Optical Fiber Cable Concept Explanation

Optical fiber cable is a communication cable assembly that utilizes one or more optical fibers placed in an enveloping jacket as the transmission medium and can be used individually or in groups. Optical cables are mainly composed of optical fibers (glass filaments as thin as hair) and plastic protective sleeves and plastic sheaths. Optical cable is a communication line in which a certain number of optical fibers are composed of a cable core in a certain way, covered with a sheath, and some are also covered with an outer sheath to realize optical signal transmission.

That is: the cable formed by the optical fiber (optical transmission carrier) through a certain process. The basic structure of the optical cable is generally composed of several parts such as the cable core, reinforcing wire, filler and sheath, and there are also waterproof layers, buffer layers, insulated metal wires and other components as needed.
