Fiber optic cable, also referred to as optical fiber cable, is a transmission medium that utilizes optical fibers for transmitting optical signals. It has evolved into a vital component of contemporary communication networks because of its benefits such as high bandwidth, minimal loss, resistance to electromagnetic interference, and expansive transmission capacity.
The core of a fiber cable is typically constructed from high-purity silica (SiO₂) and serves as the innermost part that guides light signals. Single-mode fiber (SMF) features a small core diameter ranging from 8 to 10 μm, designed for long-distance transmission, while multimode fiber (MMF) comes with a larger core diameter of 50/62.5 μm, ideal for short-distance transmission.
High Bandwidth
Capable of carrying substantial data loads, single-mode fiber can support gigabit and even terabit transmission rates such as 10G/40G/100G Ethernet.
Low Signal Loss
At 1550 nm, single-mode fiber maintains a loss of <0.2 dB/km, enabling data transmission over considerable distances without the need for amplification.
Anti-Electromagnetic Interference
Light signals in fiber cables remain unaffected by electromagnetic fields, rendering them suitable for demanding environments like industrial sites and power grids.
Applications Across Industries
Telecommunications
Long-distance trunk networks, 5G base station backhaul, broadband access (FTTH, Fiber to the Home).
Data Centers
High-speed interconnection between servers, supporting cloud computing and big data transmission.
Industrial and Medical Fields
Industrial control systems (e.g., factory automation), medical endoscopes (due to non-conductive and non-radiative properties).
Sensing and Monitoring
Fiber optic sensors for detecting temperature, pressure, vibration, etc., used in pipeline monitoring, structural health monitoring, and more.
Aerospace and Military
Lightweight, anti-interference characteristics for aircraft wiring and military communication systems.
