2. Optical fiber connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_fiber_connector

   An optical fiber connector is a device used to link optical fibers, facilitating the efficient transmission of light signals. An optical fiber connector enables quicker connection and disconnection than splicing. They come in various types like SC, LC, ST, and MTP, each designed for specific applications. In all, about 100 different types of ...

3. Fiber-optic communication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_communication

   Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of infrared or visible light through an optical fiber. [1][2] The light is a form of carrier wave that is modulated to carry information. [3] Fiber is preferred over electrical cabling when high bandwidth, long distance, or immunity to ...

4. Fusion splicing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_splicing

   Fusion splicing is the act of joining two optical fibers end-to-end. The goal is to fuse the two fibers together in such a way that light passing through the fibers is not scattered or reflected back by the splice, and so that the splice and the region surrounding it are almost as strong as the intact fiber. The source of heat used to melt and ...

5. Fiber-optic cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_cable

   A fiber-optic cable, also known as an optical-fiber cable, is an assembly similar to an electrical cable but containing one or more optical fibers that are used to carry light. The optical fiber elements are typically individually coated with plastic layers and contained in a protective tube suitable for the environment where the cable is used ...

6. Optical fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_fiber

   Mechanical splices typically have a higher optical loss and are less robust than fusion splices, especially if the gel is used. Fibers are terminated in connectors that hold the fiber end precisely and securely. An optical fiber connector is a rigid cylindrical barrel surrounded by a sleeve that holds the barrel in its mating socket.

7. Line splice - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_splice

   Splicing of glass fibers by thermal fusion splice. Fiber optic cable sleeve Fiber optic cable splicer. Fiber-optic cables are spliced using a special arc-splicer, with installation cables connected at their ends to respective "pigtails" - short individual fibers with fiber-optic connectors at one end. The splicer precisely adjusts the light ...

8. Single-mode optical fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-mode_optical_fiber

   In fiber-optic communication, a single-mode optical fiber (SMF), also known as fundamental- or mono-mode, [1] is an optical fiber designed to carry only a single mode of light - the transverse mode. Modes are the possible solutions of the Helmholtz equation for waves, which is obtained by combining Maxwell's equations and the boundary conditions.

9. Cleave (fiber) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleave_(fiber)

   A cleaved fiber. A cleave in an optical fiber is a deliberate, controlled break, intended to create a perfectly flat end face perpendicular to the fiber's longitudinal axis. . The process of cleaving an optical fiber forms one of the steps in the preparation for a fiber splice operation, regardless of the subsequent splice being a fusion splice or a mechanical splice; the other steps in the ...
