Cable assembly containing one or more optical fibers that are used to carry light
A fiber-optic cable, also known as an optical-fiber cable, is an assembly that contains one or more optical fibers, glass or polymer, that carry light, with construction similar to an electrical cable. Individual optical fibers are typically coated with various polymer layers and ultimately enclosed by an outer jacket. The jacketed cable can be routed with no protection or contained in an electrical conduit suitable for the environment where the cable is used. Different fiber-optic cable types: SMF or MMF, are used for fiber-optic communication in diverse applications: long-distances, connecting parts of a building, or transmitting data across continents.
