Types of Fiber Optic Cables To Consider Before Network Installation

Types of Fiber Optic Cables To Consider Before
Network Installation

• As technology advances, there is a need to
  bring in a change in the wires too. Fiber optic
  cables are like copper cables. A copper wire
  system uses electronic pulses to send
  information. The optical cables use light pulses
  to do the same.

Introduction

• Optical fiber is another common term of fiber
  optic cable. These cables have a large bandwidth
  capacity, high resistance, and need less
  maintenance. The pre-terminated fiber cable
  assemblies have two layers of glass, termed as
  (i) core layer (ii) cladding layer. The core
  glass layer carries the light signal. The
  cladding layer around the core prevents the light
  from escaping. The refractive index of the
  cladding is lower than the core.

Uses of Fiber Optic Cables

• Fiber optic cables have various applications like
  telecommunications, surveillance, and computer
  networking. Optical cables allow networks to send
  data at high speed. Many broadcasting industries
  use optical cables for CATV, HDTV, and other
  related applications. Optical fiber cables are
  also helpful for audio and video transmissions.

Single-mode Fiber (SMF)

• Single-mode fiber, as the name suggests, carries
  a single source of light in a straight line.

6
Multimode Fiber

• The diameter of multimode fiber ranges between 50
  to 100 microns. So, it can accept multiple light
  signals that travel across the phenomenon of
  light reflection.

7
Plastic Fiber

• Plastic fiber cables have long wavelengths of
  fiber through which light carries signals. These
  cables transmit signals up to 10 meters and have
  low bandwidth.
