Various Fiebr Optic Cable Types

“Fiber Optic Cable” most valuable source of data transmission generally comprises of a thin glass formally known as optical glass responsible for transmission of light signals. During transmission of light signals a thin layer jacket known as cladding contains these light signals within the glass.

These optical strands are then combined & placed inside a jacket to form a Fiber Optic Cable. Installation of these fiber cables requires extreme pulling resulting in massive pressure exertion on the Fiber Strands which can damage them. To resolve these, Aramid Yarns are included to decrease the pressure. There are many advantages of Fiber Optic Cables that are unknown to ordinary users. Fiber optic cable is divided into two categories listed below:

•         Single Mode Fiber Cable

•         Multi-mode Fiber Cable

Light rays are responsible for transmission of data within single mode fiber cables whereas, LED (light emitting diodes) serve the purpose of data transmission. Multi-mode as the name describes, are quite heavier & thicker than a standard single-mode cable. Both cables operate through fundamental principle of total internal reflection to transmit data from source to destination.
