Fiber Optic Cable

Types of Fiber Optic Cables

Fiber optic cable does not only consist of one type. Based on how the optical fiber works, the types of cables are as follows

1. Single Mode

This type of cable has only one index of light which does not bounce and propagate at each stretch. One of these rays is very rarely disturbed.

2. Multimode Grade Index

This type of cable consists of cores that have a fairly low index of refraction. This core has a glass layer 50 mm in diameter. The cladding itself is around 125 mm in diameter. In making this cable is quite difficult so the price is much more expensive.

Use of Fiber Optic Cables

In general, the function of this cable is to connect computers that are on the same network. In addition, here are some of the uses of fiber optic connectors.

1. Provides maximum optical fiber data transfer speeds of up to 1GB per second.
2. Remote data transfer.
3. Materials made from rust-proof glass or plastic fibers.
4. Prevents electrical shortages because they do not contain electricity.
5. The security is quite high because it is without distortion.
6. Hold it in any weather conditions.
