Abstract
Local computer networks that communicate over copper conductors have been developed to permit resource sharing and provide increased performance. Such networks typically operate at bandwidth-length (Bw-L) products up to a few MHz-km. To attain higher Bw-L products and enhanced EMI immunity in such net- works, an optical fiber network is advantageous. This paper describes several current system experiments that use fiber optics in local computer networks.
