- An optical fiber
cable is a cable containing one or more optical fibers. The optical
fiber elements are typically individually coated with plastic layers and
contained in a protective tube suitable for the environment where the
cable will be deployed.
- A fiber optic cable
consists of a bundle of glass threads, each of which is capable of
transmitting messages modulated onto light waves. There are three types
of fiber optic cable commonly used: single mode, multimode and plastic
optical fiber (POF).
- A basic fiber optic
system consists of a transmitting device, which generates the light
signal; an optical fiber cable, which carries the light; and a receiver,
which accepts the light signal transmitted. The fiber itself is passive
and does not contain any active, generative properties.
- Fiber optic cable
functions as a "light guide," guiding the light introduced at one end of
the cable through to the other end. The light source can either be a
light-emitting diode (LED) or a laser.
- An optical fiber (or
fibre) is a glass or plastic fiber designed to guide light along its
length. Fiber optics is the overlap of applied science and engineering
concerned with the design and application of optical fibers.
- An optical fiber is
a single, hair-fine filament drawn from molten silica glass. These
fibers are replacing metal wire as the transmission medium in
high-speed, high-capacity communications systems that convert
information into light, which is then transmitted via fiber optic
cable.
- An optical fiber is
manufactured from silicon dioxide by either of two methods. The first,
the crucible method, in which powdered silica is melted, produces
fatter, multimode fibers suitable for short-distance transmission of
many light wave signals. The second, the vapor deposition process,
creates a solid cylinder of core and cladding material that is then
heated and drawn into a thinner, single-mode fiber for long-distance
communication.
- Optical fibres in a
cable are normally protected in one of two ways, either being tight
buffered or contained in loose tubes. When tight buffered the individual
optical fibre is covered directly with a layer of thermoplastic material
or one or more fibres can be contained within a loose tube which is
filled with a thixotropic gel. These processes are performed on
specially equipped extrusion lines.
- Today, a variety of
industries including the medical, military, telecommunication,
industrial, data storage, networking, and broadcast industries are able
to apply and use fiber optic technology in a variety of applications.
- Fiber optic cables
are not sensitive to electromagnetic fields or atmospheric conditions
that can degrade signaling in wireless and copper. This advantage
prevents data loss and data from being obtained from the fiber
itself.
- India has become the
world's fourth largest market for optic-fibre cable after Japan, the US,
and China.
- The demand for
optical fiber cable has increased dramatically over the last two years.
While demand began decreasing in North America and Europe in late 2000,
India was experiencing a boom.
- Several companies
around the world manufacture optical fibers. The large
telecommunications fiber manufacturers are United States, Asia and the
Pacific, Europe.
