearly of work plan and scope of work , then immediately assign Engineer accordingly to work plant that have schedule by date , and those Engineer who are involved in this project and much responsible for job operations those included personal safety , equipment safety , time attending etc..
Another things whenever they are delivering all items to customer place , they have to get signature from customer and date issue then engineer should understand that , whenever they are laying the outdoor or indoor cable or we can say to processing the our work success due to some help from customer site like , the main person involved in the project who is the one to describe to their staff or department which related to ,
example ,
1- Security guard need to give permission to our engineer when processing the job .
2- Door should be open when engineer need to do at that room or giving the key .
3- Allow to drill the wall for keeping network accessories , cable , switch , wall mount etc.
4- Provide electrical power.
• Engineer job need to do first is , use cable tester to check continuity of end to end cable in the whole role whether the light coming up or not before laying under ground or sky . If light not come up it mean those cable broken some where and it also easily to return back to factory .
• After cable have laid under ground , then need to check continuity once again to make sure that after pull from one end to another end our cable not broken.
• Check with customer , where to keep the wall mount and switches .
• Drill the wall and screw wall mounts .
• Terminating of outdoor cables with particular connectors and estimate lengthy for future spare.
• Re check continuity of cable after crimping by using optical fiber tester. If it is working then
• Manage outdoor cable into wall mount and plugs to adapter .
• Plugs one end of patch cord cable to adapter and one more end plug to GBIC of the switch that already keeping in the safety place .
• Plug power cable to the Switch and turn it on .
• Assign one engineer to another location which is particular end of cable and see the light on particular port which we have connect fiber optic cable , if the light coming then
• Testing connectivity with computer , bring one laptop if we can , and using straight cable plug into via switch on any UTP port and assign IP address on TCP/IP protocol , eg . ip 192.168.0.1/24 and take one more laptop plug it into one more switch on another end with straight cable and assign ip to 192.168.0.2/24 then using ping command to test each other.
Ping from 192.168.0.2
Ping from 192.168.0.1
• Then print the report of connectivity and give it to customer and getting sign then jobs completed
VI- Scope and Limitation

VII- Conclusion
Finally our project have done properly with documents reported and payment settled . And then we totally provide this whole equipments in this project to customer and explain them how to maintenance those equipments including troubleshooting guideline . And one more things is let customer understand well about fiber optic cable then they will know how to careful with this or how to maintained it .
Advantages of optical fibers over wires
• low loss, so repeater-less transmission over long distances is possible
• large data-carrying capacity (thousands of times greater)
• immunity to electromagnetic interference, including nuclear electromagnetic pulses (but can be damaged by alpha and beta radiation)
• high electrical resistance, so safe to use near high-voltage equipment or between areas with different earth potentials
• low weight
• signals contain very little power
Disadvantages of optical fibers compared to wires
• higher cost
• need for more expensive optical transmitters and receivers
• more difficult and expensive to splice than wires
• at higher optical powers, is susceptible to "fiber fuse" wherein a bit too much light meeting with an imperfection can destroy several meters per second
• Can damage your eye if you put your eye direct to glad of fiber optic.
• fiber fuse" detection circuitry at the transmitter can break the circuit and halt the failure to minimize damage.
• cannot carry electrical power to operate terminal devices (Note: current telecommunication trends greatly reduce this concern: availability of cell phones and wireless PDAs; the routine inclusion of back-up batteries in communication devices; lack of real interest in hybrid metal-fiber cables; increased use of fiber-based intermediate systems)
VIII = Project Certification
After the project hundred percent done, both of customer and suppliers have to meet each other for final time to discuss and verified the project .
Explain the customer about project have been done properly and give more advices to customer or suggest some idea for future plans, we can say , do as business partner “ Vender and Supplier” let business close together . Investments in Networking Designed can allow a business to lock in customers and supplier (and lock out competitors ) by building valuable new relationship with them . This can deter both customers and suppliers from abandoning a firm for its competitors or intimidating a firm into accepting less-profitable relationship . and improving the quality of service to customer , distribution , marketing , sales, and service activities .
And let customer have the own feed back , what is customer recommendation or suggestion and verify to our project .
