Challenge: When do I use a Simplex Fiber cable?
Simplex and duplex are different kinds of communication channels, which provide pathways to convey information in telecommunications and computer networking. Which do I use for one way data transfers?
Solution
Simplex Fiber
Simplex fiber optic cable consists of only one fiber link, it is most often used for applications that only require one-way data transfer. One end is the transmitter, while the other is the receiver and that is not reversible.
Example: An interstate trucking scale that sends the weight of the truck to a monitoring station or an oil line monitor that sends data about oil flow to a central location.
