A Guide for Choosing the Fiber Optic Cable for Your Application
A fiber optic cable is named so based on the optical fibers that it has. The fibers are mainly strands of glass or plastic that can carry optical signals through it. The fibers are contained in a thin jacket known as cladding. The fibers are contained within a thick overall jacket to make a cable. The electrical signals are produced by transmitting device is converted into optical signals inside the cable using optical transmitters. The optical pulses are again converted at the delivery end into electrical signals and transmitted. A fiber link needs two types of fibers – one for sending as well as one for receiving.
