Fiber optic cable, also referred to as optical fiber cable, serves as a transmission medium utilizing optical fibers for transmitting optical signals. It has evolved into a crucial component in contemporary communication networks thanks to its numerous benefits, such as high bandwidth, low loss, resistance to electromagnetic interference, and substantial transmission capacity.
One of the most significant reasons for the widespread adoption of fiber optic cable in communication networks is its capability to provide high bandwidth, enabling the transmission of large volumes of data at high speed. This is crucial for supporting various modern applications that require fast and reliable data transmission.
Moreover, the low loss characteristics of fiber optic cable make it an ideal choice for long-distance transmission, as it can carry signals over considerable distances without significant signal degradation. Additionally, its resistance to electromagnetic interference enhances the reliability and stability of data transmission in various environments.
The innermost part of a fiber cable is typically made of high-purity silica (SiO₂) and is used to guide light signals. Single-mode fiber (SMF) features a small core diameter (usually 8-10 μm), which is ideal for long-distance transmission. In contrast, multimode fiber (MMF) has a larger core diameter (50/62.5 μm) that is more suitable for short-distance transmission.
High Bandwidth: Fiber cables are capable of transmitting massive amounts of data, supporting gigabit or even terabit transmission rates such as 10G/40G/100G Ethernet.
Low Signal Loss: Single-mode fiber boasts a loss of less than 0.2 dB/km at 1550 nm, enabling transmission over tens of kilometers without the need for amplification.
Anti-Electromagnetic Interference: Light signals carried by fiber cables are impervious to electromagnetic fields, making them ideal for use in harsh environments like industrial sites and power grids.
