Fiber Optics: Understanding the Basics
Fiber also is easier to install and requires less duct space. Applications Some of the major application areas of optical fibers are: • Communications — Voice, data,
Power Fiber Optic Communication Lines

Communication networks are an integral part of interconnected transmission lines in a power grid, analogous to the spinal cord for control signal and information exchange among substations, data hubs, and load dispatch centers. This article covers the major trend and design aspects of fiber optics communication link in power transmission line netwo. 1 Knowhow of prevailing setupWhile the primary objective is always to get the best solution for the lowest price, in the case of extension projects, the design engineers must also keep an eye on the existing setup. The issue of back-compatibility and upgradationsshould be properly accessed in existing equipment, even more so in the case of proprietary legacy setups.
