Fiber optic cable, also known as optical fiber cable, is a communication line material used for transmitting optical signals. It mainly consists of two parts: optical fiber and protective layer. Fiber optic cable is the core part of optical signal transmission, usually composed of high refractive index fiber materials such as silica, which has the advantages of high optical transmission efficiency and resistance to electromagnetic interference. The protective layer is used to protect optical fibers from external environmental influences, including fiber cores, fillers, and cladding layers. Fillers are mainly used to fill the gaps between fiber optic cable cores, increasing the mechanical strength and tensile performance of optical cables; The coating layer is located on the outer layer of the filling material, providing additional protection such as water resistance, corrosion resistance, and UV resistance.
The main function of optical cables is to achieve efficient transmission of optical signals. Therefore, specific processes and technologies are used in the production process, such as prefabricated optical cables, drawn optical cables, and strong coating layers. These processes ensure that optical cables can withstand long-distance and high-capacity data transmission requirements.
Fiber optic cables are widely used in various fields such as communication, television, and computer networks due to their high transmission speed, long transmission distance, and strong anti-interference ability. With the rapid development of information technology, the application scope of optical cables will further expand and become an important component of future communication networks.
