fiber optic cable to rewrite the boundaries of the current telecommunication, television and data systems. These new technologies hold great advantages over the more traditional systems, as Koaxial metal (copper) wire. To understand what you are doing this is that the best systems in various applications, it is important to first understand how these cables are made to work.

Optical fiber communication has three components. This is the basic component, cladding, and coating (sometimes referred to as the Jacket). These are elements arranged in concentric circles, or layers, starting in the middle part of the cable.

First rank, finding the middle cable is properly called primary. This is part of the cable signal lights that are transmitted sexually. There are various types of eyes that various diameter fibers. In general, industrial fibers currently used in combination with a diameter of 8.3 μm, 50 μm and 62.5 μm (micrometer). The average diameter of human hair is 70 μm. Signal light travels through a foundation, a secure and protected by a second layer called the cladding.

Cladding around the core and the two main objectives servants. First, protect the basic signal from external interference by anyone. Second, in offering high-reflective high limits, designed to keep the signal contained in the base fiber. Design is usually known as total reflection and the signal into the lead in the direction he wanted, while preventing almost all data will be lost.

Core and cladding are made together as one part of silica glass and some different songs, and can not be separated from each other. Glass has a major hole, if you watch the fight. In contrast, very stable at all.

Final and outermost layer is called layer. Sometimes it is called Jacket. This layer is a common ultraviolet (UV) light-cured acryl ate used during the manufacturing process. The aim is to provide the physical environment and protection of the fiber. In the installation process, this layer was stripped from the cladding to allow proper operation.
