The Fundamentals of Optical Fiber Cables

By Rocky Hallipherd


The importance of fiber optic cables are known by those in the internet connection business. With the years passing, copper wires are being replaced by these as a way to establish internet connection. Now there are those who would ask, what are Fiber Cables? What are Fiber Optic Patch Cables for exactly?



The cables contain within one or more fiber optics. Said elements are usually coated individually with layers of plastic and then placed in a tube which will protect it from the environment. The type of tube used on the cables depend on the type of environment they'll be going.

Fiber Cables consist of a core and a layer of cladding. If they are only for indoor use, the fiber optic cables are just covered by a light plastic tube. But a sturdier material is used to cover the tube when it will be used outdoor. How to protect them from water is the main problem with using Fiber Optic Patch Cables outdoor. The unpredictability of the weather is a given. Sometimes it rains and at other times there are snow and hail to deal with.

What this means is that without a doubt the tubes are constantly wet. There are times as well when the tubes ought to be submerged in water. And so the problem of how to ensure water doesn't get into the cables. The best way to deal with this is before wrapping the cables in with the tube, they are first place within a copper tube. Placing water absorbent jelly around the tube is another option. Cables these days are heavily protected. Makers have thought ahead and thought of potential dangers for cables.

Said cables have the capacity to transfer terabytes in moments. The right provider to get them working is all that is needed. Without a doubt, they are very useful. The internet connection would not be the same without them.

Strength is something fiber optic cables have. It's inevitable that there are elements which can affect their strength. The reliability of Fiber Cables are also affected by factors such as how the manufacturers made them and how old they are. Another factor that affect is environment. Other factors that can affect how Fiber Optic Patch Cables work would be changes in temperature and weather. The good thing though, is that it isn't difficult to find a replacement for them. All one has to do is go online to look them up in various sites.
