Definition: Optical Line Terminal or optical line termination is a device that basically acts as a part of a passive optical network (PON). It is present in the central office of the network and manages the transmission and reception of information across the overall network. Optical line terminal is abbreviated as OLT. OLT do so …
Both semiconductors and superconductors are the two categories of materials that offer conductivity. However, the level of conductivity offered by the two crucially differentiates the two. The significant difference between semiconductors and superconductors is that in the case of semiconductors, the conductivity ranges between conductor and insulator. As against superconductors are the materials whose level …

Shunt and series voltage regulators are the two classifications of linear voltage regulators. The crucial difference between shunt and series voltage regulator is that in the shunt voltage regulator, the control element is in parallel connection with the load. On the contrary, in the series voltage regulator, the control element is serially connected to the …

Symmetric and Asymmetric multiprocessing are the two major classifications of multiprocessing as both include the use of multiple processors for system operation. The significant difference between symmetric and asymmetric multiprocessors lies in the way multiple processors are utilized by the system or we can say, the way multiple processors operate within the system. In symmetric …

Definition: The electromagnetic flow meter is a device used for measuring the flow of the liquid when it passes through the pipeline. Or we can say that the electromagnetic flowmeter use for measuring the flow rate of the electrically conducting fluid. The electrically conductive liquid means the liquid allows the current to pass through it. …
Both charge and mass are the properties of matter. The significant difference between charge and mass is that charge has a classification. As against, the mass has no further classification. Charge mainly exists in two types positive and negative but mass can never be negative, it is always positive. A charge is a component that …
Definition: The term dispersion is widely used when we talk about travelling of light pulse, more specifically we can say light-wave transmission. Dispersion in an optical fiber is the spreading of light pulses when the wave travels through an optical fiber from an end to another. It results in some variation of the actually transmitted …
Definition: When a light ray travels from a denser medium to a rarer medium, with an angle of light incidence more as compared to a critical angle then the incident ray gets reflected back to the same medium. This phenomenon is called Total Internal Reflection. It is abbreviated as TIR. Now the question arises why …
USB-A and USB-C are the two most used categories in which USB cables are classified. The significant difference between USB-A and USB-C is based on the nature possessed by the two cables relative to their plug-in orientation. Basically, USB-A does not offer reversibility in terms of plug-in orientation within the port while USB-C exhibits reversible …
Adhesion and Cohesion are the two classifications of the force of attraction that exist between molecules. People generally consider the two same as these two forces exist together however, the two are quite different from each other. The significant difference between Adhesion and Cohesion is that adhesion is an attractive force that exists between different …
