2. Fiber-optic cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_cable

   This is an accepted version of this page This is the latest accepted revision, reviewed on 19 January 2025. Cable assembly containing one or more optical fibers that are used to carry light A TOSLINK optical fiber cable with a clear jacket. These cables are used mainly for digital audio connections between devices. A fiber-optic cable, also known as an optical-fiber cable, is an assembly ...

3. Optical fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_fiber

   An optical fiber doped with certain rare-earth elements such as erbium can be used as the gain medium of a fiber laser or optical amplifier. Rare-earth-doped optical fibers can be used to provide signal amplification by splicing a short section of doped fiber into a regular (undoped) optical fiber line.

4. Fiber-optic communication - Wikipedia

   A cable reel trailer with conduit that can carry optical fiber Multi-mode optical fiber in an underground service pit An optical fiber cable consists of a core, cladding , and a buffer (a protective outer coating), in which the cladding guides the light along the core by using the method of total internal reflection .

5. Multi-mode optical fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-mode_optical_fiber

   The equipment used for communications over multi-mode optical fiber is less expensive than that for single-mode optical fiber. [1] Typical transmission speed and distance limits are 100 Mbit/s for distances up to 2 km (), 1 Gbit/s up to 1000 m, and 10 Gbit/s up to 550 m.

6. Optical ground wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_ground_wire

   An alternative to OPGW is use of the power cables to support a separately-installed fiber bundle. Other alternatives include fiber-bearing composite power conductors (OPCC), wrapped fibre optic cable (SkyWrap or OPAC), or using transmission towers to support a separate All-Dielectric Self-Supporting fiber cable with no conductive elements.

7. Optical fiber connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_fiber_connector

   Optical fiber connectors are used in telephone exchanges, for customer premises wiring, and in outside plant applications to connect equipment and fiber-optic cables, or to cross-connect cables. Most optical fiber connectors are spring-loaded, so the fiber faces are pressed together when the connectors are mated.
