Abstract
Since the 1980s fibre communication systems have been installed for use in long-distance connections, mainly between trunk exchanges. This apphcation benefited greatly from the peculiarities of fibre transmission: easy transmission of digital binary signals, high capacity, long distances covered without regenerators, immunity to interference. This has led nowadays to a trunk network where fibre has replaced coaxial cables to a large extent.
