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 22 December 2024. 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. Zip-cord - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip-cord

   Zip-cord is a type of electrical cable with two or more conductors held together by an insulating jacket that can be easily separated simply by pulling apart. In Australia it is known as 'figure-8' cable. [1] The zip-cord term is also used with optical fiber cables consisting of two optical fibers joined in a similar manner.

4. Fiber-optic communication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_communication

   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. Radiation effects on optical fibers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_effects_on...

   When optical fibers are exposed to ionizing radiation such as energetic electrons, protons, neutrons, X-rays, Ƴ-radiation, etc., they undergo 'damage'. [1] [2] The term 'damage' primarily refers to added optical absorption, resulting in loss of the propagating optical signal leading to decreased power at the output end, which could lead to premature failure of the component and or system.

6. Optical fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_fiber

   External optical fiber cable jackets and buffer tubes protect glass optical fiber from environmental conditions that can affect the fiber's performance and long-term durability. On the inside, coatings ensure the reliability of the signal being carried and help minimize attenuation due to microbending.

7. Fiber-optic patch cord - Wikipedia

   The inner diameter measures 9 μm for single-mode cables, and 50 / 62.5 μm for multi-mode cables. The development of "reduced bend radius" fiber in the mid-2000s, enabled a trend towards smaller cables. Each unit of diameter reduction in a round cable, produces a disproportionate corresponding reduction in the space the cable occupies. [1]
