With DXOMARK you can display the cameras with three different views - Grid, List or Graph in order for you to have the best solution to compare the filtered results. Choose the cameras you want to compare from the results below. Then in the selection box, you can check up to three cameras at a time to compare their data.

As their respective names indicate, glass fibre is made of small strands of glass while plastic fibre has a core and a coating made of plastic or polymeric materials.

Single-mode optical fibre is characterised by a higher transmission rate and can reach up to 50 times more distance than multimode. However, it is more expensive.

The reason for combining fibre optic and coaxial cable is economic, since, as we have seen throughout the article, glass fibre is more delicate and expensive.

Unlike coaxial (copper) cables, fibre uses glass, as we have seen above. The FTTH (Fiber to the home) concept implies that the entire network is fibre optic.

Multimode optical fibre has a larger diameter than single-mode, ranging from 50 to 100 microns. In most applications where multimode cable is used, two fibres are required.

Optical fibre can have different types depending on the way in which the light propagates, depending on the material it is made of, or depending on whether what reaches our home is optical fibre as such or, ultimately, by means of a coaxial cable.

Another concept that would be interesting to explain is that of fibre coaxial (HFC) and fibre to the home (FTTH). As a main idea, the main difference is that FTTH brings the optical fibre to our own home while in HFC the optical fibre technology reaches a node and from there to our home a coaxial cable arrives that allows the connection.

Previously, other types of FTTx networks (FTTB, FTTN, FTTC or FTTA) were common, which essentially carried the fibre, respectively, to the building, the node, a cabinet similar to the node, or an antenna.

Throughout the article we have analysed different types of fibre optics that may exist, depending on the material it is made of, how the light beams are transmitted or whether or not it is actually the fibre that reaches the home.

HFC fibre (Hybrid Fiber-Coaxial) could be translated as hybrid coaxial fibre. It was once used by cable TV companies to deliver their content to the home, and over time it has been used to provide Internet connectivity by taking advantage of the infrastructure already in place.

Multimode fibre provides high bandwidth at high speeds, from 10 to 100 MB, although in long cable runs (over 914 metres) many light paths can encounter distortion problems, so single-mode fibre tends to be used in applications using Gigabit or more.

The advantages of single-mode fibre include almost unlimited bandwidth and low attenuation, which is why it is used in long distance scenarios.

A single-mode cable is a single glass fibre bundle with a diameter of 8.3 to 10 microns that has one transmission mode. To put this figure into context, it should be noted that a human hair can range from 15 microns (very fine) to 170 microns (extremely coarse), with 60 to 110 microns being the most common.

Depending on the paths followed by the light beams inside a fibre, i.e. its propagation mode, we can find two types of optical fibre: single-mode and multimode. Let us look at the main characteristics of each of them.

Measures camera performance for a general-purpose use case, based on the combination of three use case scores: Portrait, Landscape and Sports.

The DXOMARK scores in the rankings below reflect the device’s performance and the quality of the user experience. These scores, trusted by the industry, are backed up by exhaustive protocols that gather hundreds of measurements run in DXOMARK’s state-of-the-art laboratories.
