Optical Fiber Cleaning & Care
There are generally five elements that make up the construction of a fiber-optic strand, or cable: the optic core, optic cladding, a buffer material, a strength material and the outer jacket (see figure below). The optic core is the light-carrying element at the center of the optical fiber and is commonly made from doped silica (typically doped with germania). Surrounding the core is the optic cladding made of pure silica. I
